Gina Rodriguez (Jane the Virgin), Damon Wayans Jr. (Happy Endings), and Tom Ellis (Lucifer) have joined the cast of an upcoming romantic comedy at Netflix titled Players. Marc Platt and Ryan Christians are producing for Marc Platt Productions with Ross Dinerstein for Campfire.

Trish Sie (The Sleepover, Pitch Perfect 3) is set to direct the feature from a script by Whit Anderson, who has written for shows like Ozark and Marvel’s Daredevil.

Deadline reports, “The plot follows Chicago sportswriter Mack (Rodriguez) who has spent years devising successful hook-up ‘plays’ with best friend Adam (Wayans Jr.) and their crew, but when she unexpectedly falls head-over-heels for one of her targets (Ellis), they all must learn what it takes to go from simply scoring to playing for keeps.”

This is a fun premise and cast, and it sounds like a movie worth checking out. Are you interested?
