Netflix has released a funny first teaser trailer for their latest adult-themed animated basketball comedy series titled Hoops.
Jake Johnson stars in the series as a horrible high school basketball coach named Ben Hopkins, who as you will see in this trailer, has no basketball skills. He just embarrassed himself in front of the team that he’s coaching.
The series was created by Ben Hoffman, and the story centers on “a hot-headed, foul-mouthed high school basketball coach who thinks turning around his god awful team will take him to the ‘big leagues’ and turn his miserable life around.” Coach Ben Hopkins, is described as “a pathetic, angry, foul-mouthed coach desperate to prove himself, but always looking for an easy way to get the job done.”
Johnson is joined by Rob Riggle as Barry Hopkins, Natasha Leggero as Shannon, Ron Funches as Ron, Cleo King as Opal, and A.D. Miles as Matt. It will also feature the voices of Nick Swardson, Gil Ozeri, Max Greenfield, Steve Berg, and Sam Richardson.
