Gina Rodriguez (Not Dead Yet), Damon Wayans Jr (The Harder They Fall), and Tom Ellis (Lucifer) lead the cast of Netflix’s upcoming romantic comedy Players. The streaming service just released the first batch of photos from the rom-com that takes its name from a group of friends who refuse to become emotionally involved in relationships.
The cast also includes Joel Courtney (The Kissing Booth), Augustus Prew (The Morning Show), Liza Koshy (Work It), Ego Nwodim (Saturday Night Live), and Marin Hinkle (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel).
“New York sportswriter Mack (Rodriguez) has spent years devising successful hook-up ‘plays’ with best friend Adam (Wayans Jr.) and their crew. While it has led to countless one-night stands over the years, following their playbook comes with a strict set of ground rules — chief among them: you can’t build a relationship from a play,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “When Mack unexpectedly falls for her latest target, charming war correspondent Nick (Ellis), she begins to rethink the game entirely. As the lines between work, fun, friendship, and romance begin to blur, Mack must learn what it takes to go from simply scoring to playing for keeps.”
Trish Sie (Sitting in Bars with Cake, Pitch Perfect 3) directed from a screenplay by Whit Anderson. Ross M. Dinerstein, Marc Platt, Adam Siegel, and Ryan Christians served as producers, with Ross Girard, Sophia Lin, Gina Rodriguez, and Molly Breeskin executive producing.
