Netflix has released the first trailer for Players, the romantic comedy starring Gina Rodriguez, Damon Wayans Jr, and Tom Ellis. And we’ll admit, there’s something about sports-centric movies with women at their center. And about Tom Ellis in general, especially without a shirt. We might not be in our Luficer era anymore, but some things you do not forget, okay?
In the trailer, Mack, a New York sportswriter and an expert at hookup plays ends up catching the most surprising thing of all — feelings. It’s sports and romance and friendship all at once, and we couldn’t be more excited for this one. Especially as it’s coming on Valentine’s Day!
You can check out the trailer below:
Here’s the synopsis:
New York sportswriter Mack (Gina Rodriguez) has spent years devising successful hook-up “plays” with best friend Adam (Damon 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. When Mack unexpectedly falls for her latest target, charming war correspondent Nick (Tom 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.
