Netflix has a new adult animated comedy series in the works called Hoops. Jake Johnson (New Girl, Jurassic World, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse) has been cast as the the lead role.

Johnson will play “a hot-headed, foul-mouthed high school basketball coach who thinks turning around his God-awful team will take him to the big leagues.” I enjoy the characters that Johnson plays and this seems like it will be another great project for him.

This sounds like it could be a funny series. It was created Ben Hoffman, who previously wrote for The Late Late Show with James Corden, and Archer. He also serves as an executive producer alongside Phil Lord and Chris Miller because, of course, they’re involved! This seems to be the kind of project that they would gravitate towards.

Netflix has ordered ten episodes of the half-hour series and it will most likely premiere sometime in 2019.
