Judd Apatow Netflix Comedy Series 'Love' Gets February Premiere, Teaser: What's It About?

Judd Apatow has produced some of the funniest and most insightful pieces of entertainment in the past few years, from Lena Dunham's HBO series Girls to Amy Schumer's recent romantic comedy hit Trainwreck. Now his new series with Netflix will expand on how he views Love, starting in February, with a new teaser!

The new series follows Gus (played by Paul Rust from Inglourious Basters) and Mickey (Gillian Jacobs, best known for her work in Community), two people who navigate the modern love from opposite directions, as he's described as a "nice guy" while she's the "wild child."

After meeting on a chance encounter, the two then navigate the embarrassing moments leading up to intimacy in the upcoming show.

Other stars include Bad Teacher actor Dave Allen, Bridesmaids star Steve Bannos and singer Chantal Claret, all of whom will be featured prominently as recurring characters in the 12-episode event, which already secured a second season when Netflix bought it in late 2014, much like with Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

Coming Soon describes Apatow's latest project as an "unflinching, hilarious and excruciatingly honest take on modern relationships," as the director joins the growing list of filmmakers who are getting more involved with the streaming site turned producing company.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Love will be released on Feb. 19 for an appropriate Valentine's Day launch, near a few other highly awaited projects on the streaming service, like Chelsea Handler's Chelsea Does, which will come out on Jan. 23 and the sequel Fuller House, which will become available for binge-watching the following weekend.

The first half of the year is going to be a very hit-packed one for Netflix, as they're also releasing the fourth season of their critically acclaimed show, House of Cards, besides a second outing of Marvel's Daredevil
