Judd Apatow, Paul Rust
and Lesley Arfin are bringing an unflinching, hilarious and excruciatingly
honest take on modern relationships to Love, a new Netflix original series,
licensed globally and debuting in 2016 in all Netflix territories. Netflix has
made a two-season commitment to Love, which debuts with 10 episodes in 2016
and 12 the following year.

Love follows Gus (Paul Rust from I Love You, Beth Cooper and Inglorious
Basterds) and Mickey (Gillian Jacobs) as they navigate the exhilarations and
humiliations of intimacy, commitment, and other things they were hoping to
avoid. Jacobs is best known for her role as Britta in the critically-acclaimed
series Community and can next be seen in Community's 6^th season, Life
Partners, Hot Tub Time Machine 2 and Girls.
The half-hour comedy series is produced by Apatow Productions and Legendary
Television, and created and written by Apatow, Rust and Arfin (Brooklyn
Nine-Nine, Girls). Brent Forrester (The Office, The Simpsons) will executive
produce.
"Judd Apatow has a unique comedic voice that manages to be delightful,
insightful, and shockingly frank -- often at the same time," said Netflix
Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos. "Together with Paul and Lesley, he's
bringing a whole new level of agony and ecstasy to this modern day comedy of
manners."
"I am so excited to get to work with Paul and Lesley on this project," said
Apatow. "Netflix has been supportive in ways I couldn't create in my wildest
fever dreams."
"We at Legendary are thrilled to be working with the wonderfully talented Judd
and excited to partner with the Netflix team," said Bruce Rosenblum, Legendary
Television's President of Television and Digital Media "We look forward to
validating their support for this innovative and genuinely funny series."
