“New Girl” star Jake Johnson is heading to Netflix to voice the main character in a new adult animated comedy series titled “Hoops,” TheWrap has confirmed.
Johnson will voice the role of Coach Ben Hopkins, who is described as “a hot-headed, foul-mouthed high school basketball coach who thinks turning around his God-awful team will take him to the ‘big leagues.’”
Netflix has ordered 10 episodes of the half-hour comedy, created and written by Ben Hoffman, who will also executive produce. Johnson will executive produce with Hoffman, as will Phil Lord and Chris Miller with the duo’s Lord Miller Productions.
