Netflix orders 2 seasons of new Judd Apatow sitcom
Netflix's slate of original programs just got a little more crowded. The streaming service has ordered two seasons of Love, a new sitcom co-created and written by Freaks & Geeks creator (and Girls producer) Judd Apatow.
A press release describes Love as "an unflinching, hilarious, and excruciatingly honest take on modern relationships." The series will follow Mickey (Gillian Jacobs) and Gus (Paul Rust) as they "navigate the exhilarations and humiliations of intimacy, commitment, and other things they were hoping to avoid."
The 10-episode first season will premiere in 2016. The 12-episode second season will premiere in 2017.
