As such, "Friends from College" will be a comedic exploration of old friendships, former romantic connections, and the adventure of balancing adult life with the nostalgic taste for the past.
The series is executive produced by Nicholas Stoller, who previously worked on films such as "Neighbors" and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." He also directed all eight episodes of the series. Francesca Delbanco, on the other hand, serves as an executive producer and writer.
"Nick is a comedic mastermind. With 'Friends from College,' he and Francesca have created a world that is both moving and very, very funny. We are thrilled to be working with them and this incredible cast, and look forward to audiences around the world laughing with and at these relatable characters," Cindy Holland, Netflix Vice President of Original Content, said in a statement, according to IndieWire.
The new teaser trailer released by Netflix to promote the upcoming comedy series features a first look at the cast members. The group appears to have unsuccessfully moved on from their college days, as they are seen having the time of their lives doing drugs, sketching out ideas with permanent markers, and throwing pizza at the wall.
"Friends from College" is scheduled to debut on Netflix on July 14.
