Netflix and Adam Sandler once again have something brewing. 

On Tuesday, the streaming service shared a new trailer for its upcoming LeBron James-produced film, Hustle, starring Sandler as a basketball scout who discovers a potential superstar in Spain, played by real-life NBA player Juancho Hernangómez.

The film is directed by Jeremiah Zagar and was written by Taylor Materne and Will Fetters.

“Love you all,” Sandler wrote on Instagram and Twitter while sharing the new trailer.

Also starring Queen Latifah, Robert Duvall, and Ben Foster, the film sees Sandler as Stanley Sugarman, a scout for the Philadelphia 76ers. Real life Sixers like Tobias Harris, Matisse Thybulle, Tyrese Maxey, and head coach Doc Rivers all make appearances. 

The new trailer features Sandler’s Sugarman admitting that he wants to “coach someday,” and feeling like “nothing” after serving 30 years in the league.

“Being the guy who finds the guy matters in this business,” Sandler’s character says in the clip, as he juggles between supporting his own daughter and helping his fledgling support his own daughter. 

Hustle is just the latest entry in Sandler’s ongoing extensive partnership with Netflix, for which he’s already produced films like Murder Mystery and Hubie Halloween. Sandler and Jennifer Aniston will also be returning to the platform for a sequel to Murder Mystery, with Jeremy Garelick tapped to direct.

Hustle premieres exclusively on Netflix on June 8. Check out the trailer up top.
