Get ready for a heartwarming and hilarious journey with “The Underdoggs,” set to premiere exclusively on Prime Video on January 26. This sports comedy, directed by Charles Stone III and penned by Danny Segal & Isaac Schamis, promises to be a delightful watch for audiences around the globe.
“The Underdoggs” follows the life of Jaycen “Two Js” Jennings, portrayed by Snoop Dogg, a former professional football star whose glory days are behind him. After hitting rock bottom, Jaycen is handed a lifeline: community service coaching a rowdy pee-wee football team in his hometown of Long Beach, California. This assignment presents an unexpected chance for Jaycen to repair his tarnished public image and rediscover his passion for football.
As Jaycen takes on the challenge of transforming the foul-mouthed Underdoggs into a formidable team, he not only changes the lives of these young players but also reconnects with his past. He rekindles an old flame and reunites with former teammates, finding redemption and a renewed love for the game.
“The Underdoggs” features a stellar cast including Snoop Dogg, Tika Sumpter, Mike Epps, Andrew Schulz, and George Lopez. Their performances bring to life a story that is as much about football as it is about the human spirit.
Produced by Kenya Barris, Calvin Broadus, Constance Schwartz-Morini, Mychelle Deschamps, and Jonathan Glickman, with music by Joseph Shirley, the film is a collaborative effort of Amazon MGM Studios, Khalabo Ink Society, Death Row Pictures / SMAC Productions, and Panoramic Media Company.
Rated R for its unfiltered humor and mature themes, “The Underdoggs” is more than just a sports comedy—it’s a story of life, laughter, and the unbreakable spirit of underdogs.
