Curry stars alongside Adam Pally and Ego Nwodim in the new Peacock comedy Mr. Throwback , which will premiere Thursday, Aug. 8 on the streamer, TVLine has learned. Peacock has also unveiled a trailer for the series — which you can watch above — with Curry playing himself and Pally playing his sixth-grade teammate Danny Grossman, who’s fallen on hard times since his basketball glory days.

In the trailer, Curry raves about how great a player Danny was back in the day: “Danny was so good, I was his backup.” But Danny’s career didn’t blossom like Curry’s did, and now Danny is just a sports memorabilia dealer who no one even remembers. Curry wants to help him kick-start his redemption arc, though: “Let’s do a documentary on it!” So Danny follows Curry onto private jets where he sips “placenta-ritas” (ew) and onto high-end golf courses where he… serves as Curry’s caddy. And what’s this big secret that Danny is hiding, hmmm?
