Netflix’s The Politician trailer introduces the Election of 2019

Alexander Payne’s 1999 cult comedy Election at last has its modern answer, complete with the over-the-top nonsense of both 2019 politics and executive producer Ryan Murphy.

So you’ll see in the trailer for The Politician, a series about a ridiculously overly-ambitious kid’s class president run against a similarly cutthroat opponent. Theatre (Dear Evan Hansen, The Book of Mormon) and Pitch Perfect actor Ben Platt stars alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Lange, Zoey Deutch, Dylan McDermott, Lucy Boynton, and, apparently, Bob Balaban.

Like another upcoming Election-reminiscent series—the one where Reese Witherspoon is trying to climb the ladder again as a younger upstartThe Politician will stream this fall. It hits Netflix September 27.
