Apple TV+ Comedy <The Dink> Official Trailer

Official trailer for The Dink, an Apple TV+ sports comedy in which a washed-up tennis pro breaks his vow and takes up pickleball to save a struggling club and win his father's respect. Directed by Jos

The official trailer for Apple TV+’s sports comedy film 「The Dink」 has been released. The trailer centers on Dusty "The Hammer" Boyd (Jake Johnson), a once-successful tennis pro who has now fallen from grace. To save his struggling country club and earn the approval of his father (Ed Harris), Dusty receives an unexpected "prescription" from a doctor played by Ben Stiller. It is the sport he has long considered taboo: pickleball. The doctor calls pickleball "dorky" but also says it is "the fastest way back to tennis," and the trailer shows Dusty swallowing his pride and following the classic underdog sports-comedy arc on the pickleball court.

The cast is an ensemble spanning comedy and drama. In addition to Jake Johnson and Ben Stiller, the lineup includes Mary Steenburgen, Ed Harris, Chloe Fineman, Patton Oswalt, Aaron Chen, Chris Parnell, and Christine Taylor, while tennis stars Andy Roddick and John McEnroe make special appearances in major supporting roles.

The film is directed by Josh Greenbaum, who helmed 「Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar」 and 「Strays」, from a screenplay by Sean Clements. Production was handled by Ben Stiller and John Lesher’s Red Hour Films together with Rob Paris and Mike Witherill’s Rivulet Entertainment, while Apple Original Films acquired the project in August 2025 and is handling distribution.

「The Dink」 was released worldwide on Apple TV+ on July 24, 2026. It has a runtime of 102 minutes.
