Netflix's 'Turn Up Charlie': Release date, cast, plot and everything you need to know about Idris Elba's upcoming comedy

Idris Elba is all set to play a struggling DJ who gets an unexpected second chance in the most unexpected way

The 'Luther' star is set to take on a refreshing comedic role as a "manny" in Netflix's upcoming comedy 'Turn Up Charlie,' and what we know for sure is that it is going to be lit. The official trailer dropped recently and runs almost parallel to Idris Elba's real life except for the fact that the "sexiest man alive," is actually a famous DJ IRL as opposed to his on-screen character, Charlie, who is a struggling one. It should be interesting to see the 46-year-old actor trade his macho roles for that of a "manny" trying to tame a Hollywood brat.

Here's everything you need to know about the highly anticipated sit-com.
