Netflix posted a series of first-look photos Wednesday on Twitter. The pictures show Iglesias in character as the good-natured teacher.

“If Gabriel Iglesias hadn’t become a stand-up comic, he would have been a history teacher — so we gave him a chance to live out that alternate reality with ‘Mr. Iglesias,’ a new comedy series premiering June 21,” the post reads.
