What is Challengers about?
Challengers has it all: comedy, drama, sports, romance and multiple high-voltage spicy scenes among the three protagonists. The story primarily revolves around Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach and a force of nature who doesn’t apologize for her game on and off the court.
Married to a champion in a slump, Tashi’s strategy for her husband’s redemption takes a surprising turn when she must confront the struggling Patrick, her former best friend and Tashi’s ex-boyfriend. As their pasts and presents collide, and tensions rise, she must ask herself how much winning will cost.
