Paramount+ is getting another series. This time, it’s an esports comedy.
Players, a comedic documentary-style series in the style of The Last Dance, is coming soon to the streaming service. Follow a fictional pro League of Legends esports team as they pursue their first championship after years of close calls and heartache. To win it all, they will need their prodigy, a 17-year-old rookie, and their 27-year-old veteran to put their egos aside and work together.
The series is being produced by CBS Studios in association with Funny Or Die, with Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda (American Vandal) creating and executively producing. In addition, Yacenda will also direct. Funny Or Die’s Joe Farrell and Mike Farah also serve as executive producers alongside Tim McAuliffe, Riot Games, 3Arts’ Ari Lubet, and Brillstein Entertainment Partners’ Todd Sellers.
