Paramount+ Orders LEAGUE OF LEGENDS Esports Series
Paramount+ has ordered a new series called Players from Netflix’s American Vandal creators. Players will be a comedy documentary style series about a group of League of Legends esports players. Here is the official synopsis:
From the Peabody Award-winning creators of “American Vandal,” Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault, PLAYERS is a comedic documentary-style series that follows 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.
Not much else has been announced about the series so far, but the premise has a lot of potential I think given the popularity of shows like Parks and Rec and The Office. I think it could be hilarious if they cast Felicia Day or Terry Crews in some capacity in this series, who do you think would be fun to see appear in this series?
