ComingSoon is debuting an exclusive trailer for The Game, the upcoming comedy series directed by Amanda Sonnenschein. The pilot episode will be released this winter, while additional episodes will be filmed in the near future.
“The Game is an ensemble adventure-fantasy comedy series that initially follows Brandon Wynter, a child prodigy who published a fantasy novel at age 15 and then dwindled into obscurity,” reads The Game‘s synopsis. “Now in his late 20s and fresh from a painful breakup, he puts out a Craigslist ad in a desperate attempt to find fellow tabletop role-playing nerds. When five people respond, Brandon gets the group together to play, hoping to lead a one-time game without too much fuss. However, the players are full of questions and opinions, and the curmudgeonly game master gets more than he bargained for. We follow the players both IRL and as their fantasy counterparts in the supernatural realm as they embark on a daring and heartfelt journey towards understanding and acceptance of one another and, most importantly, of themselves.”
The Game is directed and produced by Amanda Sonnenschein and written/created by Lauren Henning and Matt Curtin. It stars Matt Curtin, Lauren Henning, Réchard François, Maggie Jorgenson, Amber Li, and Garth Sodetani. Henning, Curtin, and Jorgensen also serve as series producers. The pilot episode will be released this winter, while additional episodes will be filmed in the near future.
