Dan Harmon, creator of Rick and Morty and showrunner on Community, and his production company Starburns Industries is bringing a new scripted show to YouTube Red that’s focused on an eSports team ‘trying to make it to the top of the cutthroat world of competitive gaming.’
Harmon will act as executive producer on this new series, Good Game, with YouTubers Arin Hanson and Dan Avidan from Game Grumps starring as the eSports players in question.
YouTube Red, for those that may not know, is YouTube’s paid subscription service that allows users to play videos without ads, and gain access to ad-free music on Google Play, and of course, watch a number of original shows like Good Game that are not available anywhere else.
While the service hasn’t exactly taken off in a huge way since its inception in late 2015, the announcement of a show from Dan Harmon that really taps into video game culture may catch on. You can check out a sizzle reel of all the things coming to YouTube Red in 2017 below.
Good Game kicks off on August 30 on YouTube Red.
