　　"The Squad revolves around a new group of friends (and sometimes enemies) who find companionship and common ground in their mutual love of esports. The potential series explores what it means to finally find 'your tribe' after years of feeling like an outsider."

　　There is no word yet on who else will star in The Squad or when it will be released if it is indeed picked up to series. What is known, however, is that Warner Bros. TV will produce the show for NBC. WBTV also produced the CBS TV show Big Bang Theory, which Galecki starred on for 12 years. That show wrapped up its run in May, finishing as the longest-running multi-cam comedy ever.

　　It is no surprise that established traditional media giants like NBC would get involved with video games, and specifically eSports. The sector of competitive gaming is expected to surpass $1 billion in revenue for the first time in 2019.

　　One of the next video game movies is Free Man, which stars Ryan Reynolds as an NPC who eventually realizes he is in a video game.
