The rise of esports continues and competitive gaming is beginning to seep further into pop culture with the news that Big Bang Theory pair Johnny Galecki and Anthony Del Broccolo are teaming up with NBC for a new show about esports called The Squad.
According to Variety, a multi-camera comedy (think sitcoms like Friends and the aforementioned Big Bang Theory) is in development and will focus on a group of friends and sometimes frenemies that come together over their love of esports and competitive gaming.
Galecki, who played Leonard in Big Bang Theory, is the project's executive producer (under his Alcide Bava label), and is joined on the project by fellow BBT alumni, writer Anthony Del Broccolo. Warner Bros. will serve as the studio.
