It’s been announced that Ely Henry has joined the cast of Players, the esports drama series coming soon to Paramount+. Launched by American Vandal co-creators Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault, the series 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.
Henry will play Coach Kyle alongside confirmed series regulars, Da’Jour Jones and Misha Brooks. Additional cast members include Noh Arrow Dong-Hyeon, Michael “Miko” Ahn, and Youngbin Chun. Moses Storm and Alexa Mansour will also be recurring characters in the series.
Players is produced by CBS Studios in association with Funny or Die. Funny or Die’s Joe Farrell and Mike Farah also serve as executive producers alongside Tim McAuliffe, Riot Games, 3Arts’ Ari Lubet, and Brillstein Entertainment Partners’ Todd Sellers.
Henry was previously a series regular on NBC’s Connecting. His additional credits include Smallfoot, Get Shorty, Atypical, Perry Mason, and Roadies.
