This summer, actors and comedians from The Sarah Silverman Program and The Mindy Project congregated at Meltdown Comics in L.A. to play a session of Dungeons & Dragons led by Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, Overwatch). The seven episodes produced and presented by Nerdist earned more than 1.1 million views on YouTube, but the story’s conclusion was left as a cliffhanger. On December 5th, the cast of Force Grey: Giant Hunters gathered again to Mercer’s war-horn call and played D&D in front of a live audience of fans at the historic Egyptian Theater in Los Angeles. Brian Posehn (The Sarah Silverman Program), Utkarsh Ambudkar (The Mindy Project, Pitch Perfect) and Shelby Fero (Emmy Award-winning writer on Robot Chicken), return to reprise their roles from Force Grey: Giant Hunters. Emily V. Gordon, co-writer of the upcoming film The Big Sick and producer of three seasons of The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail on Comedy Central, and Dylan Sprouse of Zack and Cody fame and member of the D&D stream PUGCrawl join the team to take up arms against the giants.
