Will you take that bet?
Wesley Snipes stars alongside Philip Winchester in a new NBC drama-thriller called The Player, the story of a former military operative-turned-security expert who is drawn into a high-stakes game where an organization of wealthy individuals gamble on his ability to stop the biggest crimes imaginable.
The series written by John Rogers and comes from the team behind NBC’s The Blacklist, so you can probably expect it to have a similar style. The show was apparently an early favourite through pilot season and a change with the main character was made from playing a sniper to a security expert.
Given that The Blacklist has been NBC’s biggest show in recent years, we can probably expect The Player to embrace that show’s format – i.e., bad guy of the week episodes over a season-long storyline. A vital key to The Player‘ success will be how well it can draw inspiration from shows in the same vein, and what new and distinct elements it will bring to the table.
The Players will air this fall 2015.
