Reveille LLC Announces Co-Production & Worldwide Distribution Deal With Swedish Television Company

New Reality TV Series Starring Female Video Gamers

BEVERLEY HILLS, California, July 6/PRNewswire/ -- Reveille LLC today announced a deal with the Swedish Television Format Company Bringiton AB, to co-produce & distribute worldwide PLAY US - a unique 12 week reality series starring the all girl video gaming group 'Les Seules'. The group of five Swedish women are world 'e-sports' leaders in a #1 online game, which is played by more than 70 million people globally. Les Seules are already adored by legions of fans around the world and are part of a new phenomenon of female professional gamers. The project has been packaged and is represented by the William Morris Agency. Reveille will now distribute PLAY US both domestically and internationally.

The PLAY US series is more about the dynamic human relationships of gamers than the games themselves. Wherever the all-girl group 'Les Seules' go, their fans are in hot pursuit. Last year, after becoming world leaders for female players, 'Les Seules' received a barrage of publicity in the US and worldwide, including coverage on CNN and appearance on ABC's morning show. However, outside of the world of professional e-sports, they are still relatively unknown. "The TV series PLAY US intends to change all that", said Ben Silverman, CEO for Reveille and producer of hits like The Office, The Biggest Loser and The Restaurant. "In a similar way to making a band, the PLAY US series will take the girls to a totally new level as they transform into the new rock stars of gaming. Les Seules have all the girl power of the Spice Girls combined with all the competitive attitude of professional athletes."

One important difference from previous shows in the reality genre is that PLAY US is a reality series starring people doing what they love. It presents an interesting way to get those who play video games watching television. Audiences will be taken on an exhilarating journey as Les Seules compete for stardom within the professional video gaming scene and beyond. Just like a regular rock group, the girls plan to travel throughout the United States aboard the PLAY US bus. From here, the girls will have to navigate a minefield of not only intense gaming & promotional spin, but also fierce rivalries between male & female gamers as everyone battles it out to be the best!

The members of Les Seules are: Louise Thomsen, 24 (online name Aurora) - the unofficial leader, Thelma Lundin, 21 (Queen) - the competitive player, Sophie Bystrom, 21(Sophie) - the quiet one, Sofi Sandager, 18 (Zelena) - the party girl and Line Marie Haug, 22 (Miss Hyper) - the lively one.

The PLAY US series further highlights the fact that according to a recent survey by Entertainment Software Association, females account for 40% of the people who play video games. "If you thought that gaming was just the domain of male teenagers, then get ready to be proved completely wrong", said Martin Gisselman, Bringiton' s CEO and Executive Producer of PLAY US. "With a gaming industry now worth an estimated 20 billion dollars, and gaming tournaments offering hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money, professional gamers of both sexes command respect of millions of male and female fans around the world and are definitely a force to be reckoned with."

On the nature of the deal between Reveille and Bringiton, Chris Grant, Reveille Vice President of Intl. sales and creative affairs added, "We are very excited to be working with Bringiton, one of the most innovative new format developers on the global scene. We strongly believe in this format and its potential to succeed far beyond the US market".
