Console Wars will take place on TV

In 2016, they presented the audience with a series based on the cult comic book "Shepherd", and a year later they paid tribute to the pop culture of the 80s and 90s with exceptional success in the first season of the fantastic comedy "Man of the Future". The success of these TV projects encouraged Seth and Evan to create a mini-series based on Harris's book, rather than trying to squeeze the fascinating story about the battle of the titans of the entertainment industry into the timing of a TV movie.
