Alpha and Geek & Sundry have announced that Deborah Ann Woll (Daredevil, True Blood) is set for a new streaming TV series, Relics and Rarities, which will debut early next year on Alpha, the premium subscription service for Geek & Sundry. The show will be a weekly, episodic series delving into the world of tabletop RPGs.

The show will debut in February 2019 and was created in collaboration with Deborah Ann Woll, whose creative vision shaped the series. Woll will serve as both the Dungeon Master and storyteller for each episode, and she will guide a group of adventurers in a race against time to stop an unholy prophecy from being fulfilled. The actions of the adventurers will depend on gameplay. Here’s an official synopsis for the upcoming series:

Set in a mysterious curio shop in the sleepy town of Bellbrook, RELICS AND RARITIES combines gripping storytelling, thrilling gameplay, and a dash of the unknown as the cast complete puzzles, fulfill missions, and wield their chosen relics in a way that fans of RPG shows have never seen, and fans who are not familiar with the RPG format can easily step into. Part procedural, part game, and part graphic adventure, the show is sure to ignite the imaginations of fans across genres.

Woll commented on the upcoming series: “I’m so excited to finally announce my new show, Relics and Rarities. We’ve assembled a stellar creative team, along with amazingly intricate set design, props and puzzles, a hilarious and surprising cast – and an original world and campaign of my own creation. You’ll have to watch to see what tricks I have up my sleeve.”

Legendary Digital Networks SVP of Production and Programming, Jason Corey, added: “Welcoming fans who have not yet experienced collaborative storytelling is an established mission of Geek & Sundry, and partnering with Deborah Ann Woll has been a dream come true for us. We’re thrilled to be able to elevate and broaden the platform for a female Dungeon Master and to expand the fandom for this unique and exciting genre.”

The core cast includes Tommy Walker (Daredevil), Julia Dennis (Lofty Dreams), Jasmine Bhullar, and Xander Jeanneret (Sagas of Sundry), each episode will feature some secret celebrity guests. They will be completing unique missions in the world that Woll has created.
