Legion M and podcast and media company QCODE have teamed up to create a fan-driven partnership that will bring a highly engaged and passionate audience to the critically-acclaimed supernatural podcast series The Left Right Game starring and co-produced by Tessa Thompson (Westworld, Creed, Avengers: Endgame).  

Mobilizing its community of more than 100,000 members, Legion M has the unique ability to harness the power of fandom to introduce new audiences to exciting, ground-breaking entertainment franchises like The Left Right Game, which Amazon Studios is developing as a TV series, and grow their audiences incrementally through innovative grassroots, social media and digital marketing campaigns. Legion M is receiving an “association with” credit for the podcast series, the first in its new relationship with series executive producers Rob Herting and David Henning from QCODE and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Fred Berger and Justin Levy of Automatik.

“We were absolutely hooked from the first episode of The Left Right Game and are thrilled to be locking arms with QCODE Media to share this incredible series with the impassioned audience it deserves,” said Paul Scanlan, CEO of Legion M.

“We at QCODE are excited to align with the Legion M community and bring a level of audience engagement to The Left Right Game that content producers only dream about,” said QCODE’S Rob Herting.

Scanlan added, “The potential of The Left Right Game becoming an Amazon television series also excited us, and we’re eager to establish this moment as a launching point for future series development opportunities with QCODE and Automatik.” 

Released weekly on Mondays through May 25 on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts and other leading podcast platforms, The Left Right Game follows idealistic journalist Alice Sharman (Thompson) trying to make a name for herself by following a group of paranormal explorers, obsessed with a seemingly harmless pastime known as the Left/Right Game. The journey takes her into a supernatural world that she and other members of the expedition cannot handle. Or survive.

QCODE Media has also named Legion M its official licensing partner for The Left Right Game. Legion M will begin producing exclusive merchandise based on the podcast, available soon at shop.legionm.com
