Celine Song, writer-director of 'Past Lives' and 'Materialists,' is developing an HBO drama series set in the world of e-sports.
Materialists follows a matchmaker named Lucy (Dakota Johnson) as she meets Harry (Pedro Pascal), a rich man who is working to woo her, and runs into John (Chris Evans), a very important person from her past.
