The first season, '''''Force Grey: Giant Hunters''''', premiered in July 2016 and ties into ''Storm King's Thunder''. The titular team is assembled by the Blackstaff to investigate reports of giants rampaging through Faerun, and in the process they find themselves allying with a metallic dragon and trying to recover an artifact from a long-lost dungeon. The season concluded in December 2016 with '''''Force Grey: The Lost Episode''''', a live show in which Force Grey battled the Zhentarim and [[WebVideo/AcquisitionsIncorporated Dran Enterprises]] in a familiar cloud castle to determine the fate of the Forgotten Realms.

The second season, '''''Force Grey: Lost City of Omu''''', will premiere in July 2017. It ties into the ''Tomb of Annihilation'' storyline and will see Force Grey venture into the jungles of Chult.
