What’s This TV Show About?
A BET drama based on the Angela Burt-Murray novel Games Divas Play, Games People Play stars Lauren London, Sarunas J. Jackson, Karen Obilom, Parker McKenna Posey and Jackie Long. The thriller centers on Vanessa King (London). Vanessa married her sweetheart, Marques (Jackson), when he was on the cusp of becoming a professional basketball player. Although he’s now a big star and Vanessa is a loyal wife, she has her doubts sometimes, and Marques isn’t immune to temptation. They’re surrounded by journalists, celebrities, groupies, and jealous old friends, playing a game where staying on top can be murder.

Telly’s Take
Will Games People Play be cancelled or renewed for a second season? The show got off to a positive start but the numbers have fallen quite a bit. BET has very few scripted series so it’s difficult to know what the execs still consider to be a success. Having said that, I think Games People Play will be renewed.
