In April 2019, fans were introduced to their newest guilty pleasure which left them at the edge of their seats every episode, culminating with the “killer” season one ending. Season two cast members will be announced at a later date.
“BET is home for lovers of black content that engages and entertains, and ‘GAMES PEOPLE PLAY’s first season over-delivered with a plotline that grips from episode one through the finale,” says Scott Mills, President of BET Networks. “Tracey Edmonds, Angela Burt-Murray and Vanessa Middleton have been great partners on GAMES PEOPLE PLAY and we’re proud to continue our relationship, bringing our viewers the compelling programming they expect from our brand.”
