The Game is over, for a second time. Paramount+ has cancelled the revival series, so there are no plans for a third season, at least on the streaming service.
A sequel to the original 2006-15 comedy series, The Game was executive produced by original series creator Mara Brock Akil, showrunner and writer Devon Greggory, Salim Akil, and original executive producer Kelsey Grammer and Tom Russo.
The show stars legacy cast members Wendy Raquel Robinson and Hosea Chanchez, with new players Wendy Raquel Robinson, Hosea Chanchez, Adriyan Rae, Vaughn Hebron, and Analisa Velez. The series features a mix of the original cast and new players to offer a modern examination of Black culture through the prism of pro football. The characters tackle racism, sexism, classism, and more as they fight for fame, fortune, respect, and love.
The revival’s first season debuted in October 2021 and ran for ten episodes. It was renewed in February 2022, and the second season ran from December 2022 until February. The nine seasons of the original series wills tay on Paramount+, but CBS Studios will shop the revival elsewhere.
The decision to cut the show is part of the company’s plan to take tax write-offs for underperforming series. Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery have taken similar actions in recent months.
The streamer has also cancelled Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, Queen of the Universe, and Star Trek: Prodigy, and those shows will also be pulled soon. A statement from Paramount+ reads, “We want to extend our thanks to our tremendously talented cast and crew and our producing partners for their passionate work and dedication on these programs, and we wish them all the best on their future endeavors.”
What do you think? Have you watched the reboot of The Game TV series? Are you disappointed that the Paramount+ series won’t be back for a third season on Paramount+?
The game reboot was great but I think the problem why it didn’t do as well. Is because there wasn’t enough relationship Drama and that’s what people want to see and that’s what made it great! I loved the reboot But most people don’t have an open mind or the imagination or intellectual understanding to see where they were trying to go with the show. It was more of the politics of football and people want to see the Back stabbing Relationships and Drama of the show
Hi, and I’ve currently just finished binge watching “The Game” reboot for a few days up until the very last episode of season 2 yesterday on “The Cw” app, and I’m very disappointed and saddened that there won’t be a season 3 after it was just getting good. I’ve enjoyed watching this better than the original too. They’re really bogus for leaving us on a Cliffhanger.♀️ I hope and pray that the producers of this show” bring it back soon. I’ll stay posted on good news about this show and another show “Star” that was originally on the Fox network.
Everytime something is good. They cancel… Sick of this. We need to start boycotting watching these streaming stations.
I agree!♀️
I liked it better then the original. Bring it back
I was very disappointed to find The Game reboot canceled. I liked it better than the original. I was really looking forward to season 3.
Totally left us hanging.
