After having to endure nearly a year of rumors and false hopes, fans of The Game are finally getting the news they’ve been waiting for.
First airing on UPN, The Game began as a spin-off of the long-running comedy, Girlfriends. The series centers around a first year medical student (Tia Mowry) who chooses to follow her pro-football boyfriend (Pooch Hall) to San Diego. Others in the cast include Brittany Daniel, Coby Bell, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Hosea Chanchez, and Barry Floyd.
In September, news surfaced about the show being revived but nothing happened. In October, there were more rumors but still nothing happened. Then, in November, the cast reunited on The Mo’Nique Show. Promos showed the host asking the cast if The Game was coming back but that portion was edited out of the final broadcast without explanation.
Last month, a much stronger rumor about The Game’s return surfaced with the show’s stars insinuating that an actual announcement would be forthcoming.
Today, BET made it official. The Game will be coming back in the last few months of this year.
There’s no definitive word yet on how many episodes have been commissioned or if some or all of the castmembers will return. We’ll keep you posted as details become available.
What do you think? Did you think that this day would ever come? Would you still be happy if all of the actors weren’t able to return?
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! BET FOR BRINGING BACK THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they shouldnt bring the show back, it ended so well, its been like what 2 yrs since its been on, its a bit too late to bring it back!! lame !!
i love that the game is coming back.Thanks bet
I am ecstatic to have this show back. Derwin should not be the father of Janee’s baby.
I AM SUPER EXCITED! YEAH! I watch the reruns over and over again. I am addicted. Can not wait for it’s return. I am like you, I do not want Janee’s baby to be Derwin. The plot thickens!
I am so excited to hear that The Game willbe coming back. I can’t wait. I would be heartbroken if the original cast does not come back. They mesh well together on the show.
I was also upset when Girlfriends canceled, but it did not surprise me because the Toni character added more to the show then others thought. To bad. Don’t change the cast.
The Game has the right ingredients of both writing and casting intertwined with some stiff comedy. Doesn’t matter if your white/black or orange – most can relate to the show. It’s practical and what’s happening in today’s world. I think that the targeted TV audience were never on CW, BET is the right place – ratings will increase. With strategic commercials placements more appealing to the majority group (afro-americans etc.,) more viewers – can only be a plus. Congrats to the BET network on their vision to keep it on air, the petition, the writers for fantastic copy lines and… Read more »
omg!!! i cant wait thank u i love this show its so real THE GAME .AM SUPER EXCITED.
I’m so excited…I was pissed after the last finale when I heard it wasn’t coming back…like how can it not come back after ending like that…MAN!!! But I am happy to say that the news is also posted on their Face-Book so I believe it’s true this time, although I can’t find any sources on BET’s site… well I’m super excited and I can’t wait!!!Oh, and I’m cool with the cast as long as the MAIN characters stay!!!
I love the show The Game. I hope that it really does come back the show was great! Good actors and story lines!
this is the best day ever. I am so glad that it is returning. I really want all of the characters back but if we had to lose anyone i would say farewell to punk ass chauncy, poochie, and camile,stacy dash.. jason and kelly dont have to be married but if stacy is going to hurt the filming budget then she can go.. Again,I am a GAME fanatic and i cant wait… YAY!!!
LOL- I’m fine w/ the character Chauncy and Stacy Dash being gone too if it would help the budget, but “Poochie”? Are you referring to Pooch Hall, who plays Derwin? Definitely wouldn’t want the show to lose him.
If we have to put up with all this reality show crap…then why cant we atleast have back one good Black sitcom on tv…no one cares about gossip girl and all these rich white little spoiled children…no disrespect but how manyof us live those lives and can relate we are forced to watch it…im thrilleed for it to come back a show that finally makes sense
Im Super excited that THE GAME is coming back on. I am the biggest fan… I just hope this is true and not false news like last year….
Have you ever even watched “The Game”? What makes it crap? And if you want Ugly Betty to come back, you should start a petition. That’s how the “Game” has come back. Also, because of its strong following after it cancelled on the CW and moved to BET. There are not that many predominantly black, scripted shows on television, so it is a great thing for television to have more diversity.
it’s the final minutes before the betty finale.
please explain to me why crap like this is coming back.
but poor betty has to go away with her manolos tucked out.
I always knew that if My name is Earl wouldn’t come back in syndication, then The Game would still have a chance.
