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?
what would be great is if Janey chose not to be a mom…. and BOUNCED!!! left Mel and Derwin to be momma and daddy….. Tasha and Rick reunite, Kelly gets her man and tells ole girl to hit the curb, and she ends up with Malikk!!! now thats a twist I could live with!!! lol
I’ve been waiting for the show to come back on but I would hope that all the casts return because it wouldn’t be the same without all the casts returning I like them all for their own reasons. There’s so much that has went on I’m dying 2 see what will happen next. From derwin and Melanie aka med school getting married and now a new baby is in their life. Jason and kelly are they really finally over because Tasha really hooked him up with Ms. Dash and Tasha is no longer friends with Kelly but “Rick Fox” showed… Read more »
I am up dong my happy dance…I am over joyed that “The Game” is coming back! I can’t wait to see all the players in the place!!!!
I think it would be a great thing for the show to return. What would be even better is if DJ was not Derwin’s son. I do not like the strain that Janey put on their relationship.
SO HAPPY TO HERE THA GAME IS COMIN BAC ON CAN’T WAIT UNTIL IT DO I GOT MY DVR READY
OMG! Finally, and I can’t wait! I am sooooooo excited for everyone involved with the show and for the fans (like myself) of the show, I don’t think I could have withstood another false alarm. This has to be the best decision BET has ever made, and it totally makes up for BET getting rid of BET Uncut late night videos, I take back every ill thing I ever said, lol.
Can’t wait to watch the new episodes of the Game… deuces!!!!
I love the game. I think it should be good for a few more seasons. This is everyday life drama and how the handle or do not handle a situation may actually hit home for those who may be going through similar events in their lives.
I’m soooo excited about the news!!! I love the show and the characters! I hope all the characters return.
I love this show. Great actors and a very energizing cast. Watching the marathon on BET today. Not a BET fan, but if they bring this show back, I will definately respect their programming efforts.
Watching rerun episodes now. Absolutely LOOOVE this show. It will be the BEST move BET has ever made. This is the best written, best cast and best adult realistic sitcom show I have ever watched. The original writers, producers and cast definately need to turn!!!!!!!! Can’t wait for the new season!!!!!!!!
Thank God!!!!! Its finally back. BET has enough money to produce at least 4 seasons. Look how much the play the old seasons. They can afford at least 4 seasons. Let them give up half of their paycheck to produce 4 seasons.
I really am happy for the show, i also strogly believe that the show should keep the same cast as before to keep the essence. I CANNOT WAIT !
YAYY! I can’t wait for THE GAME to come back with some new shows with the same cast! YAYY!!
I am so hyped that BET decided to
pick up the best tv sitcom ever. I fell in love with Derwin sand Melanie’s relationship because of the genuine passion each actor has for one another.I know that the show cannot last forever but the GAME sitcom deserves better than what they received
Hey third girl:
I’m very hyped about the decision too. I love Derwin and Melanie’s relationship as well as Jason and Kelly’s, and life without Tosha, Malikk and TT is unique. They are the show. I know what you mean about the show deserving more than what they actually received. That’s all I do is watch the re-runs hoping to see a new episode. deuces.
