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?
I am so excited about the return of my favorite tv show of all time! Have every episode multiple times. I hope that Melanie and Derwin’s marriage will last. The weakness of the show is what hooked me. I would love to see a young couple that struggles but prays and stays together…that does happen. I also hope that everyone tunes in faithfully so this cancellation business is a thing of the past! Much love to the cast, writers, producers, and BET!!!
I too also looooooove this show and was ill when I found out that there would not be another episode/season. With the news of its coming back, I am not totally sure that it would be the same if all of the same cast were not coming back; however, I am definitely giving the show a chance because after all it was my favorite show!
OMG! I have been waiting for this moment…..This is my favorite show EVER! lol…..I watched the reruns over and over again on BET. I hope all the cast returns because they already have the right formula. I would like to see Melanie and Derwin make it, but then the show would be too perfect and it definitely needs drama. YAY!
I am SO EXCITED THE show is coming back. I have watched every season at least 4 times now and i’m always left hanging after Derwin and Melanie got married. There had to be more to come. FINALLY, it’s coming. I can’t wait..Yeahhhhhhh…
I was very upset when I hread that the show was canceled. But I would be more upset to find out that all of the cast is not coming back. Everyone on there set each other off and to me they made great connections in a way that no new member would do, plus I am use to everyone and thats who I am looking for everyone. All of them kept it real I love Wendy and Hosea they were the best. The drama that Tia and Poocha had may my day and also help me with mine and what… Read more »
I WOULD HATE TO SEE A NEW CAST…… i promise you, it won’t feel the same. The cast became like family and friends to my whole household….lol. I would still watch to see if it still has the same effect on me, as far as the laughing and the tears. We have an emotional attachment to the old cast….So, we’ll see!!!
I am soooooooooooo happy the game is coming back! Not enough black shows!
I’m so happy that they’ve finally decided to bring this show back, although I won’t rest easy until I actually see the new episode aired. I also hope they bring back the full cast because they are the ones that really make this show great but even if they don’t I’ll still watch The Game!
