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 really liked The Game. In the last show, we saw Jason leaving the courthouse with his new girlfiend, Tasha and Rick reuniting,, the birth of Derwin’s baby and Derwin and “girl” Melanie got married. WOW–lots of new story lines here! I do want to see the original cast. Melanie and Derwin, Jason, Kelly and Camille (love triangle), Malik, Tasha and Rick. Oh yes, we must see Malik’s “associate” Te Te. If cuts have to be made, dont show Derwin with all the groupies, pole dancers and the like–Derwin was just too promiscuous.
I am truly a fan. I am happy as hell. I truly hope the original cast will return. Most of all Melody and Derwin, and all Everyone made the show. Kelly and Tasha Mack too cute. Bring my show back.
I AM SOO EXCITED THAT THE GAME IS COMING BACK ON TV. I’VE BEEN KEEPING UP WITH IT SINCE IT FIRST AIRED ON THE CW. I HEARD SOME NEWS SAYING ALL CAST MEMBERS WILL RETURN BUT JASON PITTS WILL NOT BE THERE FULLTIME BECAUSE HE WAS PICKED UP BY ANOTHER FAVORITE SHOW OF MINE ON USA ‘BURN NOTICE’ CAN’T WAIT TIL 4TH QUARTER. BY THE WAY WHEN DOES 4TH QUARTER START? OCTOBER?
im so happy to knw the show is returning. i hope everyone returns. i cant wait!
im happy that the game coming back but i hope they make it where all the ******** stops between everyone.
All of the characters need to come back to make the fall season a success…each actor’s role fitted that character they played. So please don’t half step on this most talked about show.
Yea…..The game!
im so happy 2 hav new episodes…i love dis show onlytill bet started showin it….
I love to love the game. Its so surreal. I’ve seen every episode and can’t wait for the new ones, has to be all the same cast or it just wouldn’t be right I strongly think.
Happy days are here again!!!! So happy to hear that The Game will be returning. Aslo grateful that BET picked it up. Unforunately, I will not be able to view it because we live in Traverse city MI. population 95% white. They dont carry BET on their cable network here. I know…that is just sad. But! we will be moving soon, to a state where we can enjoy BET, be reunited with THE GAME, and all the other wondeful shows that we have been deprived of.
I too absolutely love the show!!!!! Im happy to hear that BET is picking it up, but sad as well because I live in a 95% white city in MI, and they dont provide BET on their cable network.. My husband and I think that this is just sad. But we will be moving soon, to a state that does have BET as one of their cable listings. And I will be reunited with one of my favorite shows. The Game.
OMG!!! is right. This is my favorite show and I wouldn’t miss an episode. I started watching it on the CW and was addicted. This is the best show EVER!!! So real life. Can’t wait to watch.
I can’t wait!!! The show must have the Pitts, Derwin, Melanie, Malik and it just wouldn’t be the same without Tasha Mack
i caught the show by accident and became addicted and then the show was gone…omg i really hope this is true and with all the original cast love love love this show
I am so happy to hear The Game is coming back. I didn’t begin to watch it until BET picked it up. I didn’t even know it existed before then, that may have been the problem with other networks. I am completely hooked and looking forward to the return!
