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?
OMG i am sooooo glad it’s coming back! i just have to know what happened with kelly and tash, and jason of course!!! oh Thank you BET! Thank you!!!!
OMG yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i love this show…i really hope all the cast members come back….i cant wait
I would be happy if at least most of the original main characters come back, Melanie, Derwin, Tasha, Kelly, Jason and Malik. I know I will watch, if they all do not return I might watch to see how well the show is put together. Overall i am happy the show is returning.

Yo! It wont be the same if all of the cast members do not come back….I mean, it just would not be the same. Cant have the game without Mel, Derwin, Kelly, Jason, Tasha, Rick Foxx and even Janay and the baby…(which by the way I am so pissed that they named him DJ). That’s for Mel hands down and I guess Malik…Anyway, why wouldnt they all come back? Please guys…all come back!
