QuoteIt looks like it's playtime once again for 'The Game.'
Because, according to a new report, the hit show is being revived at its original network.
Full story below...
Deadline has revealed that the show's creator Mara Brock Akil has teamed with 'American Soul's Anthony Gregory to breathe life anew into 'The Game.'
Word is that plans are place for the title to return to The CW, where it launched in 2006 and ran for three seasons.
At the time of its initial end, the football sitcom was a ratings hit, but suffered the fate of many popular Afro-American shows when The CW drove away from the sitcom format.
Uniquely, this latest resurrection would serve as the second revival of the series – which, after ample fan campaigning, was re-launched in a big way on BET in 2011. A station it called home for another six seasons.
As for what viewers can expect from the incoming incarnation of 'The Game'?
Well, first thing's first, it's being re-tooled as one-hour per episode show. A move believed to help fill the void left by the end of several of the network's key female-focussed hour-long sitcoms. Namely 'Jane the Virgin' and 'Crazy Ex Girlfriend.'
As for the narrative, it will see the action shift to the East coast and rope in some of the original cast – which, initially was anchored by the likes of Wendy Raquel Robinson, Tia Mowry, Hosea Chanchez, and Pooch Hall.
A synopsis of the new story reads: "This time, our out-of-touch old-timers are determined to help a bunch of knuckle-head new-schoolers navigate the ruthless game of football on and off the field. They will clash through the pitfalls of fame, fortune and love. Some will win, others will lose, but that's what happens when you play The Game."
The news ought to delight many who've been calling for reboots of a number of Akil's notable franchises, such as 'The Game' and 'Girlfriends.'
It also fits in the mix of revivals both airing and cooking at The CW ('Charmed,' 'Dynasty,' 'LA Complex' and more).
:uhh:
Where tf is the girlfriends reboot
:disgusted:
Wait...I'm ready
I hope Brandy don't return for this reboot
Not thrilled about this one at all.
Guaranteed Chardonnay is back and the album is postponed
Does this mean Brandy is returning?
They need to let this one go. It's ran it's course.
Damn there really are no jobs in Hollywood for the black actors.
Remember he left Brandy and said he was in love with Britney his ex wife.
j
OMG Brandy wouldn't DARE
Brandy would jump at the opportunity to return only to postpone the album for another 3-4 years.
Like the first 300 iterations of this damn show was TRASH
Leave it alone by now! I'm sick of it!

Also doesnt tia have a show on Netflix now ? Was it cancelled?
I loved this show, but the CW isn't known for comedies, right? Not sure how this will play with that audience.

They will need a supporting cast ... brandy is FRESH off the cancellation of STAR and needing a reason to delay the album more.

If they are gonna reboot it, they should've kept it on BET tbh at this point.... bringing it back to CW makes it even more of a ki. ALL of this just sounds a MESS
I really didn't care for Brandy character on The Game and felt she wasn't needed. But Zoe Ever After was good as hell and it was her and she was herself. Remind me of Moesha a lot. They should bring that back because that show would be legendary.

Alright now. You are just pushing it :plzstop:
How?
Cause I like Zoe better?
No. It's fine you like Zoe more, but unfortunately that show wont ever be thought of on TV ever again.
Yea, Zoe could've been next to Blackish by now. New age Sex and the City. BET was onto something
Never say never. Whoever thought The Game would come back? See..lol
These old ass football players. I'm guessing the show would be based on their life after retirement.

It says new youngins will be on as well. Hopefully better than Lauren London and Jay Ellis. That was absolutely terrible
So many people are actually rooting for THE GAME. It clearly has some kind of staying power seeing that it's coming back for a THIRD time.
I doubt many if not only you are itching for Zoe to return. Hell Brandy probably mentally threw that moment in the recycle bin and emptied it.

The Game really wasn't good anymore. All the new characters was just useless. Even London and Blu (Sexy self) brought nothing to it. I think it was the writers.

Clearly I read that, that's why I posted it. I'm saying I wouldn't want her back if it's going to postpone the album.
Yeah I need Kelly & Tasha back perched with the Sunbeams
Bring Jazz's slutty ass back too :dead:
If she was asked..... she's coming. I don't see her being asked back though. No shade
Maybe a pop up mess, here n there.
But we forgot about the Moesha reboot

I only need Tasha, Kelly, & Jason from the original cast.
Melanie & Derwin can be recurring, with the others making cameos here & there.
Shit, bring Toni Childs on too since the shows are connected. Have her in a relationship with a head coach & bumping heads with Tasha.

If it's just the original 6 cast members then good.

Mel and Der are the show that's why it flopped once they left.
Hopefully Tia is Slim and This this show. It's painful to watch her Lizzoing around on Family Reunion.

Hell, get a check then Brandy. I'm not opposed to her being included in this, if possible. I didn't like how they lazily ended her arc. The album is nowhere in sight as far as I'm concerned.

Like.... the show just ended 4 years ago. Can we get to the new decade at least?
Queen stays with a gig. No wonder she was melting that baby weight so she can get back to looking like Melanie Barnett-Davis again. :ohwow:
