BET lands a Deal to revive "The Game"

Around this time last year, BET began recording record ratings. The month prior, the network had acquired the syndication rights to the first and second season of "The Game." At the time, the show was airing its third season on The CW. Despite the popularity of the series, it was cancelled at the end of the season.

Throughout the summer of 2009, there was speculation about "The Game" airing a fourth season on BET. Each time that the network would be contacted by the fans, they would say that negotiations were still going on. Then, a major breakthrough came when Drew Sidora, a recurring character on the show, announced that it had been picked up by BET.

The news was confirmed by the likes of S2S and other credible media outlets, then the entire cast reunited to begin filming in Atlanta. However, that would be a major let down as it was revealed that they had reunited to film an episode of "The Mo'Nique Show." BET promoted the episode with Mo'Nique asking the question about "The Game" returning for a fourth season. An answer was given, but BET made sure that part was edited out of the episode. Watching the behind-the-scenes on BET.com shows Mo'Nique talking with Tia Mowry about assisting her during the fourth season of "The Game."

Later, Tia Mowry would be asked about a fourth season of "The Game" and she said that the show would not be returning for another season. Not only did she say that the show was over, but she said that the set and most of the props had already been taken down. There has been no talk about "The Game" for the past six months, but recently, rumors have circulated about BET reaching a deal to bring the show back for another season. While the show will return, they were unable to retain all of the characters on the show. No word has been given, but Pooch Hall is already starring on a new sitcom, "Accidentially on Purpose," which airs on CBS.
