Nearly two years have passed since "The Game" last aired a new episode. Despite the lapse in time, the series is back and headlining the new BET schedule. For the first time in the network's history, BET will be broadcasting original sitcoms.

"The Game" will be the lead-in to a one hour block which also includes a new sitcom, "Let's Stay Together." After being away for two years, "The Game" has lost a few cast members. The former Los Angles Laker, Rick Fox, will not be on the show.

Earlier, it was said that both Rick Fox and Stacey Dash would be returning to the show. However, after filming the new season, which is only eleven episodes, they were not even mentioned. Fox played himself while Stacey Dash played Coby Bell's love interest.

With two cast members gone, "The Game" has brought in some new characters. Earlier this week, it was announced that Terrence J of BET's "106 & Park" would be on the show. Now, it has been revealed that the new season of "The Game" will also include Meagan Good. Good is best-known for her role in movies, such as Waist Deep, her role in "My Wife and Kids," and also her role opposite 50 Cent in his music video for his hit, "21 Questions."

Meagan Good will play Hosea Chanchez' 'Malik' character's love interest in the 2011 season.
