If you were excited for The CW’s The Game reboot, well, we have some bad news, it isn’t happening right now.
Per Deadline, “Based on the pilot script by Akil and Greggory, I hear the CW brass made the decision not to move forward with the CBS TV Studios-produced project in its current form but were open to redeveloping it with Akil. I hear Akil, after consideration, declined the redevelopment offer as she and Greggory had executed her vision of what a next chapter of The Game should look like.”
The Game first premiered in 2006 and ended in 2015. The show was created by Mara Brock Akil and was a spin-off of the UPN show Girlfriends. The Game was centered around Derwin “Ding Dong” Davis played by Pooch Hall and Melanie “Med School” Barnett played by Tia Mowry-Hardrict.
In the show, Barnett puts her dreams aside from going to Johns Hopkins Medical school to be with her boyfriend Davis who was a rising star on the football team. In 2009 The Game was canceled from CW and was picked up by BET.
