‘The Game’ Reboot Is In The Works With Some Original Cast Set To Return

Paramount+ announced that they are bringing backThe Game with some original cast members confirmed to return.

According to the streamer, the reboot will “offer a modern-day examination of Black culture through the prism of pro football. The team will tackle racism, sexism, classism, and more as they fight for fame, fortune, respect, and love—all while trying to maintain their souls as they each play The Game.”

The Game revival will not exactly follow the original. Paramount+ says the location will move from San Diego to Las Vegas. The 10-episode series will feature some original cast members, including Wendy Raquel Robinson (Tasha Mack) and Hosea Chanchez (Malik Wright), as well as new faces.

Mara Brock Akil, the show’s original creator, will executive produce. “Fifteen years ago, I created The Game and am so proud of the success we had and that I was able to create characters and stories that resonated with so many people,” She said in a statement. “I couldn’t be happier about leaving my beloved characters like Tasha Mack and Malik Wright in the hands of Devon, Wendy, and Hosea, who I know will build off of the rich foundation the show has.”
