It’s third time’s the charm for The Game as the dramedy starring Hosea Chanchez and Wendy Raquel Robinson nears its premiere on Paramount+, after previous runs on the CW and BET.
During Paramount+’s TCA presentation Tuesday, it was revealed that The Game is set to kick off Thursday, November 11. Showrunner and writer Devon Greggory spoke on the panel about bringing back the Girlfriends spinoff, created by Mara Brock Akil, for a modern-day examination of racism, sexism, classism and more.
“We’re going to come deep with some deep issues because 2021 is different than 2008,” he said.
Instead of San Diego, The Game returns to Las Vegas and centers on Black culture through the prism of pro football. The team will tackle a number of social issues and more as they fight for fame, fortune, respect and love—all while trying to maintain their souls as they each play The Game.
