What happens

The Game is an American comedy-drama television series created by Mara Brock Akil. A spin-off of UPN's Girlfriends, the series premiered on its successor network The CW on October 1, 2006. The show was canceled in May 2009 after three seasons. Viacom's BET Networks struck a deal with CBS Corporation to develop new episodes of the series and moved the taping of the show from Los Angeles to Atlanta, announcing its renewal at the April 2010 upfronts. New seasons began airing on BET starting January 11, 2011, with the fourth season premiere drawing 7.7 million viewers, making it the most watched sitcom premiere in cable television history. The show aired for six seasons on BET, being renewed for its final two in 2014, and concluding its run on August 5, 2015. In May 2021, a revival of the series was ordered by Paramount+ with Robinson and Chanchez returning. The revival series premiered on November 11, 2021, and was renewed for a second season in February 2022. On June 23, 2023, it was announced that the series was canceled after two seasons. On June 26, 2023, The Game was removed from Paramount+. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
