Paramount+, the streaming service from ViacomCBS, has just released the official trailer for its upcoming revival of the groundbreaking series THE GAME, debuting with a two-part premiere episode on Thursday, Nov. 11. Subsequent episodes of the 10-episode first season will drop weekly on Thursdays, exclusively on Paramount+.
Relocating from San Diego to Sin City, THE GAME returns with a mix of new players and original cast to 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 โ all while trying to maintain their souls as they each play THE GAME.
THE GAME stars Wendy Raquel Robinson (โInsecureโ) as sports agent Tasha Mack; Hosea Chanchez (โBlack Lightningโ) as footballer Malik Wright; Adriyan Rae (โChicago Fireโ) as Brittany Pitts, the daughter of Jason and Kelly Pitts; Vaughn Hebron (โTyler Perryโs The Ovalโ) as Jamison Fields, an undrafted free agent; Analisa Velez (โSneaky Peteโ) as Raquel Navarro, Brittanyโs best friend; and Toby Sandeman (โPower Book III: Raising Kananโ) as Garret Evans, the top football player in the league.
THE GAME is executive produced by original show creator Mara Brock Akil, showrunner and writer Devon Greggory (โAmerican Soulโ), Salim Akil (โBlack Lightningโ), and original executive producer Kelsey Grammer (โGirlfriendsโ) and Tom Russo (โBlack-ishโ) of Grammnet NH Productions. Kevin Bray (โInsecureโ) will direct the first two episodes of the inaugural season. The series is produced by CBS Studios, Akil Productions and Grammnet NH Productions.
All nine seasons of THE GAME, which originally aired on The CW then BET, are also currently available to binge on Paramount+. The series will be distributed internationally by ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group.
