Netflix Is Bringing Back Classic Black Sitcom ‘The Game S1-3’

Netflix Is Bringing Back Classic Black Sitcom ‘The Game S1-3’. On 29 July, Netflix announced that it licensed seven popular Black sitcoms and one of them is ‘The Game S1-3’.

The Game is an American comedy-drama television series. Mara Brock Akil created the series. Premiering on October 1, 2006, the series debuted as the only new comedy series chosen for The CW’s primetime schedule. Along with Runaway, it was one of only two series on the new network not to be inherited from either of its predecessor networks, The WB and UPN, during the network’s first season. The series is a spin-off of the long-running UPN/CW sitcom Girlfriends.

After three seasons, the series was canceled by The CW in May 2009. BET struck a deal with The Game’s parent company CBS to develop new episodes of the series, relocating taping of the show from Los Angeles to Atlanta, and announcing its renewal at the April 2010 upfronts. The Game returned to the air for a fourth season on 11 January 2011 and brought a record-breaking 7.7 million viewers for the season premiere which made it the most-watched sitcom premiere in cable television history.

On 24 April 2014, BET announced the eighth season renewal of The Game. On 6 October 2014, BET announced that the show had also been renewed for a ninth and final season. The eighth season premiered on 14 January 2015, and the final season premiered on 3 June 2015 and ended on August 5, 2015.
