The CW previously announced a continuation of the series back in 2019 which would also center on a pro football team alongside their wives and girlfriends. “This time, our out-of-touch old-timers are determined to help a bunch of knucklehead new-schoolers navigate the ruthless game of football on and off the field. They will clash through the pitfalls of fame, fortune and love,” The CW’s official description read.

The Game, which is a spinoff of Girlfriends, originally aired on The CW for three seasons. It then moved to BET for six additional seasons, switching its format from a half-hour comedy to an hour-long dramedy and wrapping its final episode in 2015. In addition to Bell and Brandy, the cast also included Tia Mowry, Pooch Hall, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Hosea Sanchez, and Brittany Daniel.
