Paramount+ is placing its bets on “The Game,” granting the reboot of the popular series with a second season. Stars Wendy Raquel Robinson, Hosea Chanchez, Adriyan Rae, Vaughn Hebron, Analisa Velez and Toby Sandeman are all expected to return.

In the reboot, viewers are provided with a modern-day examination of Black culture through the prism of pro football. While the team tackles racism, sexism, classism and more as they fight for fame, fortune, respect and love, at its core they work to maintain their souls all while they each play the game.

“With ample humor and heart, Devon Greggory reimagined an iconic series, brought back beloved legacy characters and introduced new fan favorites,” said Nicole Clemens, President, Paramount+ Original Scripted Series, in a statement. “As Tasha Mack says, ‘game recognizes game,’ and audiences continue to discover the series on Paramount+. We look forward to what Devon and his team have in store for us next season on and off the field.”

“The Game” is executive produced by showrunner and writer Devon Greggory, original show creator Mara Brock Akil, Salim Akil, and original executive producer Kelsey Grammer and Tom Russo of Grammnet NH Productions. The series is produced by CBS Studios, Inphiniti Entertainment, Akil Productions and Grammnet NH Productions.

In addition to the 10-episode first season of the reboot, all previous seasons of the original series which aired on The CW and BET are available to binge on Paramount+. Internationally, the series is distributed by ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group.

No word yet on when the new season will debut.
