According to Eurweb.com, BET network is still in talks to order a new season of the cancelled CW comedy, thanks to continued lobbying from series creator Mara Brock Akil.
A month before the “Girlfriends” spinoff was axed in May following three seasons, Akil began pitching the CW an hourlong version of the show as a way of to keep it on the network, which had decided to drop all of its half-hour comedies.
When “Game’s” cancellation became official, BET began preliminary talks with producer CBS Studios about possibly taking in the series with new originals. The cable network already runs repeats of both “Game” and “Girlfriends.”
The options on the “Game” actors have lapsed, according to the Hollywood Reporter, so if a deal is reached with BET, CBS Studios would have to create new contracts.
