After the network canceled the show last year, BET made a deal with Paramount to develop new episodes based on the crazy series.
A source reveals that “The deal is done between the two networks. Now it’s a matter of getting the actors under contract again.”
And according to the source, the new contracts with the show’s stars will be negotiated within the next two weeks.
Adds the insider, “The show will have the same production value, so the actors will make the same type of money they made when they did ‘The Game’ for The CW.”
We’re thinking they’d want more money!
The only conflict so far is with Coby Bell who’s set to join the cast of USA’s Burn Notice.
Though the source adds, “He will likely still be able to work on ‘The Game,’ but only as a recurring character instead of being a series regular.”
Only all is set, the show will begin production in May.
