BET has picked up the recently-cancelled CW sitcom The Game, with new episodes expected to begin airing sometime next year. “The show is getting picked up, so for people that have been petitioning and wondering, it is coming back to BET,” actress Drew Sidora spilled to Sister 2 Sister Magazine this week. “So, hopefully, you will see me back. It is official. The deal has been done.”
The Game — a spinoff of the now defunct series Girlfriends — has become a cult favorite among urban audiences since its premiere in 2006. The CW pulled the plug on the show in June.
“Right now, they’re just trying to figure out when it’s going to actually come back, as far as when we start filming the new episodes and things like that,” Drew says. “But BET has picked it up.”

What I want to do is change the perception of me. I am a human being. I’ve made some mistakes in the past, and I wish it had never happened. But it’s not about how you fall, but about how you pick yourself up.”
