After being dropped off the CW schedule earlier this year, despite a petition signed by a million, popular US comedy-drama The Game has been picked up by BET, as confirmed by one of the show’s producers Matthew Cherry on Twitter:

Believe it or not, I have never seen an episode of this show, despite its worldwide popularity – thanks to Youtube. It’s quite rare a cancelled show is recommisioned for new epsiodes on another network, so it’s definitely a great development for the fans of the show.
