"The Game," BET's sports-flavored comedy, will cross the finish line next month with an assist from two MVPs: Tia Mowry-Hardrict and Pooch Hall.
The performers, who were the key leads of the show before departing in 2012, will return for the 90-minute series finale on August 5 to reprise their roles as Melanie Barnett, a doctor who for years put her medical career on hold to support her husband, star receiver Derwin Davis.
Mowry-Hardrict and Hall announced their comeback during a joint appearance at Sunday's BET Awards. The audience greeted the news with cheers.
"I'm so full of emotions," Mara Brock Akil, the show's creator and executive producer, said in an interview.
