The Game‘s Brittany Daniel Will Not Return for Paramount+ Revival
Several familiar faces are headed back to The Game, but Tasha Mack’s bestie isn’t one of them.
TVLine has exclusively learned that Brittany Daniel will not be dropping by the Paramount+ revival as previously reported. The actress, who was set to make a special guest appearance as Kelly Pitts, won’t reprise her role this season after welcoming a daughter in October.
“As the wise saying goes, ‘When we make plans, God laughs.’ Our sweet baby came early so Kelly Pitts had to sit this season out. I hope everyone enjoys seeing my dear friends back on the field,” Daniel said in a statement to TVLine.
Showrunner Devon Greggory added, “Although we will miss Brittany and her portrayal of fan favorite Kelly Pitts, we wish her, Adam and baby Hope Rose, all the best.”
Kelly Pitts might be sitting this one out, but her daughter Brittany (played by Adriyan Rae) will still get to see one parent in the revival.
Walker’s Coby Bell, who played the comically frugal ex-footballer Jason Pitts in the original series, is still slated to appear. Perhaps he can help Brittany get her finances straight?
Pooch Hall will also make his way back as Derwin Davis to “really turn things up,” according to Wendy Raquel Robinson, who stars alongside Hosea Chanchez as series OGs Tasha Mack and Malik Wright. Vaughn Hebron, Tim Daly, Analisa Velez and Toby Sandeman also star.
The Game, which is now set in Las Vegas, examines Black culture through a football lens as the show’s main players grapple with “racism, sexism, classism” and more while also fighting for “fame, fortune, respect and love,” per the official synopsis.
The revival is executive-produced by original series creator Mara Brock Akil, showrunner and writer Devon Greggory, Salim Akil, Kelsey Grammer and Tom Russo.
If only there was someone who looks *exactly like her* who they could cast instead…
Lol. Exactly!
I did not think about that 🤣
She does have a twin sister that’s an actress as well and her name is Cynthia Daniel.
You need to bring Melanie back the Mowry twin. Got to have Mel if you’re going to have Darwin
When they said Jason was coming back did they mean that one picture of him in brittany’s condo? bc that’s the only time I recall seeing him.
LOL, Yes her twin, Cynthia will be perfect.
3 in and like McDonald’s
“I’m LOVIN IT!” I purchased the Paramount+ app just to have access to The Game😍 THANKS FOR THE REBOOT❤
Put this on paramount on regular cable. Stop having ppl paid cable for paramount and then extra for paramount plus.
Looking for Tia Mowry-Hardrict (Melanie) to come back I love them all. It’s really not the same without Melanie.
Cuss.
