As “The Game” reboot on Paramount streaming service is gaining attention before its official release date, Tia Mowry, known as “girl Melanie” revealed where she was on possibly joining the cast after her Netflix show, “Family Reunion” is ending.  

“You know what’s so funny? Never say never,” Mowry told Entertainment Tonight. “As it stands for right now, we aren’t in any talks or communication about me coming back to the show. I know it seems kind of weird, because I’m like, the only one.”  

Wendy Raquel Robinson returns as Tasha Mack, who the series this time around seems to be focused on. Hosea Sanchez will reprise his role as Malik Wright, and we’ll get appearances from the original cast throughout the season including Pooch Hall, Colby Bell and Brittany Daniel  

While Mowry did say there are no talks of her currently returning, she did say she loved playing Melanie.  

“And I will say this, if you guys want me on the show, continue to press, press, press the network and we’ll see,” she added.  

The rebooted series is set to premiere on Nov. 11. On the Paramount Plus app.
