The Game will always be a show that Tia Mowry is known for. It is her most prominent role outside of her six years starring in Sister,Sister. The show was beloved by fans, and her character was considered the show’s focus. This is why when she left the show after five seasons, it took a hit. Mowry says she quit due to not agreeing with an offer from the show’s executives.

When a new season of The Game arrives on Paramount+, it'll do so with much of the original cast intact. The show, which premiered in 2006 on The CW, moved to BET in 2011 before getting canceled in 2015. The streaming era gave way to Paramount+ green-lighting a 10th season that'll serve as a reboot of sorts, but there will be some very noticeable differences. When The Game debuted, it starred Tia Mowry and Pooch Hall. However, the two left the show after season five, only making a brief reappearance in the last season. When the show picks back up on Paramount+ on Nov. 11, Hall will be back, but Mowry won't.
In The Game, Mowry played Melanie Barnett, a medical student who gave up her chance to attend Johns Hopkins to instead follow her football-playing boyfriend, Derwin, played by Hall, to San Diego. Her character was central to the plot, so much so...
