The revival series premiered on November 11, 2021. In May 2021, a revival of the series was ordered by Paramount+ with Robinson, and Chanchez, returning. The show would air for six seasons on BET, being renewed for its final two in 2014, and concluding its run on August 5, 2015.
New seasons began airing on BET starting January 11, 2011, with the fourth season premiere drawing 7.7 million viewers, making it the most watched sitcom premiere in cable television history. Viacom's BET Networks would strike a deal with CBS Corporation to develop new episodes of the series, relocating taping of the show from Los Angeles to Atlanta, and announcing its renewal at the April 2010 upfronts. The series was canceled in May 2009 after three seasons. A spin-off of UPN's Girlfriends, the series premiered on its successor, The CW, on October 1, 2006. Zach Shakked did not respond to request for comment.The Game is an American television series created by Mara Brock Akil. “I’ll go back to creating apps based on my completely, evergreen, original ideas and never fuck with anything remotely like this again,” Shakked’s thread concludes.
The aftermath of the blowback seems to have soured Shakked (who had previously complained on Twitter about how “hameless copy/pasting ideas/features will get you nowhere”) on the idea of copycat apps in the future. “It’s not trying to do anything shady with your data or your eyeballs. “I think people kind of appreciate that there’s this thing online that’s just fun,” Wardle said. Wardle, for what it’s worth, has already been extremely clear about the idea of monetizing Wordle (which, as he explained in a New York Times interview, was originally created as a gift for his partner). Shakked also claims that he told Wardle that he would “consider changing the name” before the app was removed entirely.

In a separate thread, Shakked also says that he spoke to Wardle and offered to license the idea, work together to develop an official app, or pay him a percentage of any profit, which Wardle reportedly declined. (Incidentally, the other Wordles appear to be greatly benefiting from Wardle’s game’s success, with both apps rocketing up the App Store charts). Currently, there are only two puzzle games called “Wordle” left on Apple’s storefront, both of which offer very different types of word games than Wardle’s viral hit and which predate the web app by a number of years. Shortly after reports of Wordle knockoffs broke, Apple leapt into action, removing the offending apps from the App Store last night. Shakked’s tweets also rubbed many the wrong way, boasting about how many downloads and subscription trials his app was getting and how it was “going to the fucking moon.” Shakked’s clone (called “Wordle – The App”) was one of the more high-profile copies, thanks to the developer’s celebratory tweets about the project and the eyebrow-raising price tag - an optional $30-per-year annual subscription that would allow players to play an unlimited number of puzzles, instead of Wordle’s one-per-day system.

The original game is completely free and solely played through a web browser, leaving an opportunity for any number of copycats to try and make a quick buck off the concept on the App Store. Wordle has skyrocketed to popularity over the past several weeks, with its minimalist design, bite-sized daily puzzles, and the now-iconic grids of grey, yellow, and green squares. B) Wordle the word isn't trademarked and there's a bunch of other unrelated word apps named the same thingĬ) Wow, I'll hack together something on the weekend and see if I can make a buck- Zach January 12, 2022
