Games People Play has been renewed for a second season at BET, Shadow And Act has learned.

The first season of the show, which is based on Angela Burt-Murray’s book, Games Divas Play, starred Lauren London, Sarunas J. Jackson, Parker McKenna Posey, Karen Obilom and Jackie Long. It followed “a desperate basketball wife trying to protect her family, a tenacious journalist struggling to rebuild a tarnished career, and a scandalous groupie looking to become a  star, who all find it is murder trying to stay on top.”
