The series, which is based off Angela Burt-Murray’s popular 2014 novel Games Divas Play, enjoyed a very successful debut season in 2019 starring Lauren London and Insecure actor Sarunas Jackson. The new season will see both actors return in different capacities, but this time around the leading lady will be Claws standout Karrueche Tran, who earlier this year had a historic win at the 2021 Daytime Emmys as the first AAPI-identifying person to win for lead actress in either Daytime or Primetime.
