Chanchez, who earned an NAACP Image Award nomination last year for his performance as quarterbacking football player Malik Wright on The Game, has seen the series gain wider success since moving from the CW to the BET in 2011.

The Game broke records and made history when it premiered on BET in 2011 with 7.7 million viewers tuning in that night, making BET the home of the #1 sitcom debut in the history of cable television.

In 2013, Lauren London and Jay Ellis will be joining the cast, while Brandy will return in her expanded role as Chardonnay, aka Mrs. Jason Pitts along with series favorites Chanchez, Coby Bell and Wendy Raquel Robinson.

BET says season seven will bring even more sexy drama as the cast negotiates the ups and downs of love and football.
