The lights are already out on Cam Newton’s “106 & Sports.” BET+ has cancelled the show after a single eight-episode run, closing the chapter on the sports-centered reboot connected to the legacy of “106 & Park.”
The series, led by Newton, a former NFL MVP alongside sports analyst Ashley Nicole Moss, debuted on October 15, 2025, and filmed at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta. In a statement to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the network confirmed it “will not produce additional seasons of ‘106 & Sports.’ The previous season will continue to live across BET platforms.”
While the network did not share ratings details, an unknown number of contractors who worked on the production lost their jobs as part of the show’s ending, according to those familiar with the situation. The series had a sizable behind-the-scenes crew supporting each taping.
Moss addressed the cancellation directly on Twitter, writing, “had the best time working on this show, and I’m sad we won’t be continuing it…for this NY girl, it was truly a dream come true to be part of this brand. I wish Cam well in all he does & I hope that everyone behind the scenes find new homes — they were truly the best! xo”

The concept aimed to mix sports debates with conversations connected to culture, hoping to tap into the nostalgia that once powered 106 & Park. Tiffany Lea Williams, BET’s vice president of unscripted programming and development, previously said, “Filming in Atlanta made sense for this chapter. The city’s HBCU roots and vibrant Black creative community added an authenticity and energy that helped define the launch.”
For now, “106 & Sports” joins the growing list of short-lived reboots that could not quite recreate the magic.
