In a trailer for season two, we see “Games People Play” newbie Eden Lazlo [Karrueche Tran] getting hot and heavy with Marques King [Sarunas Jackson] despite Vanessa King [Lauren London]already being Marques’ Queen, Nia Bullock [Karen Obilom] having a hard time after her bestie Marquis MJ Jackson [Kendall Kyndall] apparently shares some shocking news and Kareem Johnson [Jackie Long] enjoying some stripper cake clapping.

The second season of “Games People Play” premieres Tuesday, October 19, at 10 PM ET/PT.
