A former monument in American cable television, G4 is set to make a comeback next year. Nobody knows how.
Polygon has reported the following:
"G4, the defunct 2002-13 cable network dedicated to tech, gaming and entertainment programming, teased amid Comic-Con@Home that it's returning in 2021, tweeting the tagline "We never stopped playing" on its long-dormant Twitter account. The official Twitter accounts for Attack of the Show! and X-Play, G4’s best-known shows, also posted the same teaser. Olivia Munn, the biggest star to emerge out of G4 as co-host of Attack of the Show!, retweeted the teaser. And former G4 stars Blair Herter and Adam Sessler also retweeted the video, with Sessler commenting: "Well, this is curious turn of events." "The teaser contains few details on the way in which the TV network and/or its signature programming would return," says Susana Polo. "In the one-minute video, a camera pans through a dark warehouse until it comes upon a game of Pong being played on a CRT television. The TV’s screen glitches and displays the words “incoming transmission,” before the camera flies through a very 2009-era animation of zooming through internet wires that eventually resolves to the G4 logo. The year 2021 appears on the screen, followed by the aforementioned tagline." In 2013, G4 was rebranded as Esquire Network, which was shut down in 2017."
