Parking brake not working

I recently replaced my rear pads and rotors, as a result I ended up having to replace my parking brake shoes and hardware. I can no longer get my parking brake to engage. I have adjusted the star nut as well as the adjuster at the hand brake. While adjusting at the hand brake I noticed there is play in the cable running to the driver's side. Is there a way to adjust this cable or will it need to be replaced?
