NBC will keep chronicling The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins.
The network has renewed Reggie Dinkins, starring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe, for a second season. The pickup comes six days ahead of NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation, which will include NBC’s schedule for the 2026-27 season.
The comedy stars Morgan as the title character, a former football star whose career ended in a gambling scandal. He hires documentarian Arthur Tobin (Radcliffe) to make a film about him in an effort to rehabilitate his image. Erika Alexander, Bobby Moynihan, Precious Way and Jalyn Hall also star; Craig Robinson, Heidi Gardner, Anna Camp, Ronny Chieng and Megan Thee Stallion had guest roles in the first season.
The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins premiered after an NFL playoff game in January and drew a big audience, gathering more than 14 million viewers across platforms to date. The premiere is the most watched comedy telecast of the 2025-26 season. Subsequent episodes didn’t approach that level, but the show performed well enough to earn a second season.
Its pedigree probably didn’t hurt either: Robert Carlock and Sam Means, who worked with Morgan on 30 Rock, created the series and are co-showrunners. They executive produce with Tina Fey (via her Little Stranger company), Morgan, Eric Gurian and David Miner. Universal Television is the studio.
More to come.
