NBC Renews ‘The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins’ for Season 2

NBC moves to lock in a ratings bright spot ahead of its May 11 upfront.

Overview

  • NBC announced the renewal on Tuesday for the 2026–27 TV season, positioning the Tracy Morgan comedy ahead of the network’s May 11 upfront.
  • The Jan. 18 premiere drew more than 14 million viewers across platforms, which NBC says made it the most-watched comedy telecast of the season and the top new comedy in adults 18–49.
  • Deadline reports, citing unnamed sources, that Season 2 is expected to run 10 episodes.
  • The series follows a disgraced ex-football star trying to rehab his image through a filmmaker’s lens, with Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe leading a cast that includes Erika Alexander, Bobby Moynihan, Precious Way, and Jalyn Hall.
  • Creators Robert Carlock and Sam Means serve as co-showrunners with executive producer Tina Fey, and the pickup comes as NBC cancels Stumble and Brilliant Minds while leaving Law & Order and The Hunting Party pending.
