The series stars Tracy Morgan as Reggie Dinkins, a former football player whose career and reputation have been badly damaged. Reggie is trying to fix his public image and return to success with the help of an award-winning filmmaker named Arthur Tobin, played by Daniel Radcliffe. As Reggie works on rebuilding his life, he is also forced to face mistakes and problems from his past, which creates both comedy and emotional moments.
The cast of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins includes several well-known actors. Erika Alexander plays Monica, Reggie’s ex-wife, agent, and business manager. The show also stars Bobby Moynihan, Precious Way, and Jalyn Hall. Each character adds humor and depth to Reggie’s journey as he tries to make a comeback in the public eye.
The show will have a special early premiere on Sunday night, airing right after the Rams vs. Bears NFL game. It will then officially return on February 23 at 8 p.m. with a replay of the first episode and a brand-new episode following it. NBC hopes the sports audience will help attract viewers to the new comedy series.
