The highly anticipated comedy series, *The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins*, featuring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe, is set to premiere on NBC on 23 February at 8 p.m. ET. The show is poised to capture the audience’s attention with its engaging storyline and notable cast.
The series follows Morgan in the titular role of Reggie Dinkins, a former football star who has seen better days. Tasked with rehabilitating his tarnished reputation, Reggie embarks on a journey assisted by Arthur Tobin, portrayed by Radcliffe, an award-winning filmmaker documenting Reggie’s comeback. The official plot synopsis suggests that Dinkins will have to face the mistakes of his past to regain the respect and admiration of those around him, including family and fans.
*NBC* has already made headlines by airing the show’s pilot episode early on 18 January, which was strategically placed after an NFL playoff game. This airing attracted an impressive audience of 5.8 million viewers, making it the most-watched comedy series debut for the network since the return of *Night Court* in early 2023.
The ensemble cast of *The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins* includes talented actors such as Erika Alexander, Bobby Moynihan, Precious Way, and Jalyn Hall. The show also features cameo appearances, including a guest spot by the acclaimed rapper Megan Thee Stallion.
The series, produced by iconic comedian Tina Fey, comprises ten episodes, as confirmed by reports in May 2025. Fey has expressed her enthusiasm about collaborating with both Morgan and Radcliffe, highlighting their shared creative vision during filming. She went so far as to send Radcliffe a note post-production stating their newfound “deep understanding” stemming from the experience of working alongside Morgan.
Morgan himself has remarked that working on this show reminds him of his time on the beloved sitcom *30 Rock*, which also featured Fey. He stated his reluctance to see *30 Rock* come to an end but noted that he has since focused on new opportunities without dwelling on the past.
*The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins* will premiere with two episodes airing back-to-back on 23 February, with the first being a repeat of the pilot. The following episodes are scheduled to release weekly every Monday at 8:30 p.m. ET, continuing until the season finale in mid-April.
The confirmed release schedule for the show is as follows:
– 23 February: Pilot & “Nittany Means Big”
– 2 March: “Put it on Your Cabbage!”
For viewers eager to catch the series, *The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins* will be available on NBC, and episodes can also be streamed a day later on Peacock. With its strong cast and engaging premise, this new comedy promises to be a delightful addition to NBC’s programming lineup and may resonate well with both fans of the stars involved and the genre as a whole.
