NBC gives Reggie Dinkins another shot with season two renewal

Reggie Dinkins has yet to reach the bottom or the top and is getting another season to figure it out. Per The Hollywood Reporter, The Rise And Fall Of Reggie Dinkins, Tracy Morgan’s sports sitcom about the titular ex-pro football star’s comeback, is coming back for another season. The series debuted earlier this year and scored the most-watched comedy telecast of the season, thanks to the 5.8 million people who stuck around after a January NFL playoff game to watch the premiere. Ratings have since leveled off, but the show, created by Morgan’s old 30 Rock buddies Robert Carlock and Sam Means, has maintained solid reviews throughout its initial run. 

Reggie Dinkins stars Morgan as a washed-up sports star who stages a comeback via the celebrity documentary industrial complex. Dinkins hires Arthur Tobin (Daniel Radcliffe) to direct the documentary and rehab his image, but Dinkins keeps doing Tracy Morgan stuff and blowing it. The series co-stars Erika Alexander, Bobby Moynihan, Precious Way, and Jalyn Hall. It also enjoyed guest turns from Craig Robinson, Anna Camp, Heidi Gardner, Ronny Chieng, Corbin Bernsen, and Megan Thee Stallion as a divorced mailperson who won’t stop hitting on Radcliffe.
