NBC Gives Series Order To Tracy Morgan Comedy Pilot Executive Produced By Tina Fey For 2025-26


NBC has picked up the single-camera Tracy Morgan comedy pilot, also starring Daniel Radcliffe, to series titled 'The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins'.

It could debut as soon as November, Steven Kern, SVP Program Planning & Scheduling, NBCUniversal Entertainment, indicated during a pre-upfront press call Saturday. The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins as well as NBC’s two other comedy pilots which have not been filmed yet, Stumble, from Jeff and Liz Astrof and an untitled community center project from Sierra Teller Ornelas, are all contenders for the Monday and Friday 8:30 PM berths behind St. Denis Medical and Happy’s Place, with a decision not expected before the network sees the pilots in June, Kern said. Additionally, NBC has scaled back its entertainment offerings to make room for the 180 hours of NBA programming next season, with no new drama series allotted for 2025-26.
