NBC Adds Jeremy Culhane and Boris Kodjoe to Reggie Dinkins Season 2

NBC will bring back The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins on November 2 at 8:30 p.m. ET, with Mike Tirico, Boris Kodjoe, and Saturday Night Live cast member Jeremy Culhane joining the second season. The comedy, led by Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe, continues the story of a disgraced former NFL star trying to rebuild his public image and career.

According to NBC's October 20 announcement, the new season introduces Tirico as himself, Kodjoe as Leslie "LP" Pervis, and Culhane as Max, an assistant who helps manage Reggie's public relations. New episodes will air on NBC and stream on Peacock the following day.

The series' second season follows Reggie Dinkins after he received four votes for the Hall of Fame, a development that provides the starting point for his next comeback attempt. A trailer released ahead of the premiere shows him pursuing publicity opportunities, including unboxing videos and a television appearance involving an unruly ferret.

Reggie's former wife and agent, Monica, played by Erika Alexander, remains central to his efforts to regain prominence. The trailer also introduces changes in her personal and professional life, including a new romantic interest and a younger assistant tasked with helping manage the publicity surrounding Reggie's return.

Mike Tirico's guest appearance brings a familiar NBC sports personality into the sitcom's fictional sports-media setting. According to NBC, the longtime broadcaster interviews Reggie during a Sunday Night Football segment.

Tirico began his broadcasting career as an ESPN SportsCenter anchor in 1991. NBC said he joined the network in 2016 and has since anchored coverage of the Summer and Winter Olympics and Super Bowl LX in 2026. He also serves as the lead play-by-play announcer for Sunday Night Football and NBA on NBC broadcasts.

His previous screen appearances include the 1996 film Jerry Maguire and an episode of Chicago Fire during its fifth season. He also appeared in Hootie & the Blowfish's 1995 music video for Only Wanna Be With You.

Boris Kodjoe plays Leslie "LP" Pervis, Monica's new love interest. NBC describes the character as a former child prodigy who attended college with Monica and Reggie before reinventing himself as a successful entrepreneur.

Kodjoe gained recognition through the Showtime series Soul Food and later starred in Station 19, the Grey's Anatomy spinoff. His other television credits include The Last Man on Earth, House of Cards, and Crossing Jordan.

Jeremy Culhane plays Max, Monica's new Gen Z assistant, who uses his marketing education and public relations skills to support Reggie's comeback. NBC identified the role as Culhane's debut in the network's comedy series.

The Los Angeles native joined Saturday Night Live in Season 51 and became known for his impression of Tucker Carlson. His other work includes performances with Upright Citizens Brigade, appearances on the streaming comedy channel Dropout, and television roles in American Vandal, Heathers, and The Sex Lives of College Girls.

The first season featured guest appearances by Megan Thee Stallion, Craig Robinson, Anna Camp, Soledad O'Brien, Heidi Gardner, and Chloe Troast. The returning principal cast includes Morgan, Radcliffe, Alexander, Bobby Moynihan, Precious Way, and Jalyn Hall.

Created by Robert Carlock and Sam Means and produced by Tina Fey, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins centers on the intersection of professional sports, celebrity, public relations, and the difficulties of restoring a damaged reputation. Its second season premieres November 2 at 8:30 p.m. ET on NBC, with episodes available on Peacock the following day.
