ABC's Abbott Elementary & High Potential; and NBC's The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins.
ABC's HIGH POTENTIAL
- Susan Kelechi Watson has booked a recurring role on the drama's second season. She previously starred for six seasons in NBC's This Is Us and in Netflix's one-season dramedy The Residence.
- She will play a wry, open-hearted, and independent woman from Karadec's (Daniel Sunjata) past. Always chasing what's next, not out of recklessness, but out of a real appetite for life. She follows her curiosity wherever it leads, whether that's a new city, a new flavor, or a new chapter.
ABC's ABBOTT ELEMENTARY
- Khandi Alexander has landed a recurring role on the comedy's fifth season. She previously starred for four seasons in NBC's NewsRadio, six seasons in CBS' CSI: Miami, and four seasons in HBO's Treme. She also recurred on NBC's ER and ABC's Scandal.
- No details were immediately announced about the character she will be playing. She will make her first appearance in the January 21 episode titled "Mall Part 3: Heroes."
NBC's THE FALL AND RISE OF REGGIE DINKINS
- Craig Robinson and Michael Kosta will guest star on the upcoming comedy starring Tracy Morgan. Robinson previously starred for six seasons in NBC's The Office and two seasons in Peacock's Killing It. Kosta has been a correspondent on Comedy Central's The Daily Show since July 2017.
- Robinson will play Jerry Basmati, Reggie's (Morgan) longtime rival.
- Kosta will play Brett Mann, the smug, self-important host of a SportsCenter-style show.
