- NBC renewed “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” for season 2 after its Jan 18 premiere drew over 14 million viewers, making it the most‑watched comedy telecast of the 2025‑2026 season.
- Tracy Morgan stars as the disgraced former football star Reggie Dinkins, who must confront his past to win back fans and family respect.
- Variety gave the series a perfect 100 % Rotten Tomatoes rating and praised Morgan’s charisma as comparable to his “30 Rock” role.
- Deadline reported the renewal ahead of NBCUniversal’s May 11 upfront, confirming the show’s place among other renewed NBC series such as “Happy’s Place” and “Law & Order: SVU”.
- Rolling Stone listed the story in a “Stub Season” roundup, though its focus was on unrelated ticket sales, highlighting limited cross‑media coverage.
Why it matters: NBC gains a top‑rated comedy that attracted over 14 million viewers, driving higher ad revenue and solidifying its 2025‑2026 schedule, while rival networks lose a potential audience boost.
