NBC has made their first scripted series order of the 2025-26 season, ordering comedy pilot The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins to series. The project is produced by Tina Fey and reunites her with her SNL and 30 Rock co-star Tracy Morgan, who will star in the series. The series follows a disgraced former football player who tries to rehabilitate his image, and also features a high-profile cast that includes Daniel Radcliffe, fellow SNL-er Bobby Moynihan, Erika Alexander, Precious Way and Jalyn Hall. The first season is expected to have a ten-episode order. Two other NBC comedy pilots remain in contention for next season, but have not yet filmed, including a cheerleading comedy from the creator of Trial & Error.
