Megan Thee Stallion Plays Daniel Radcliffe's Love Interest In New Sitcom With Tracy Morgan

The world caught a sneak preview of the new Daniel Radicliffe and Tracy Morgan’s new sitcom The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins when NBC aired the pilot after an NBC playoff game last month. Today, the network revealed that Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion will appear on a future episode once they launch the rest of the inaugural season.

The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins centers around a former NFL star (Morgan) who attempts to put his life back together after a gambling scandal ruins him. Radcliffe plays a documentary filmmaker hired to create a movie about his life. The cast is rounded out by Erika Alexander, Precious Way, Jalyn Hall, and SNL vet Bobby Moynihan. It’s produced by the 30 Rock duo of Tina Fey and Robert Carlock.

Megan Thee Stallion will play a divorced mother who begins a romantic relationship with Radicliffe. It’s unclear how many episodes she’ll appear in. Her previous screen credits include Dicks: The Musical, Good Girlsand P-Valley. She was also the host and musical guest of a 2022 episode of Saturday Night Live.

Of course outside of her acting forays, she’s been busy with her music career: She spent 2024 on the Hot Girl Summer tour, hitting arenas all across Europe and North America, in support of her most recent LP, 2024’s Megan.

Two months ago, she won a legal victory against blogger Milagro Gramz, who was accused of spreading deepfake pornographic videos about her. Megan was awarded $59,000.

“We are grateful for the jury’s commitment to reinforcing the importance of truth, accountability and responsible commentary on social media,” Megan’s lawyer, Mari Henderon, said in a statement. “Not only is Milagro being held accountable for paying Megan compensatory and punitive damages, but Florida’s fee-shifting legal provision will require her to cover costs of Megan’s legal bills on the deepfake claim. This verdict sends a clear message that spreading dangerous misinformation carries significant consequences.”
