NBC’s The Fall & Rise of Reggie Dinkins Drops Its Official Trailer and Yes, Megan Thee Stallion Is Pulling Up

NBC is officially betting big with the newly released official trailer for The Fall & Rise of Reggie Dinkins which makes that crystal clear. Fronted by Tracy Morgan in full larger-than-life mode and boosted by a headline-grabbing guest appearance from Megan Thee Stallion, the upcoming comedy looks determined to elbow its way into the pop-culture conversation before it even premieres.

The trailer introduces Reggie Dinkins, a once-beloved public figure whose spectacular fall from grace has left him scrambling for relevance in an industry that has very much moved on. Morgan plays the character exactly how you’d expect: loud, shameless, and blissfully unaware of how far the world has passed him by. The setup leans hard into celebrity satire, with jokes that feel tailor-made for a media ecosystem obsessed with comebacks, rebrands, and selective amnesia.

But the real trailer buzz comes courtesy of Megan Thee Stallion, who guest stars as Denise, a recently divorced mom who strikes up a flirtation with Arthur Tobin, played by Daniel Radcliffe. Daniel Radcliffe who is still committed to choosing the weirdest, funniest possible post-franchise roles. The pairing is intentionally unexpected and NBC doesn’t bury the lead here; Megan’s presence is framed as an event, not a footnote, gesturing that Reggie Dinkins plans to rely heavily on pop-culture firepower.

Still, the official trailer for The Fall & Rise of Reggie Dinkins makes one thing clear: NBC wants this show to feel current, not nostalgic. Between Megan Thee Stallion’s guest spot, Radcliffe’s continued streak of anti-typecasting and a premise built around fame’s cyclical cruelty, the series is clearly aiming for relevance beyond its network-TV trappings.

Whether Reggie Dinkins can balance stunt casting with actual staying power remains to be seen. But as trailers go, this one understands the assignment: get people talking, spark a few memes, and remind viewers that even the most unlikely comebacks deserve at least one curious click.
