The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins Enters Series Production in Toronto for 2025

NBC’s new single-camera comedy The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins has been officially greenlit and is set to begin production in Toronto in August 2025. This fresh, character-driven series stars Tracy Morgan alongside Daniel Radcliffe and promises unique opportunities for filmmakers and on-set talent seeking high-profile network work.

Tracy Morgan leads as Reggie Dinkins, a disgraced former football star on a mission to rebuild his public image. Daniel Radcliffe co-stars as Arthur Tobin, an immersive documentary filmmaker who moves into Reggie’s life to capture the redemption journey on film. Their on-screen dynamic creates fertile material for comedic exploration, while on-set professionals can expect grounded, dialogue-driven performance shoots and location blending that brings authenticity and nuance to the show’s tone.

Behind the camera, the project reunites the powerhouse creative talent behind 30 Rock. Tina Fey and Robert Carlock serve as executive producers, joined by Sam Means, Eric Gurian, David Miner, and pilot director Rhys Thomas. Carlock and Means also co-write the series, ensuring the comedy retains the satirical and character-forward style audiences loved from previous work. All of this comes under the production umbrella of Universal Television in partnership with producer 3 Arts, signaling solid industry backing and strong creative leadership.

Production is set to roll in summer 2025, with preliminary prep already beginning in Toronto, Ontario. Production offices and department planning will set up mid-July, leading into an eight- to ten-episode shoot starting August and running into late 2025. Filming in Toronto offers robust infrastructure—soundstages, location permits, and a capable pool of local crew—all supported by Canada’s competitive tax incentives for film production.

For local and traveling crew, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins offers roles across a range of departments: camera, lighting, grip, electric, sound, art, set dec, wardrobe, hair & makeup, script supervision, location coordination, and post-production. Dialogue-heavy setups and sharp comedic timing will also create demand for skilled stage managers, continuity, and editing professionals focused on comedic rhythms.

Casting calls for supporting roles and background talent are expected as scripts finalize, including football team scenes, documentary crew roles, and a variety of supporting character opportunities. Casting and background coordinators, stand-ins, and extras will all play a central part in building the world of Reggie’s comeback.
