If you're a fan of The Office or St. Dennis Medical, you'll absolutely love this chaotic new comedy. If you can watch it.

From the comedic minds behind 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt comes a high-stakes, single-camera sitcom that feels like a spiritual successor to the fast-paced, surreal humour of NBC's golden era. 

The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins is a redemption story wrapped in a mockumentary, following a disgraced NFL legend who is desperate to scrub his tarnished legacy and reclaim his throne.

With Tracy Morgan leading the charge and an unexpectedly brilliant pairing with Daniel Radcliffe, the series is already being hailed as a standout comedy of 2026.

Where to watch The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins in Australia.

If you are Down Under and looking to catch Reggie's attempt at a comeback, you might have to exercise a bit of patience. While the series will air on NBC and Peacock in the United States, an official Australian streaming home has yet to be confirmed.

For now, there is no set release date for local broadcast, so it is best to keep an eye on your favourite streaming dashboards for any surprise "coming soon" announcements.

What is The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins about?

The series centres on Reggie Dinkins, a former NFL superstar whose career ended in a spectacular, life-altering gambling scandal. After being banned for life, Reggie decides the only way to fix his public image — and perhaps his bank account — is to allow an award-winning but socially awkward filmmaker, Arthur Tobin, to document his rise back to respectability.

It is an odd-couple dynamic for the ages as Reggie is a loud, ego-driven athlete with a penchant for chaos, while Arthur is a serious documentarian trying to navigate Reggie's eccentric family and his own career baggage.

As cameras roll, the show explores themes of accountability, the absurdity of modern fame, and the messy reality of family dynamics, all delivered with the signature rapid-fire wit of creators Robert Carlock and Sam Means.

Who is in The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins?

The cast is a powerhouse ensemble that blends sitcom veterans with prestige film stars. Tracy Morgan takes the lead as Reggie Dinkins, the titular disgraced star looking for a second act. He is joined by Daniel Radcliffe as Arthur Tobin, the filmmaker tasked with capturing Reggie's redemption who often becomes the victim of his schemes.

Erika Alexander stars as Monica, Reggie's sharp-witted ex-wife and business manager who is the only person capable of keeping him in check. Bobby Moynihan plays Rusty, Reggie's fiercely loyal and somewhat misguided former teammate.

The cast is rounded out by Precious Way as Brina, Reggie's glamorous fiancée, and Jalyn Hall as Carmelo, Reggie's teenage son who provides the grounded, emotional heart of the family. Adding some serious star power to the guest list, Megan Thee Stallion appears as Denise, a recently divorced mother who strikes up a flirtation with Radcliffe's character.
