Several core members of the “30 Rock” team are reuniting for a new NBC comedy pilot and now former “Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe is set to join them.
Vulture reports that Radcliffe will star opposite Tracy Morgan in the pilot which will be executive produced by Tina Fey, Morgan and former “30 Rock” writers Seam Means and Robert Carlock.
Morgan stars as Reggie, a disgraced former football player on a mission to rehabilitate his image.
Radcliffe will play Arthur Tobin, an award-winning filmmaker who moves into Reggie’s mansion to make an immersive documentary about the one-time star running back.
Universal Television is backing the project which, should it go to series, will mark Radcliffe’s first role in an American broadcast series after several streaming and cable shows like “Miracle Workers,” “Mulligan” and “A Young Doctor’s Notebook”.
Radcliffe previously worked with Fey and Co. on the “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend” telemovie.
