Jane Krakowski and Scott Adsit are joining The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, giving the rise and fall of Reggie Dinkins a 30 Rock reunion angle for its upcoming season. Tracy Morgan’s NBC series now adds two former co-stars to a cast that already includes Daniel Radcliffe and Tina Fey behind the scenes.
Jane Krakowski played Jenna Maroney on 30 Rock, while Scott Adsit played Pete Hornberger. That pairing gives the new season a built-in shorthand for viewers who remember the series’ earlier ensemble work, even though the new show has not said whether either actor is returning to the same kind of role or starting fresh.
30 Rock returns to NBC
October 11, 2006 is when 30 Rock premiered, and its run stretched across seven consecutive seasons before the last episode aired on January 31, 2013. Krakowski and Adsit both entered that show in its first season, and their move into The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins reconnects Tracy Morgan with two performers from the same comic universe.
Tina Fey is also part of the new series as an executive producer, and Robert Carlock and Sam Means are attached as creators after working on 30 Rock as well. That team structure makes this more than a one-off guest booking; it places the new NBC series in the orbit of a proven ensemble model rather than a stand-alone celebrity cameo play.
Andre De Shields joins the season
Andre De Shields, Edi Patterson, and Jason Mantzoukas will also appear as guest stars in the upcoming season. That broadens the roster around Morgan and Radcliffe and gives the show a deeper bench before any premiere date has been set.
Rotten Tomatoes still shows 30 Rock at 78% on Tomatometer and 92% on Popcornmeter, a split that reflects how the show holds value with both critics and audiences. For The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, the practical takeaway is simple: the casting now carries reunion equity, but the roles for Adsit and Krakowski remain the unresolved part worth watching.
