Why this Matters to You
If you enjoyed the first season of 'The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins', you can expect more episodes. The renewal means the story of Reggie Dinkins's image rehabilitation will continue, likely maintaining its current cast and creative team, including co-creators Robert Carlock and Sam Means and executive producer Tina Fey. This decision by NBC suggests confidence in the show's audience appeal, which could lead to a stable schedule for its return.
