Daniel Radcliffe Boards NBC's Tracy Morgan Comedy Pilot From Tina Fey

Daniel Radcliffe is trading in Broadway for broadcast TV.

The Harry Potter actor is set to co-star in NBC's as-yet-untitled comedy pilot starring 30 Rock's Tracy Morgan, TVLine has learned.

Ordered to pilot earlier this month, the potential series stars Morgan as Reggie, a disgraced former football player on a mission to rehabilitate his image. We now know he'll get an assist from Radcliffe's character, Arthur Tobin, an award-winning filmmaker who moves into Reggie's mansion to film an immersive documentary about the former star running back.

The project hails from Morgan's onetime 30 Rock collaborators Tina Fey, Robert Carlock, Sam Means, Eric Gurian and David Miner — and Radcliffe is now reuniting with that group, too, having previously worked with them on the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt interactive special, Kimmy vs the Reverend, in 2020.

Though Radcliffe is best recognized for playing boy wizard Harry Potter in all eight of Warner Bros.' film adaptations, he's got quite a few TV credits under his belt, too, including TBS' Miracle Workers (opposite Steve Buscemi) and Roku's TV movie Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (which earned him a 2023 Emmy nod for playing the title musician). More recently, he co-starred in the Broadway revival of Merrily We Roll Along, snagging a Tony Award win for Best Featured Actor in a Musical.
