Who’s In, Who’s Out TV Edition: Jeff Daniels, Daniel Radcliffe, June Diane Raphael

Tracy Morgan, who made a bizarre appearance on last night’s Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney as King Latifah (honestly, not my favorite segment), has two series in the works. He’s the lead in Crutch, a Paramount+ spin-off of the popular CBS series The Neighborhood. He’s also reteaming with his 30 Rock creative team — Robert Carlock and Tina Fey — for an untitled NBC comedy about a disgraced former football player trying to rehab his image.

I mostly mention this because of who his co-star in the NBC comedy will be. Daniel Radcliffe has signed onto the project, and he will play a documentary filmmaker who moves in with Morgan’s character. A Tina Fey comedy with Daniel Radcliffe? Is it my birthday? No, it’s not. It’s the day before Pi Day. But I’ll take it.

Elsewhere, Elizabeth Olsen is reteaming with Sean Durkin — the Iron Claw director who previously worked with Olsen on Martha Marcy May Marlene — for FX’s Seven Sisters. It’s about a large, tight-knit family that begins to unravel when one of the sisters (Olsen) starts communicating with a voice no one else can hear. Sounds interesting. Also, fun fact: I used to think that Kaitlin Olson was the older sister of Elizabeth, Ashley, and Mary-Kate. Also fun fact: I convinced my teenage son the other day that Pink was the daughter of Pink Floyd, a story my wife insists I stop telling because it’s not that funny.

How many more people are they going to add to the Dexter: Resurrection cast? When last we reported, Michael C. Hall was set to be joined by Peter Dinklage, Uma Thurman, and Krysten Ritter. In just the couple of weeks since then, they’ve also announced the additions of Neil Patrick Harris and Modern Family’s Eric Stonestreet. I hope they’re not bringing in all this star power to obscure the quality of the writing.

In: Jeff Daniels! On Shrinking?! Sign me up. He’s playing the father of Jason Segel’s character, which is perfect casting. It will be Daniels’ first television comedy.

Out: Johnny Galecki, Michael Fishman, and Estelle Parsons — all of whom have played long-running characters on Roseanne and The Conners — will not be in the final six-episode season of The Conners because there’s just not enough time to shoehorn them in for the sake of shoehorning them in. That said, apparently, they do have time to introduce a new character played by Seth Green. Where’s he been? Cha-ching?

In: Franka Potente. She’s joined the fourth season of Dark Winds. She was evidently in Mayfair Witches, presumably after the first three episodes, which is when I stopped watching.

Finally, June Diane Raphael has been well cast as the mother of Elle Woods in the upcoming Prime Video television adaptation of Legally Blonde. Dammit, now I gotta watch.
