Megan Thee Stallion is coming back to flirt with Daniel Radcliffe one more time.
The Grammy-winning rapper will guest star in the second-season finale of NBC’s The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, reprising her role as Denise in the comedy’s upcoming episode, the network announced. Denise is a divorced mother who flirted with Radcliffe’s character, documentary filmmaker Arthur Tobin, during the comedy’s first season.
Megan Thee Stallion previously appeared as Denise, a postal worker, in You May Hug Your Hero, which aired March 16. She returned two weeks later in The World Is Full of Beaks while Tobin was struggling to woo her.
The comedy’s second season premiered on November 2, uniting ex-football star Reggie Dinkins, played by Tracy Morgan, with Tobin. Both men are still searching for redemption and continue to screw it up. With help from his family, Reggie continues to try to restore his former glory.
New episodes air every Monday at 8:30 p.m. Eastern and Pacific on NBC, following St. Denis Medical, and stream on Peacock the next day. The season will feature 10 episodes, NBC said, without specifying when the season finale will air.
The comedy comes from the creators of 30 Rock, the NBC sitcom starring Morgan for seven seasons. Robert Carlock and Sam Means write the series and act as its executive producers alongside Tina Fey, Morgan, Eric Gurian and David Miner. Erika Alexander, Bobby Moynihan, Precious Way and Jalyn Hall complete the cast.
The series made a good start. Its special premiere on January 18 after an NFL playoff game scored more than 14 million viewers, TheWrap reported. NBC renewed the series in May when it ranked as the number-one new comedy of the 2025–2026 TV season among viewers aged 18 to 49.
Universal Television, a division of Universal Studios Group, produces the series together with Little Stranger, Bevel Gears, 3 Arts and Means End Productions.
The Houston rapper, whose real name is Megan Pete, boasts three No. 1 hit songs on the Billboard Hot 100: “Savage (Remix)” with Beyoncé, “WAP” with Cardi B, and “Hiss.”
Her accolades include three Grammy Awards, nine BET Awards, and four MTV Video Music Awards, along with several Billboard Music Awards for top female rap artist. She has been awarded for her activism with Planned Parenthood’s Catalyst for Change Award, Special Achievement Award at Webby Awards, Trailblazer Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, and Mental Health Champion award from The Trevor Project.
In 2022, she became the first black woman to be featured on Forbes’ Under 30 cover. Time named her as one of the 100 most influential people of 2020, the same year as she penned “Why I Speak Up for Black Women” for The New York Times.
Acting has become an increasingly important part of her career. She made her film debut as Gloria in the 2023 A24 musical comedy “Dicks: The Musical” and later starred in the 2024 movie musical “Mean Girls.” In April, she played Louise, a prison cellmate who becomes her friend, in the Netflix comedy “Roommates.” She has also guest-starred in Marvel and Starz shows.
This spring, she made her Broadway debut in “Moulin Rouge! The Musical,” becoming the first woman to play Zidler, the impresario of the nightclub, in any production of the show worldwide. Her Broadway stint at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre ran from March 24 to May 17.
She has hosted the MTV Video Music Awards and, in 2022, “Saturday Night Live,” where she was also the musical guest. She has co-hosted “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” with Jimmy Fallon.
Off screen, Megan Thee Stallion has been building her business portfolio. She launched Chicas Divertidas, a tequila brand including blanco and reposado options, on her 30th birthday in February 2025. Later, she launched Hot Girl Summer, a self-designed swimwear line featuring outfits for women, men, and pets.
In January, she opened her first Popeyes restaurant in Miami Beach’s South Beach district, based on the partnership with the chain started in 2021 with her Hottie Sauce.
In July, she launched her first perfume, Hot Girl Summer Eau de Parfum, made with Coty. It is available in two sizes: 90 milliliters for $84 and 10 milliliters for $29.
She is also heading the Pete and Thomas Foundation, a nonprofit she founded in 2022 in memory of her parents. The organization helps women, children, senior citizens, and underserved communities in Houston and beyond, focusing on education, housing, and health and wellness.
