Don Johnson and Chris Redd have signed onto a starring role in “Kenan,” the upcoming NBC series starring Kenan Thompson.
“Kenan” was originally ordered to series last year for a spring 2020 debut, but NBC announced in January that the show was being pushed to the 2020-2021 season to continue developing it.
Johnson will play Rick, Kenan’s father-in-law in the series. He takes over the role from Andy Garcia. Redd has been cast as Gary, Kenan’s brother.

Johnson’s recent credits include the critically-acclaimed HBO limited series “Watchmen” and the hit film “Knives Out.” He is best known for his role in the classic cop series “Miami Vice.
