Casting News - September 24, 2024

Amazon's The Boys and The CW's All American.






AMAZON's THE BOYS
  • Daveed Diggs has been cast as a new series regular on the drama's upcoming fifth and final season. In 2016, he won Tony and Grammy Awards for his performance in the musical Hamilton. He recently finished his four-season starring role on TNT/AMC's Snowpiercer.
  • No details were immediately announced about the character he will be playing.
THE CW's ALL AMERICAN
  • Antonio J. Bell and Alexis Chikaeze have been promoted to series regulars for the drama's upcoming seventh season. Furthermore, Osy Ikhile and Nathaniel McIntyre have been cast as new series regulars. Bell and Chikaeze previously appeared as recurring guest stars during the drama's sixth season.
  • Bell plays Khalil, a South Crenshaw student.
  • Chikaeze plays Amina, Preach's (Kareem J. Grimes) daughter.
  • Ikhile will play Cassius Jeremy, the new football coach at Beverly High. He is a family man and tough coach. He oozes charm but doesn't mess around when it comes to football. Freshly relocated from Oakland with his QB son, Kingston, Coach Jeremy is determined to bring Beverly football back to its former glory, which means taking down South Crenshaw High's program by any means necessary.
  • McIntyre will play Kingston Jeremy aka KJ, Beverly High's newly transferred quarterback. Naturally gifted, he's a beast on the field, with a football IQ rarely seen at his age, which doesn't always make him popular with his new teammates. While close off the field, his relationship with his dad is more complicated on the field. His singular focus is to play for the NFL. He just needs to survive high school, relationships, his complicated family, and a deep-seated rivalry he didn't sign up for.
  • And finally, Michael Evans Behling, Greta Onieogou and Bre-Z are all set to return as series regulars for the upcoming season. In addition to Daniel Ezra's departure, that means Samantha Logan, Cody Christian, Karimah Westbrook, Monét Mazur, Jalyn Hall and Chelsea Tavares will not be returning to the core cast.
