"In Living Color" creator Keenen Ivory Wayans is joining TBS’ "The Last O.G." as showrunner for its upcoming third season. Wayans also will direct four episodes of the comedy series.
“I’m thrilled and excited to be working with such a great cast, team of producers and reuniting with Tracy Morgan,” said Wayans. “Together we’re all going to take the show to the next level.”
Wayans succeeds Saladin K. Patterson who served as showrunner in Season 2 and series’ co-creator John Carcieri, who exited after production wrapped on Season 1.
“We can’t wait to see where Keenen takes this series next,” said Brett Weitz , general manager of TBS, TNT and truTV. “It’s honestly a dream scenario to work with one of the true trail-blazers of social humor; he’s the perfect fit for The Last O.G.”
