Sterling K. Brown is joining The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel as a cast member. The actor announced the news via an Instragram video, crediting creator and Executive Producer Amy Sherman-Palladino and Executive Producer Daniel Palladino with writing a new role for him.
In the video – watch it below – Brown, casually sipping a cup of coffee, says he’s in Los Angeles but is “eastward bound” because he’s “going to do a little TV show.”
“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” he says. “Maybe you’ve heard of it.” Then after letting out a hearty chuckle, Brown says the Palladinos “were kind enough” to write a part for him.
“I’m getting together with Midge and it’s going to be awesome,” Brown says, a reference to the title character played by Rachel Brosnahan.
Chrissy Metz, Brown’s This Is Us co-star, responded on Instagram, “Ooooooohhh yesssss!”
The Emmy-winning Amazon Prime Video series is currently in production on its third season.
Brown has four films set for this year, including Angry Birds 2, The Rhythm Section, Frozen 2 and Waves. He recently launched his production company Indian Meadows, with the mandate to champion diversity while developing and producing “entertaining, educational and edifying projects.”
Brown is represented by JWS Entertainment, Innovative Artists and Bloom Hergott Diemer Rosenthal Laviolette Feldman Schenkman & Goodman.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel stars Rachel Brosnahan, Tony Shalhoub, Alex Borstein, Michael Zegen, Marin Hinkle, Kevin Pollak and Caroline Aaron.
