Not only was his comedy The Mayor, which he produces, picked up by ABC, but the Hamilton star will headline TNT’s Snowpiercer pilot, based on the 2013 film that starred Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton, TNT announced Wednesday.
Since leaving Hamilton, for which he won a Tony, last July, Diggs has recurred on Black-ish, which will be the lead-in to The Mayor in the fall.
Daveed Diggs is having the best week ever.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles’ Josh Friedman is writing the pilot, with Doctor Strange’s Scott Derrickson set to direct.
