The TV adaptation of the beloved film series is bringing in major talent. The Daily Show alum Roy Wood Jr. and #OnMyBlock standout Brett Gray, known for his role as fan favorite Jamal Turner, have officially joined the cast. They’ll star alongside #SaturdayNightLive’s Punkie Johnson, E.J. Bonilla (The Old Man), and Jermaine Fowler (The Blackening).

The series centers on Fowler’s character, Travis “Trav” Porter, who’s determined to carry on his family legacy by stepping into his grandfather’s role at Chicago’s famous barbershop once known as “Calvin’s.” Wood Jr. is set to play Robert, an ex-con trying to rebuild his life behind the barber chair, and Gray will play the outspoken Kofi. The series is written and executive-produced by Marshall Todd, co-writer of the original Barbershop movie. A premiere date has yet to be revealed.
