Deadline is reporting that In Contempt alum Christian Keyes will co-star in NBC drama pilot At That Age.
From Carla Banks-Waddles (Half & Half), At That Age follows the Coopers, an African-American family whose golden child suffers a catastrophic event that shifts their foundation. If ordered, the series would examine the impact this event has on each Cooper individually, as well as the family unit as a whole, while chronicling the life-altering decisions they face and the secrets that’ve been forced out into the light.
Keyes will play Samantha Patterson’s younger brother Jabari.
At That Age is one of six drama pilots in contention at NBC for 2020-21, joining body swapping procedural Echo; Langdon, based on the Dan Brown novel The Lost Symbol and starring Manhattan alum Ashley Zukerman as the famed Harvard symbologist; sinkhole mystery La Brea; Debris, which follows two agents who investigate the wreckage from a destroyed alien spacecraft; and Ordinary Joe, centering on the three parallel lives that splinter off when its main character (James Wolk) makes a pivotal decision at a major life crossroads.
In addition to the BET drama, Keyes has appeared on the likes of The Family Business, Saints & Sinners, and The Boys. He joins a cast that includes Emayatzy Corinealdi (The Red Line), who will play poised and ambitious Victoria Cooper-Hargrove.
