Kym Whitley lands a role on the Martin spinoff series, The Varnell Hill Show.
Whitley will star alongside Tommy Davidson, who played Varnell Hill on the 90s sitcom. The show is set to be a workplace comedy with a behind-the-scenes look into the late-night talk show The Varnell Hill Show.
In the show, Hill is trying to maintain relevance in a constantly changing industry while keeping the corporate dynamics of business stakeholders, network executives, and creative teams, including in making the show.
Kym Whitley will play the role of Kim Jones, the longtime assistant to Varnell. This new show was co-created and executive-produced by Martin Lawrence. Bentley Evans will serve as the show runner.
Lawrence is set to reprise his role as Martin Payne in a few episodes, which have begun production in Los Angeles.
This news comes after Whitley was seen in Happy Gilmore 2.
