Deadline later reported that Brown, whose character is being developed by creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and executive producer Daniel Palladino, will appear in the Emmy-winning series in a three-episode story arc.

Brown is best-known for his roles in the first season of the FX anthology series American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, for which he earned his first Emmy win, and a lead role on the acclaimed NBC drama This is Us, for which he earned his second Emmy Award. He has also seen a successful film career in the past couple of years, starring in the 2017 legal-thriller biopic Marshall alongside Chadwick Boseman before reuniting with him on 2018’s Oscar-winning blockbuster Black Panther, as well as Shane Black’s sci-fi sequel The Predator. He will next be heard in the upcoming animated sequels Frozen 2 and The Angry Birds Movie 2.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel from renowned creator Amy Sherman-Palladino (Gilmore Girls) and Executive Producer Daniel Palladino (Family Guy), written and directed by Sherman-Palladino and Palladino, stars Golden Globe winner Rachel Brosnahan (House of Cards) as Miriam “Midge” Maisel, a 1958 New York City woman who has everything she’s ever wanted — the perfect husband, two kids, and an elegant Upper West Side apartment perfect for hosting Yom Kippur dinner. But her perfect life suddenly takes an unexpected turn and Midge discovers a previously unknown talent — one that changes her life forever.

Zachary Levi (Shazam!) was recently cast in a recurring role in the second season as well.
