LOS ANGELES, JULY 24, 2019 - TBS has tapped writer, director and producer Keenen Ivory Wayans to serve as showrunner on season three of The Last O.G., starring Tracy Morgan and Tiffany Haddish. Co-created and executive-produced by Academy Award-winner Jordan Peele, The Last O.G. launched as cable's #1 comedy in 2018 and continues to be a ratings success with season two reaching a multiplatform audience of 32.5 million viewers thus far. Wayans, a New York native, will also direct four episodes in the newest season of the Brooklyn-centric comedy series.
"I'm thrilled and excited to be working with such a great cast, team of producers and reuniting with Tracy Morgan," said Wayans. "Together we're all going to take the show to the next level."

"We can't wait to see where Keenen takes this series next," said Brett Weitz , general manager of TBS, TNT and truTV. "It's honestly a dream scenario to work with one of the true trail-blazers of social humor; he's the perfect fit for The Last O.G."
