We already knew that The Good Place‘s William Jackson Harper will be replacing Anna Kendrick as the main focus of the season and now it’s been announced that Jessica Williams will play his love interest.

William plays “Marcus Watkins as as he comes out of a years-long relationship with the woman he thought was going to be his person. The rug pulled out from under him, he is plunged back into the search for the romantic fulfillment that he thought he had already found.”

Jessica is best known for her work in 2 Dope Queens and Booksmart.

Also joining the cast is Chris “Comedian CP” Powell as “the charming and gregarious Yogi, who is committed to his girlfriend and two children, but lives vicariously through Marcus’s exploits, offering unsolicited advice.”
