Adrian Holmes, Nicole Ari Parker, Brad James and Jade Eshete Added To ‘At That Age’ NBC Drama Pilot Series
Deadline is reporting that Adrian Holmes, Nicole Ari Parker, Brad James and Jade Eshete are set as co-leads alongside Sinqua Walls, Emayatzy Corinealdi and Christian Keyes in At That Age, NBC’s ensemble drama pilot from Carla Banks-Waddles, Malcolm D. Lee, Debra Martin Chase and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group. Additionally, Bailey Bass has been added in a recurring role.
Created, directed and based on an original idea by Lee and written by Banks-Waddles, At That Age is an exploration of an African-American family’s legacy. After the Cooper family’s golden child suffers a catastrophic event, seven family members (Holmes, Parker, James, Eschete, Walls, Corinealdi and Keyes) face a foundational shift, make life-altering decisions and deal with deep secrets coming to light.
Holmes will play Ellington Cooper, the oldest of the Cooper children and second in command at Cooper Corporation. He’s charming, savvy, confident and has lots of presence and swagger.
Parker is Samantha Cooper, Avery’s wife. She’s smart but has become content to stay at home and reap the benefits of the Cooper wealth and name.
James is Justin Carmichael. Victoria’s husband. He struggles to get the focus and attention of his alpha wife.
Eshete plays Sydney Cooper, Layton’s estranged wife. She has a likable innocence about her, attracted to wounded souls.
Bass (Avatar 2) will recur as Kendall Cooper, the strong-willed teenage daughter of a prominent Harlem family.
Banks-Waddles executive produces with Lee via his Blackmaled Productions, and Chase as part of her deal with Universal TV.
At That Age was ordered to pilot in January 2020, but put on hold due to the coronavirus-related production shutdown.
