EXCLUSIVE: Black Lightning alumna Christine Adams and Joe Carroll (Pose) are set for recurring roles on Ordinary Joe, NBC’s upcoming drama series starring Jimmy Wolk from House veterans Russel Friend and Garrett Lerner and The Batman writer/director Matt Reeves and his 6th & Idaho banner. The project, which co-stars Natalie Martinez, Charlie Barnett and Elizabeth Lail, is a co-production of 20th Television, Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, 6th & Idaho and 3 Arts.
Written by Friend and Lerner, Ordinary Joe explores the three parallel lives of the show’s main character (Wolk) after he makes a pivotal choice at a crossroads in his life. The series asks the question of how different life might look if you made your decision based on love, loyalty or passion.
Adams will play Regina Diaz, supportive wife and mother who is smart, ambitious and can be formidable. She might’ve had a different path before her husband, Bobby Diaz (Adam Rodriguez) became an elected politician.

This is Adams’ first major television role since Black Lightning completed its four-season run on The CW this past Spring.
