Duane Martin has been tapped to star alongside Gabrielle Union in the upcoming Bad Boys spinoff pilot.
According to Deadline, Martin has been added to the potential series with Friday Night Lights’ alum Zach Gilford.
In the spinoff, Union will reprise her Bad Boys 2 role, Syd Burnett. Her character, however, has now moved to L.A. and is working as an LAPD detective. Unfortunately, her new partner, Nancy McKenna, believes Syd’s lifestyle is a front for a “greater personal secret.”
Martin would play “the smart and competitive” LAPD homicide detective Ben Baines, who’s partnered with Gilford’s character, Ben Walker.
As previously reported, Ernie Hudson has already signed on to play Union’s father.
The Bad Boys series news comes after BET announced the cancellation of Union’s Being Mary Jane, ending the series with a fifth-season two-hour movie special.
