Greg Gayne/NBC Tina Fey guest stars on Great News as Diana.

Will & Grace isn’t the only major comeback on NBC tonight. Tina Fey is returning as a guest star in the season two premiere of Great News, the hilarious comedy set in a New Jersey television station. The 30 Rock star will play the new boss, who hopes to shake things up. The season premiere, “Boardroom Bitch,” airs at 9:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, September 28, 2017. Read on for a preview of the new episode and season.

Fey will appear in the first three episodes of the season. She is playing Diana St. Tropez, a new boss for The Breakdown, the show-within-a-show at the center of Great News. Chuck (John Michael Higgins) feels threatened by the move, since it looks like Portia (Nicole Richie) will take center stage on the show.

Briga Heelan is the lead star of Great News as Katie, a headstrong producer on the show who has never been happy about working on fluffy stories. Adam Campbell co-stars as Greg, Katie’s boss and possible love interest. (No! Ewww. It’s not like that!) Andrea Martin plays Katie’s over-sharing mom Carol, who has an internship at the station.

Great News was created by Tracy Wigfield, who won an Emmy for writing the series finale of 30 Rock with Fey. Wigfield also appears on the show as the weird meteorologist Beth Vierk.
