Porsha Williams Lands Major Acting Role in 'Brilliant Minds' Season 2 — You Won’t Believe Who She’s Starring With!

   

“Brilliant Minds” has added four guest stars for its upcoming second season at NBC.

Variety has learned that Porsha Williams (“The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” “The Traitors”), Molly Bernard (“Younger,” “Chicago Med”), Connor Tomlinson (“Love on the Spectrum”), and Laura Vandervoort (“Smallville,” “Age of Dysphoria”) have all joined the sophomore season of the medical drama.

Williams and Vandervoort will both appear in the first episode of Season 2, while Bernard will pop in for episode two and Tomlinson in episode three. Williams will play Bitsy, who is described as “an affluent Upper West Side housewife who sees Dr. Carol Pierce (Tamberla Perry) at her private practice. She knows all the gossip about everyone, on every medical board in New York City.”

Vandervoort will play Cynthia Grudko. The character description reads, “It’s not easy being an MMA fighter’s wife and raising two kids. When her husband Tommy starts experiencing strange symptoms, Cynthia fights by advocating for his health – even when his coach might not agree.”

Bernard will play Lauren Brooks, said to “a young professional looking for love who finds herself in her worst nightmare: she has a mental health crisis while filming a reality dating show… and everyone is watching.” Finally, Tomlinson will play Tom, “who lives in a group home and has an affinity for the spy genre. He crosses our doctors while they’re out investigating a medical mystery.”

Williams is repped by Karen Kinney Entertainment, UTA, Fox Rothschild LLP, and align Public Relations. Bernard is repped by Brillstein Entertainment Partners and Jill Fritzo Public Relations. Tomlinson is repped by The Shine Side. Vandervoort is repped by The Characters Talent Agency.

The guest stars will appear alongside fellow Season 2 additions Bellamy Young and Al Calderon. Returning cast members include Zachary Quinto, Perry, Ashleigh LaThrop, Alex MacNicoll, Aury Krebs, Spence Moore II, Teddy Sears, and Donna Murphy.

 

“Brilliant Minds” is inspired by life and work of author and physician Oliver Sacks. Per the official logline, the show “follows a revolutionary, larger-than-life neurologist (Quinto) and his team of interns as they explore the last great frontier – the human mind – while grappling with their own relationships and mental health.”

Michael Grassi serves as creator, writer and executive producer. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Lee Toland Krieger, DeMane Davis, Melissa Aouate, Henrik Bastin, Jonathan Cavendish, Andy Serkis, and Shefali Malhoutra also executive produce. Berlanti Productions, Fabel Entertainment, The Imaginarium, Grassi Productions and Tavala produce in association with Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television.

“Brilliant Minds” Season 2 will premiere on Sept. 22 on NBC.
