LOS ANGELES, Aug 25:Actor Regina King has been tapped to helm an episode in season two of hit NBC drama, “This Is Us”.

Recently, she just finished directing an episode of Showtime’s “Shameless”.
“This Is Us” dropped the first look at the upcoming season two featuring Rebecca (Mandy Moore) and Randall (Sterling K. Brown).
Also starring Milo Ventimiglia, Chrissy Metz, Justin Hartley, Ron Cephas Jones and Chris Sullivan, the upcoming season will be packed with some guest appearances. Sylvester Stallone and Debra Jo Rupp are among the confirmed guest stars.
“This Is Us” season 2 will air next month. (PTI)
