Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watchmen, Magic City) will be a series regular on the second season of Extant, the CBS drama series starring Oscar winner Halle Berry. Extant season two will air this summer.

Per the official announcement, Morgan will play “JD Richter, a roguish womanizer and a cop of the future who is a mercenary/bounty hunter. He is free-wheeling, hard-drinking, and fearless, bordering on reckless, mostly because he’s got nothing to lose. He is the everyman who thought he had seen everything until Molly Woods (Berry) enters his life.”

Season one’s cast also included Goran Visnjic, Pierce Gagnon, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael O’Neill, Camryn Manheim, and Grace Gummer. Extant is executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Greg Walker, Mickey Fisher, Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank, and Brooklyn Weaver.
