Poppa’s House stars the elder Wayans as, well, Poppa, a happily divorced radio host who has his point of view challenged both at work — when a new female co-host, Dr. Ivy Reed (played by First Wives Club ‘s Essence Atkins), is hired — and at home, where he finds himself still parenting his adult son Damon (Wayans Jr.), a brilliant dreamer who is trying to pursue his passion while being a responsible father and husband.

The series regular cast also includes Tetona Jackson ( Good Trouble ) as Damon’s wife, Nina.

TVLine has learned exclusively that Mader will guest-star in a November episode as Susan Pierce, the poised and put-together headmistress of Buckingham, a prestigious private school that Damon’s son is admitted to. When Poppa raises an eyebrow at the ridonkulous tuition for his grandson’s new school, things will get heated ‘tween him and the redheaded Brit.

Poppa’s House debuts Monday, Oct. 21 at 8:30/7:30, where it will follow The Neighborhood Season 7 and lead into NCIS Season 21.
