'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues' casts Greg Kinnear, Josh Lawson

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues has cast Greg Kinnear and House of Lies actor Josh Lawson.

The pair's roles in the upcoming sequel are currently unspecified, Deadline reports.



Lawson has previously appeared with Ferrell in The Campaign.

Steve Carell clarified earlier this week that Meryl Streep will not be in Anchorman 2, after previously seeming to suggest that she had asked him for a role.

The movie has, however, cast Harrison Ford in a supporting role, while Kristen Wiig, Dylan Baker and Meagan Good have also joined the ensemble.
