Crutch centers on “Francois ‘Frank’ Crutchfield (Morgan) – or ‘Crutch’ to those that know him well – a Harlem widower whose empty nest plans are put on hold after his millennial son and free-spirited daughter move back home.”
Tracy originally played Curtis on The Neighborhood, who was Calvin’s (Cedric the Entertainer) brother, but Crutch is his cousin.
Jermaine‘s character will be Jake, who is described as “an Ivy League educated lawyer who forgoes a high-paying position at a swanky, white shoe law firm to provide low-cost legal aid in Harlem.”
The spinoff was first announced earlier this year with a series order.
