‘Crutch’: ‘The Neighborhood’ Spinoff Starring Tracy Morgan Sets Premiere Date — Everything We Know

Welcome to the block. Welcome to a new neighborhood. Crutch is a spinoff of the CBS comedy, The Neighborhood, which is set to air its last season this fall.

Tracy Morgan plays Crutch, a relative of Calvin Butler (Cedric The Entertainer). Find out who else will be joining him and where to watch it. Watch a trailer for the show and get ready for a whole new family.

Here’s everything we know about the new show.

What is Crutch about?

Set in the world of The Neighborhood, Crutch centers on its titular character, Francois “Frank” Crutchfield, who goes by the nickname “Crutch.” He is a brash, yet beloved, Harlem shop owner and widower whose world is turned upside down when his grownup son and daughter decide to move back into the family home.

How does Crutch tie into The Neighborhood?

Morgan is set to star on The Neighborhood as Crutch on November 3. Crutch is the cousin of Calvin Butler. Cedric also serves as executive producer of the show.

The logline for the show reads, “Welcome to Family Value – Calvin reaches out to his cousin Crutch to get Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney) a sweet deal on a new floor.  However, Crutch insists on coming to L.A. to oversee the work himself, where he drives Tina (Tichina Arnold) crazy — and reveals an emotional vulnerability.”

Aside from Morgan, Crutch stars Jermaine Fowler (Superior Donuts), Kecia Lewis (Hell’s Kitchen), Adrianna Mitchell (Snowfall), Adrian Martinez (The Amateur), Braxton Paul (Sesame Street), and Finn Maloney (Suncoast).

Is there a trailer?

Yes! Check out the teaser trailer above.

The trailer opens with Crutch sitting on a subway seat next to a man in a unicorn onesie. “Do you need a hug?” the man asked. “Do you need a fist?” Crutch replied.

Crutch is then seen talking to Calvin and Tina, who tell him to let them know if he needs anything. “I do have one question,” he said.

“We didn’t mean right now,” Calvin replied.

Was there another The Neighborhood spinoff?

There was, but it was shelved. It would have been about the Butler sons, Marty (Marcel Spears) and Malcolm, as they tackled a new adventure by leaving their family’s nest to kick off the next chapters of their lives. Their next chapter would have been in Venice Beach, which they moved to in the Season 7 finale.
