Washington DC [US], October 6 : The makers of actor Tracy Morgan starrer 'Crutch' have released its trailer on Monday. The series is a spinoff of the hit sitcom 'The Neighborhood'. The spinoff is set to premiere on November 3.
Set in the world of the CBS program 'The Neighborhood', the 'Crutch' centres on Francois "Frank" Crutchfield, who is played by Tracy Morgan.
The actor plays the role of a brash, yet beloved Harlem shop owner whose world is turned upside down when his highbrow son (Jermaine Fowler) and free-spirited daughter (Adrianna Mitchell) move back into the family home (along with the grandkids), reported Deadline.
In the trailer, Crutch introduces his grandkids to the reality of living in NYC. "Pay attention kids. You all are getting your first lessons in the dos and don'ts of riding the subway in NY," he instructed.
His advice, "If you see a dollar bill on the floor, don't pick it up," he warns. "I thought picking up money was good luck?," questions his grandson (Finn Maloney). "It's a trick. That's how they caught Martha Stewart," Crutch replied as heard in the trailer.
The series also stars Tony Award winner Kecia Lewis (Hell's Kitchen) and Braxton Paul (Sesame Street).
Paramount+ has shared the trailer of the series on their Instagram handle today.
