The Neighborhood Spinoff 'Crutch' Drops Hilarious and Heartfelt Trailer

Move over, Calvin Butler. There’s a new family man in town and he goes by Crutch. Paramount+ has officially dropped the trailer for Crutch, the much-anticipated spinoff of CBS’s hit sitcom The Neighborhood, and it’s everything fans didn’t know they needed. With Tracy Morgan leading the charge as Francois “Frank” Crutchfield — a brash, lovable Harlem widower — this trailer proves Crutch is not just riding the coattails of its predecessor. It’s kicking down the sitcom door and bringing its own chaotic flavor.

In the newly released trailer, we meet Crutch as he’s finally embracing his solo life after years of raising kids. Cue the record scratch: both his adult children move back home, along with their baggage, drama, and an uncanny ability to wreck his peace. Sound familiar? Yes. But also no. While The Neighborhood has always been about the clash of cultures and community, Crutch is laser-focused on the hilarious mess of family dysfunction with a New York edge.

Morgan’s signature delivery adds a fresh energy to the universe, and his chemistry with guest appearances — including a confirmed crossover with Cedric the Entertainer’s Calvin — feels like sitcom gold. The trailer balances sharp one-liners with heartwarming moments, hinting at a show that knows when to hit the funny bone and when to pull the heartstrings.

Premiering November 3 on Paramount+, Crutch is timed perfectly to ride the wave of fall premieres and will get an intro boost with a crossover episode on The Neighborhood. Smart move, network execs.

Bottom line? Crutch looks like it’s here to stir the pot and serve up laughs with a side of family chaos. And honestly, we’re ready for seconds. Want more updates, snarky takes, and behind-the-scenes buzz? You know where to find us — right here at The TV Cave.
