Two years ago, The Neighborhood introduced us to Calvin’s (Cedric the Entertainer) brother Curtis, who was played by Tracy Morgan.
Today, Paramount+ announced that Tracy Mogan is getting a spinoff of The Neighborhood on the streaming service. However, this time, he will be playing Calvin’s cousin Crutch.
The series centers on its titular character, Francois “Frank” Crutchfield—or “Crutch” to those who 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.
“I’m excited to be expanding our ‘The Neighborhood’ universe, by producing a show with the legendary comedian Tracy Morgan,” said Cedric The Entertainer. “This new character is the close cousin to my character Calvin Butler and you will enjoy some of their many similarities. Morgan plays Crutch a ‘say-it-like-it-is’ widowed father who is challenged when his two adult children and grandchildren need to move back home, and let’s say there will be several comedic complications.”
“Crutch will be navigating the ups and downs of having his kids and grandkids back under one roof, and you know if I am doing this, there will be plenty of laughs along the way,” said Tracy Morgan. “I am so happy to be able to do this with my brother Cedric The Entertainer, Owen Smith and the rest of the amazing crew we have put together. Get ready for your new favorite show!”
The good news is that Evil will be back on Paramount+ on May 23rd. The bad news is that it is the final season. However, after watching the trailer, I think it looks devilishly good.
In the upcoming season, Kristen, David and Ben continue to assess cases that involve wayward technology, possessed pigs, demonic oppression and infestation, a dance muse conjured by alleged witches and an evil relic. Throughout, Leland attempts to lure Kristen into raising a baby antichrist who was conceived with her ovum. David is recruited by the Vatican’s secret service to “remote view” a paranormal ability to see the unseen in order to detect evil. Ben is hit by an ion beam, causing him to see visions of a taunting jinn until he discovers an unusual solution to banish it. Finally, all three realize they only have a few weeks left to assess cases because the parish has decided to disband the team due to a lack of funds. This culminates in one last confrontation with Leland and the 60 families that make up Evil in the modern world.
I hate that the show is ending. But it looks like it is going out in a satisfying way.
It took years for Kelsey Grammer to get his Fraiser sequel on the air. But it took less than a year for Paramount+ to order a second season.
“Frasier is a love story, and I am very happy we will be allowed to continue it. I’m delighted that our partners at CBS Studios and Paramount+ are on board for another season, and I can’t wait for the fans to see what we have in store!” said Kelsey Grammer, star and executive producer of Frasier.
Can I tell you? I tried to watch the original series several times, but I never got into it. However, I love this updated series.
If you missed it, you can stream both takes of Frasier on Paramount+.
Evil is a show that has been as cursed as its storyline. It debuted on CBS, got cancelled, picked up by Paramount+, and then it got delayed by both the pandemic and the strikes.
And now, it has finally met its match. That is because the streaming service announced today that this season will be the supernatural drama’s final one.
“Robert and Michelle King created a unique and deeply entertaining way of exploring the intersection of religion and science,” said Jeff Grossman, Executive Vice President, Programming, Paramount+. “We thank Robert, Michelle and the immensely talented cast and crew of EVIL and are incredibly proud of their collective work on the series. We can’t wait to see what’s in store for these characters, in what is sure to be a nail-biting, wild ride of a final season.”
The fourth season premiers in May. And I can’t wait to see how it ends.
Sarah Michelle Gellar cheated on Vampires with Werewolves in Wolf Pack on Paramount+ and it didn’t work out for her.
That is because Edo von Belkom, the author of the book that the series was based on, announced today, “Well, after just about a full year of uncertainty, the hammer finally fell today in Hollywood and news came out that Wolf Pack has been officially cancelled.”
The show is another causality of the strikes. Or it could be that Gellar has had bad luck with shows ever since Buffy the Vampire Slayer ended.
Are you sad that Wolf Pack won’t return for another full moon?
