Discover everything there is to know about the upcoming sitcom Extended Family on NBC, including the cast and debut dates, below.

The official trailer for Extended Family hints at what happens when Jim and Julia decide to keep raising their children at the family home following a civil divorce, however they will alternate who gets to stay with them. Jim finds it increasingly difficult to navigate the seas of divorce and child-sharing when Trey, the owner of his beloved sports team, enters the picture and captures Julia’s heart.

Eddie Gorodetsky and Mike O’Malley produced Extended Family. For around twenty years, Gorodetsky was one of Chuck Lorre’s closest collaborators on Dharma & Greg and Two and a Half Men.

Acclaimed for his acting roles in series including Glee and Yes, Dear, O’Malley has also written and produced for Showtime’s Shameless and most recently served as showrunner for Starz’s Heels, where he portrays Charlie Gully. He is currently listed on Extended Family as both an executive producer and writer.

What To Expect?

With a modern spin, Extended Family is a sitcom for blended families. The two main characters, Jim and Julia, who are played by Jon Cryer and Abigail Spencer, respectively, are a civilly separated couple. The ex-couples decide to raise their children at the family house after their divorce, with each parent taking turns residing there.

When Trey (Donald Faison), the owner of Jim’s favorite sports team, begins dating Julia, things become more complicated. Jim, a father who recently got divorced, asks his ex-wife and her boyfriend for assistance after a pet goldfish accident.

The unanticipated outcomes of this trio’s solution strengthen the bonds of their unorthodox co-parenting arrangement, which is still developing. Trey surprises Grace by getting her a reservation at Boston’s top sushi restaurant for her birthday. This upsets the family’s yearly ritual of having dinner at a red sauce restaurant and unintentionally offends Jim.

Cast Of The Show

From 2003 until 2015, Cryer portrayed Alan Harper on Two and a Half Men. After that, he made appearances on Arrow, The Flash, The Ranch, and NCIS. But he’s making a big comeback to television with Extended Family.

Naturally, an overview of Cryer wouldn’t be complete without including his role as Duckie in Pretty in Pink. Spencer gained notoriety for her role as Mad Men’s Suzanne Farrell, a romantic interest of Don Draper.

She is also known for her recurrent part on Grey’s Anatomy as Owen’s sister, Megan Hunt. As Dr. Christopher Turk on Scrubs, Faison established himself on television. As Murray in Clueless, he left his impact on a generation.

The children of Extended Family are portrayed by two up-and-coming actors: Finn Sweeney (Jimmy Jr.) and Sofia Capanna (Grace), who is somewhat new to the business but has three notable credits: American Crime Story, Barry, and Platonic.

In addition, Cryer is well-known for his part as Alan Harper in the 2003–2015 television series Two and a Half Men, co-starring Charlie Sheen. Cryer won two Emmy Awards for the role in 2009 and 2012: Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
