Extended Family S1
Emmy winner Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men), Teen Choice nominee Donald Faison (Scrubs, Clueless), and Critics Choice nominee Abigail Spencer (Rectify) star in Extended Family.
Following an amicable divorce, Jim and Julia decide to continue to raise their kids at the family home while taking turns to stay with them. Navigating the waters of divorce and child-sharing gets more complicated for Jim when Trey, the owner of the Boston Celtics, enters the picture and wins Julia’s heart.
Calling it “genuinely funny” and a “subversive split from sitcom tropes,” Wall Street Journal said, “the domestic comedy… has traditionally been about a happy family beset by outside forces… In Extended Family the calls are coming from inside the house.”
Extended Family is created by Emmy-nominated and Teen Choice-winning Glee and Heels actor Mike O’Malley, who created Survivor’s Remorse, and wrote on Heels and Shameless.
