Trailer released for NBC's new comedy series Extended Family

Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men) returns to comedy on NBC's Extended Family, starring alongside Abigail Spencer and Donald Faison. Created by Mike O'Malley, the series follows Jim (Cryer) and Julia (Spencer) after an amicable divorce, where they decide to raise their children at home and take turns deciding who gets to stay with them. Navigating the waters of divorce and child sharing becomes more complicated for Jim when Trey (Faison), the owner of his favorite sports team, enters the picture and wins Julia's heart.

The network just dropped a first look at the comedy in which the cast talks about their experience working together.



“It’s a throuple but not in the naughty way,” Spencer says in the featurette of the premise of the show.

Spencer also notes that she had “been admiring and watching Jon Cryer’s work for many, many a year and to actually be able to be in the scenes with him is really unbelievable.” Faison echoed Spencer’s sentiment about working opposite the Two and a Half Men alum saying “Is a dream come true.”

The cast also includes Sofia Capanna and Finn Sweeney. O'Malley is showrunner and executive producer. Tom Werner, Jon Cryer, Wyc Grousbeck, Emilia Fazzalari, George Geyer, Victor Levin, Victoria Morrow and James Widdoes also produce.

Lionsgate produces in association with Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group. Extended Family premieres Tuesday, January 2 on NBC.
