'Crutch' Canceled After One Season at Paramount+
------------------------------------------------
The Paramount+ multi-cam comedy "Crutch" is done after just
one season, Variety has learned.

The series, which starred Tracy Morgan in the title role,
originally debuted on Paramount+ back in November 2025.

News of the series ending comes as little surprise, as it
failed to find a significant audience upon its debut and
considering Morgan's commitment to other projects. Most
notably, Morgan now stars in the NBC comedy "The Fall and
Rise of Reggie Dinkins." That show debuted on NBC in
January 2026 and was renewed for a second season in May.
In addition, cast options expired some time ago with many
moving on to other projects.

With the cancellation, Paramount+ just one live-action
comedy on its current slate, with that being the Australian
import "Colin from Accounts." The streamer is instead
focused on its dramas like Taylor Sheridan's "Landman" and
"Yellowstone" spinoff "Dutton Ranch" as well as the British
crime drama "MobLand" among others.

"Crutch" follows its titular character Francois "Frank"
Crutchfield (Morgan), who goes by "Crutch," who is described
as "a brash, yet beloved Harlem shop owner who finds his
world turned upside down when his highbrow son and
free-spirited daughter move back into the Crutchfield family
home."

The series was set in the world of "The Neighborhood," one of
CBS' original comedy series, with Morgan appearing in a
crossover episode of that show the same day that "Crutch"
debuted on Paramount+.

Additional cast members for "Crutch" included Jermaine Fowler,
Kecia Lewis, Adrianna Mitchell, Adrian Martinez, Braxton Paul,
and Finn Maloney.

"Crutch" hailed from Cedric The Entertainer and his production
company, A Bird and a Bear Entertainment. The series is
executive produced by Cedric The Entertainer and Eric C. Rhone
and created by Owen Smith who served as executive producer and
showrunner. Executive producers for "Crutch" included Aaron
Kaplan for Kapital Entertainment, Wendi Trilling for TrillTV,
Mike Mariano and, Morgan. The series was produced by CBS
Studios and distributed by Paramount Global Content
Distribution outside of Paramount+ markets.
