Paramount+ Axes Tracy Morgan Comedy 'Crutch' After One Season

Paramount+ has concluded its multi-camera comedy series "Crutch," starring Tracy Morgan, confirming that there will be no second season. The decision was effectively made late last year when the cast options expired, signaling the end of the show. This move aligns with a broader programming shift announced earlier this year by Cindy Holland, Chair of Direct-to-Consumer, who indicated that multi-camera comedies would no longer be a focus for the streamer.

Despite "Crutch" achieving a rare 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, its cancellation reflects Paramount+'s strategic pivot. Tracy Morgan, who played Francois "Frank" Crutchfield, a Harlem shop owner, has already moved on to other projects, including a new NBC series. Other cast members have also pursued different opportunities, making the continuation of "Crutch" unfeasible.
