NBC has joined other networks in adding to the slew of cancellations on television. It was announced that a new fan-favorite comedy series would be canceled after just one season. Continue reading for the details about what the latest cancellation is and what’s behind it.
NBC Decides Against Renewing New Comedy Series
Extended Family was granted a pilot episode in 2022. The pilot wound up being a great success and several big names signed up to be part of the show. Some of the names included in the project were Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men), Abigail Spencer (Grey’s Anatomy), and Donald Faison (Scrubs).
However, when they started filming, it was delayed by the strikes, which went on for several months. They were able to film six episodes before the strikes, leaving the remaining seven episodes left to film once production resumed four days after the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Extended Family — ” — Pictured: (l-r) Jon Cryer as Jim, Abigail Spencer as Julia — (Photo by: Ron Batzdorff/NBC) When Jon Cryer had his breakout role in the film Pretty in Pink, Abigail Spencer was just five years old. Like Cryer, Spencer found success as an actor while she was still a teen. And, despite the age gap, she is now starring as Cryer’s ex-wife on the sitcom Extended Family. When we talked to Spencer, she admitted she’s been a fan of Cryer’s for a long, long time, and she’s thrilled to finally get the opportunity to work with him. (Click on the media below to hear Abigail Spencer) https://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Abigail_Spencer_Extnded_Family_Jon_Cryer_.mp3 Extended Family airs Tuesdays at 8:30/7:30c on NBC, and episodes start streaming the following day on Peacock.

Duckie may have had it out for Blane, but the feud extended behind the scenes as well, as Jon Cryer and Andrew McCarthy did not jive while making teen movie classic Pretty in Pink. Now, Cryer says that has all settled…but who gets to go home with Andie?
Appearing on The View (per Entertainment Weekly), Jon Cryer said of Andrew McCarthy, “He and I famously did not get along when we were shooting Pretty in Pink…It was because there was tension. Interestingly, I saw him backstage and we had a lovely time, we had a great talk. Thank you!”
Cryer went on to detail why he and McCarthy didn’t get along during Pretty in Pink, citing issues that were far deeper that what we see onscreen. “At any rate, what I realize now, he wrote a terrific memoir called Brat, he was already struggling with alcoholism back...

Charlie Sheen reunited with former boss Chuck Lorre on the set of Bookie… so does that mean a Two and a Half Men reboot is imminent? Jon Cryer has his doubts. “Oh gosh, oh gosh, yeah, I don’t know how that happens,” Cryer said about a possible reboot during Friday’s episode of The View. The actor acknowledged that it’s “wonderful” that Sheen is “doing a lot better” since the days of his 2011 feud with Lorre and subsequent exit from Two and a Half Men. (Sheen told Yahoo Entertainment in 2021 that his erratic behavior was “an unfortunate sequence of public and insane events” that he attributed to “drugs or the residual effects of drugs” and “an ocean of stress and a volcano of disdain.”) “[Sheen] and I have not spoken in a few years, but he’s doing a lot better, which obviously I’m happy about,” Cryer added on Friday.

Jon Cryer isn’t jumping at the idea of a Two and a Half Men reboot with Charlie Sheen.
During a recent appearance on The View, the actor was asked if he thought there could be an opportunity for a reboot of the hit CBS sitcom, which ran from 2003 to 2015, in the future.
“Oh gosh, oh gosh. Yeah, I don’t know how that happens,” Cryer admitted. “I mean the thing is, Charlie is doing a lot better now which is wonderful. He and I have not spoken in a few years but he’s doing a lot better, which obviously I am happy about. And obviously, Chuck Lorre, who produced Two and a Half Men… one of the hardest things for him when Two and a Half Men fell apart the way it did was he really thought he was friends with Charlie. And that he lost that was really hard for him.

Jon Cryer appeared on the Feb. 9 episode of “The View” and more or less shot down the idea of a “Two and a Half Men” reboot ever being made. Cryer starred on the CBS mega-hit sitcom for 12 seasons, eight of which he co-headlined with Charlie Sheen. Ashton Kutcher replaced Sheen for the final four seasons after Sheen exited the show amid controversy over comments he made about creator Chuck Lorre. Production on the show’s eighth season was cut short after Sheen checked into rehab for drugs.
“Oh gosh, oh gosh I don’t know how that happens,” Cryer said about a reboot. “Thing is, Charlie is doing a lot better now which is wonderful.

Fans hoping for a Two and a Half Men reboot shall go wanting, at least when it comes to Jon Cryer getting back to business with Charlie Sheen. Cryer, who co-starred with Charlie Sheen and Angus T. Jones on the CBS sitcom, is aware of the demand for a reunion but feels Sheen may have poisoned the well. Speaking with The View, Jon Cryer confessed that he feels the ship has sailed for a Two and Half Men reboot, saying he would prefer to focus on his new sitcom, Extended Family.
Discussing the possibility of a Two and Half Men reboot, Cryer told Alyssa Farah Griffin of The View he’s aware of Sheen mending the once-broken bridge between himself and the sitcom’s producer Chuck Lorre. However, he’s uninterested in giving the Two and a Half Men formula another try. In so many words, Cryer said Sheen sabotaged...

Jon Cryer has no particular interest in erasing the Ashton Kutcher era of Two and a Half Men and revisiting the CBS sitcom with former co-star Charlie Sheen.
During an appearance on Friday’s episode of The View, the two-time Emmy winner was asked if he’d ever consider a revival of Two and a Half Men now that Sheen and series co-creator Chuck Lorre have buried the hatchet — and his response suggested that he would not be willing to open that door again.

Update, with video: Probably best not to hold your breath for any possible Two and a Half Men reboots. Jon Cryer doesn’t seem to be.
Cryer, who co-starred with Charlie Sheen on the famously troubled but immensely popular CBS 2003-2015 sitcom, visited The View today to promote his latest series, the NBC sitcom Extended Family. When the inevitable question about the possibility of a Two and a Half Men reboot series, Cryer was considerably less than enthusiastic.
When View co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out that Sheen had recently rekindled his friendship with Men producer Chuck Lorre (the two are working on the Max comedy Bookie), she asked whether Cryer would be open to a Men reboot.
But Cryer suggested that Sheen sabotaged the show’s initial run, and that the prospect of working together again “for any length of time” is not a high priority for the Pretty in Pink actor.

Jon Cryer has proved himself a marketable quantity in the network sitcom game, a success most recently reflected in his starring role on the new NBC and Peacock show “Extended Family.”
Cryer, in an interview on the “Wtf With Marc Maron” podcast, recalled a key effort that helped cement that status — his part on the hit Charlie Sheen-starring sitcom “Two and a Half Men.”
Cryer said he remembered how Sheen’s role came together and how CBS played a big part.
“CBS wanted Charlie Sheen on the air so badly, and you could sense that,” Cryer said. “Based on, he had done ‘Spin City’ for a couple of seasons, and everybody was like, ‘Wow, he’s really good.’ Cause he took over for Michael J. Fox, and everybody said, ‘That is a bad idea.’ And then he turned out to be good on the show, with a totally different character.

If there’s one character that Jon Cryer will forever be linked to, it’s Duckie from Pretty in Pink. The hopeless romantic who pines for Molly Ringwald’s Andie, he was the charming underdog that gave the audience someone to root for. And while he didn’t get the girl (although he did in the original ending), Duckie remains a key character not just in ‘80s teen movies but for Jon Cryer himself, saying he continues to be a role model.
Speaking with People, Jon Cryer said, “Duckie was very aspirational for me, because he was the guy I wish I was.” The actor, who was never part of the Brat Pack but danced around it (literally) through Pretty in Pink, added that he – and some classmates – shared many characteristics with Duckie. “I think that really is a universal experience for most people…I don’t think most people go through high school thinking,...

Jon Cryer is revealing which character from his past projects he wishes he was more like.
During an interview with People magazine, published online Thursday, the actor said he is still recognized for his role as Duckie in 1986’s Pretty in Pink, which he appreciates.
“Duckie was very aspirational for me, because he was the guy I wish I was,” the Extended Family actor said.
Being a self-proclaimed “theater dork” in high school, Cryer said he realized he was a “funny person,” but wished he had more confidence.
“I was actually decently good at this being on stage thing,’” he told the outlet. “But I never had the confidence I think that Duckie had, and I wish I did, because he really lived his life out loud in a way I could only aspire to.”

In the aftermath of Must-See TV, there was a stretch of time when it seemed like NBC was doing comedy outreach for TV critics, constantly renewing shows like Parks and Recreation and The Good Place and Superstore not because they had huge audiences, but because the audiences they possessed were fervent and vocal.
With the initial success of the Night Court reboot and the cancelation of the ostensibly edgier or more niche — some, like me, might say “better,” but to each their own — American Auto and Grand Crew, it wouldn’t be unreasonable for NBC to think that the way forward is broader and more traditional comedies.
If NBC’s new Extended Family is an example of that way forward, there are, at least, worse fates. This is a multi-camera family sitcom of the most traditional type, with a premise so thin it’s barely a premise at all. In...

Could a Two and a Half Men reunion be on the cards? Jon Cryer isn’t ruling out the possibility, especially now that the show’s creator, Chuck Lorre, and lead star, Charlie Sheen, have patched up their differences. Speaking to ETOnline, Cryer, who played Alan Harper on all 262 episodes of the hit CBS sitcom, said of a potential reunion, “I’m not going to rule anything out, but I haven’t talked to Charlie.” “I’m really glad they made up,” he continued, referring to Lorre and Sheen putting their past problems behind them. “I can only say for Chuck, clearly. He has the enormous relief of somebody who’s been able to rekindle a friendship that was really meaningful to him.” Lorre and Sheen had publicly fallen out with one another towards the end of Two and a Half Men, and the tensions have lingered in the years since the show ended.

DC Entertainment has some of the most iconic superheroes in modern fiction, including Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. These characters have been adapted and reimagined for the silver screen and small screen for decades, often boasting some of Hollywood's biggest names in front of and behind the camera. However, not every actor who's appeared in a DC movie has had a completely satisfying production experience or fully enjoy the final films that they star in. These sentiments are often attached to specific scenes, striking a negative chord for the actor involved for a myriad of reasons.
From intense creative disagreements on how their characters should be portrayed to thoroughly uncomfortable behind-the-scenes ordeals, certain DC Comics movie scenes leave negative impressions on the actors in them. These raw feelings exist for some actors even years after the movie itself has since been released. Here are some of the DC movie scenes...

Extended Family — Pictured: (l-r) Donald Faison as Trey, Abigail Spencer as Julia, Jon Cryer as Jim — (Photo by: Chris Haston/NBC) Extended Family, a new sitcom from creator Mike O’Malley, tells the story of a divorced couple who decide to maintain an unusual post-parting relationship, with their kids staying at the family’s home, and the parents taking turns living there with them. Former Scrubs star Donald Faison complicates matters when he becomes engaged to the mother, setting up an interesting dynamic between him and Cryer. But regardless of how the characters may feel about each other on the show, Faison says getting to work with Cryer has been absolutely amazing.

“We’re in the midst of a casting emergency. We’ve got to find a 7-foot-tall basketball player, and that’s tricky. A Serbian,” explains Jon Cryer as to why his phone keeps pinging during an interview. The actor, famous for 12 seasons of Two and a Half Men, was in a full-court press to get his new sitcom, Extended Family, running at full speed after a production pause due to the actors’ strike. Cryer plays affable Jim Kearney, amicably split from dynamo crisis manager Julia Mariano (Timeless star Abigail Spencer). They’re proud “pillars of divorce society,” as Spencer says. Their kids, 13-year-old Grace (Sofia Capanna) and 11-year-old Jimmy Jr. (Finn Sweeney), stay at the house, called “the nest,” while mom and dad take turns living with them. It’s a slam-dunk setup until Julia announces she’s marrying Trey Taylor (Scrubs vet Donald Faison), the wealthy owner of the NBA’s Boston Celtics.

As soon as the third episode of the current season of “Succession” aired, viewers began speculating about whether certain previously Emmy-nominated cast members would change categories based on their characters’ new levels of prominence. The first to switch was Kieran Culkin, who is officially seeking his first lead notice for playing Roman Roy after competing twice as a featured player. If he does land in the Best Drama Actor lineup, he will be only the sixth man in Emmys history to have reaped lead and supporting bids for a single role on a single series.
Culkin has appeared as a regular on all four seasons of “Succession” and achieved TV academy recognition in both 2020 and 2022. He was respectively bested in those supporting contests by Billy Crudup (“The Morning Show”) and his own “Succession” cast mate, Matthew Macfadyen.
