As a Christmas Treat, John Cryer’s “ExTended Family” Will Air Pilot on December 23rd With Holiday Sport Spirit.

It’s the norm that parents divorce, move on then remarry.

John Cryer’s new and latest TV series, “ExTended Family” is all about the new norm.

Set in Boston, John plays Jim, a divorced Celtic fan dad whose publicist ex-wife Julia  played by Abigail Spencer, who moved onto being engaged to the Celtics’ owner, Trey, played Donald Faison. 

The tween kids, Jimmy Jr. and Gracie,  just have to accept the changes and learn to enjoy the ride.

That’s explanatory premise of the premiere episode that will air on December 23rd.

It opens with Julia and Trey shocking Gracie that they’re engaged.

Now that Gracie is engaged to Celtic’s president, her ex, Jim enjoys the swag in the VIP Lounge at every game while their son, Jimmy Jr. thinks this is cool.

Just in time for Christmas, Trey pulled Jim into being an impromptu therapist for a nervous new Celtics’ recruit, who was planning to be a priest.

Jim better pull a Christmas miracle, if he wants his Christmas wish.

After its December 23rd premiere, John Cryer’s “ExTended Family” will move to its real time slot on Tuesday nights, at 8:30 pm, on NBC.

A new, real family sitcom for today’s family dynamics.
