Overview
- Paramount+ officially canceled Crutch, with outlets reporting the move on Friday after the streamer declined to pursue a second season.
- The eight-episode first season was taped before a live audience in fall 2024 and premiered on Paramount+ on November 3, 2025.
- Executives cited weak viewership and expired cast options that left principal actors free to take other work, a factor that effectively closed the door on renewal.
- Star Tracy Morgan is now committed to NBC’s The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, which launched in early 2026 and was renewed for a second season in May, and other cast members have moved to new projects.
- Crutch was produced by CBS Studios with Cedric The Entertainer among the executive producers and won strong critical praise, but the cancellation reflects Paramount+’s shift toward drama franchises and away from original multi‑camera sitcoms.
