“Jim and Julia, after an amicable divorce, decide to continue to raise their kids at the family home while taking turns on who gets to stay with them,” per an official description. “Navigating the waters of divorce and child-sharing gets more complicated for Jim when Trey, the owner of his favorite sports team, enters the picture and wins Julia’s heart.”
Extended Family debuts on Saturday, Dec. 23 at 8 PM. It will be followed by a special holiday episode of Night Court, led by The Big Bang Theory’s Melissa Rauch and multi-Emmy Award winner John Larroquette.
