JUST NOW: Boston celtics owner has officially divorce with….

Boston Celtics fans are set to get a rare look into the family life of the team’s majority owner, Wyc Grousbeck, as his

real-life blended family is the focus of “Extended Family,” a new sitcom that premieres this weekend on NBC.

The show follows a couple who reverse the script on traditional divorce, with the parents coming and going from the

house while their children remain, rather than the children moving back and forth.

“They were going smoothly,” star Jon Cryer stated in an interview, until “the owner of Jim’s favorite sports team just

happens to fall in love with his ex-wife.”

The show’s team, as in real life, is the Boston Celtics. When Emilia Fazzalari and George Geyer split, they wanted to

lessen the burden they’d seen other couples take on their children by creating what they called the “nest,” a house

where the kids live full-time and the parents alternate being with them.

“If you can remove that, we thought it’d be a lot easier on them and the pain would be on us instead of them,” Geyer

told The Boston Globe.

After Fazzalari and Grousbeck committed to each other, Geyer “welcomed me into the family,” Grousbeck told The

Boston Globe during an interview.

According to the Globe, Grousbeck, his wife, and her ex-partner co-wrote the show’s treatment. The larger Boston

sports family is also involved in the production, with Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner, a TV producer who has

worked on “The Crosby Show,” “Roseanne,” and other shows, helping to produce the show. Grousbeck, Fazzalari,

and Geyer are all producers.

Along with Cryer, who plays Geyer in the ensemble, “Extended Family” stars Abigail Spencer (as Fazzalari) and

Donald Faison (as the Celtics owner), with local comedy veteran Lenny Clarke appearing as well.

The sitcom premieres on NBC Saturday at 8 p.m., following the Bengals-Steelers NFL game, before returning to its

usual time slot on Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m. It will also be available for streaming on Peacock.
