Brooklyn Nine-Nine star is back in uniform: Terry Crews will lead in Jumpstart as Joe Cobb, a police officer.
The multi-cam CBS comedy pilot based on Robb Armstrong’s popular and long-running comic strip will “follow Joseph L. Cobb, a cop, his wife Marcy, a nurse, and Joe’s partner Crunchy. Joe and Marcy are young, hip, urban parents with old school values who are willing to sacrifice for their kids and have some laughs while doing it!”
“Crews’ Joe Cobb is a devoted husband, son, father and Philadelphia police officer. He is also a proud Black man and often feels pressured to be flawless in each of his roles, especially in light of controversies surrounding cops. He is a charming and exuberant role model in his community. Joe loves his wife and family, but does come up short in hilarious and endearing ways that keep audiences cheering for him.”
Crews will also executive produce the pilot, alongside Wayne Conley (writer), Aaron Kaplan and Frankel (Capital Entertainment), Bridget McMeel (Andrews McMeel Entertainment) and Wendi Trilling (TrillTV). The creator of Jumpstart, Robb Armstrong, will co-executive produce. Phill Lewis will direct and executive produce the pilot and CBS will produce.
