Comedian Christian Finnegan has been cast in the upcoming TBS comedy, Are We There Yet?. The half-hour series is based on the 2005 hit movie that told the story of Nick (Ice Cube), a smooth operator who is trying to land a date with Suzanne (Nia Long), a divorcee stuck working out of town over New Year’s and miserable because she misses her kids. Nick gallantly offers to make her New Year’s wish come true and his own in the process by driving her two children to be reunited with their mom. What Nick doesn’t know is that Suzanne’s children, whom he’s never met, hate every man their mom dates on sight.
In the sitcom, Are We There Yet?, Crews will star as Nick, the character Ice Cube played in the film, and Finnegan will play Nick’s best friend and owner of a sports memorabilia store.
TBS has ordered 10 episodes of the new sitcom, slated to premiere in June 2010, with the option for an additional 90 episodes.
