Live every week like you just heard Tracy Morgan is coming back to TV.
The comedian will star in a new TBS show set not in Midtown Manhattan like "30 Rock" but Brooklyn, the New York Times reported Monday.
The yet-untitled show will follow a father, played by Morgan, returning to his "newly gentrified Brooklyn neighborhood" after 15 years in prison and the twin sons he never knew existed, according to a TBS press release. The 10-episode series will "capture the rawness of Tracy’s stand up persona while also commenting on race relations, the Gen X/Millennial gap and the American penal system," the release says.
This is the 47-year-old comedian's first major role since he suffered a traumatic brain injury in the 2014 car accident that killed his friend and colleague James McNair.
Morgan performed his first stand-up show since the crash at the Comedy Cellar in Greenwich Village last October. He hosted an episode of "Saturday Night Live" that same week, reprising his familiar sketch characters Brian Fellows, Woodrow and Astronaut Jones.
The comedian will serve as executive producer of the new TBS series, alongside creators Jordan Peele, of Comedy Central's "Key & Peele", and John Carcieri, of HBO's "Vice Principals".
When you'll be able to watch the show remains a mystery. TBS told DNAinfo it doesn't have a premiere date set.
