What happens

Crawford is a Canadian television comedy series that aired on CBC Television in 2018. Created by Mike Clattenburg and Mike O'Neill, the series stars Jill Hennessy and John Carroll Lynch as Cynthia and Owen, the parents of a dysfunctional family. Kyle Mac stars as their middle son, Don, who comes home to make his new record after he is kicked out of his band, but discovers his ability to speak to raccoons which takes him on a new career path. Alice Moran stars as his older sister, Wendy, who's trying to find her place in the world as well; Daniel Davis Yang stars as their younger brother Brian, who has an uncanny talent at bringing the family together, despite their differences. The cast also includes Chad Connell, Tim Progosh, Steffi DiDomenicantonio, Megan Hutchings, Dalmar Abuzeid, Kelly McCormack, Steven McCarthy and Supinder Wraich. The series is following a "hybrid" release strategy, under which the show was released in its entirety on the CBC Comedy web platform in February 2018, in advance of airing on the regular television network later that summer.
