It seems like everything that Bill Lawrence creates these days is going to be a huge success, and Rooster on HBO and HBO Max is no different.
The series is set on a college campus, centering on an author’s (Carell) complicated relationship with his daughter (Charly Clive). The critical darling looks like it will be the network’s most-watched freshman comedy in over a decade, averaging around 6 million viewers in its first four episodes.
Clancy Collins White, President, Creative Affairs, Warner Bros. Television, quote: “ROOSTER is a heartfelt, endearing series, and its second-season renewal is richly deserved. Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses are masters of their craft, bringing their signature heart and humor to life through an incredible cast led by Steve Carell. We’re thrilled to continue this creative journey with HBO and Doozer.”
I keep meaning to watch it because my friend’s daughter is in it. Now that I know it is picked up, I am so going to tune in.
The remaining six episodes for this season will continue to debut on Sundays at 10p.
Bill Lawrence has created two critical darlings in the last few years, and now, after watching the trailer, it looks like his new series, Rooster, will be competing against Ted Lasso and Shrinking at the awards shows.
The comedy is set on a college campus, centering on an author’s (Steve Carell) complicated relationship with his daughter (Charly Clive). The show also stars Danielle Deadwyler, Phil Dunster, John C. McGinley, and Lauren Tsai.
Rooster premieres March 8th on HBO and ends its season on May 10th.

Today was the day that The Kelly Clarkson Show debuted and they had the perfect person to call out her name. Someone who has done it before in a very memorable way. Of course, that person is Steve Carell. Sadly, this time he screamed out her name without getting his chest waxed. That would have been the cherry on top for me. But then again, I am a sadist and that is my favorite scene in the movie.
When it comes to the talk show, it was a good first show. She did a great job interviewing The Rock who filled in for the injured Kevin Hart. Plus, she had some cute interactions with her neighbors, This Is Us and America’s Got Talent. I think the show has a long future ahead of it.

Greg Daniels and Steve Carell worked on a show called The Office together back in the day, and now they are working on a new office space comedy together for Netflix. This one is going to be based on the new military branch Space Force.
You know, one of the many jokes that Donald Trump is wasting our taxpayer dollars on. Which makes me wonder if Netflix is pranking us with this show because it is just so random. I am waiting for them to do another announcement for this show and go April Fools. Do you think it is a real show or they are pulling one over us? Or are you so over the moon about the news, you know it has to be real?
The first trailer is out the Welcome to Marwin. A true story about a man who was beaten so severely, he does not remember the attack.
An attack so devastating not only his mind but also his body. He lost the ability to draw, which is what he did for a living. Therefore, he came up with an alternative to express his creativity. He told his story via dolls. A story so powerful people, he touched the people around him. Now, it is going to be touching more people.
18 years after he was attacked for being different, his story is being told on the big screen and Steve Carrell will be playing him. The movie tugs at our heartstrings and it looks like Carrell could maybe bring home the Oscar for his performance.
The only thing is that Universal should not be pitching it as the feel-good holiday movie because it is not. It has its moments, but it also looks like a real tearjerker. One I cannot wait to see. What about you?
