“Some of the kids think I’m kinda of like my character…” HBO Max has revealed the first official trailer for a college comedy series called Rooster, arriving to watch starting in March. A new HBO series from the showrunner of “Ted Lasso” & “Shrinking” & creator of “Scrubs”, and also the showrunner of “Bad Monkey” previously. Set on a college campus centering on an acclaimed author’s complicated relationship with his daughter. When he learns that her husband is cheating on her, he attempts to help without overstepping, trying to deal with this complicated, evolving relationship all while navigating a new environment where he feels out of his depth. Of course things get messy and wacky and kind of funny. Steve Carell stars as Greg Russo, with Charly Clive as his daughter Katie. The main cast also includes Danielle Deadwyler, Phil Dunster, John C. McGinley, Alan Ruck, and Lauren Tsai, with recurring roles for Annie Mumolo, Connie Britton, Robby Hoffman, and Scott MacArthur.
