Steve Carell Seeks His Inner Badass in Trailer for HBO’s Rooster: Watch

The new HBO series Rooster, according to the official description, is “a comedy set on a college campus centering on an author’s (Steve Carell) complicated relationship with his daughter (Charly Clive).” Carell is an author, you see, whose sex-filled novels have landed him a plum job as a college professor, despite the mess that’s become of his personal life.

Rooster is showrun by Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses, with a cast that also includes Danielle Deadwyler, Phil Dunster, John C. McGinley, and Lauren Tsai. The series premieres March 8th on HBO and HBO Max. Check out the new trailer below, and revisit our review of Carell’s last HBO project, the Jesse Armstrong-directed original film Mountainhead.
