Rooster is an HBO Max comedy from Bill Lawrence, the co-creator of Ted Lasso, Scrubs and Shrinking, developed with Matt Tarses. Premiering in March 2026, it hands Steve Carell one of his richest television roles since The Office and became a breakout hit for the platform, blending warm character comedy with a streak of midlife melancholy.

Carell plays Greg Russo, a middle-aged author who arrives at a small New England college ostensibly to give a talk, but whose real mission is to check up on his adult daughter Katie, an art-history instructor whose marriage is falling apart. Charly Clive plays Katie, with Danielle Deadwyler, Phil Dunster, John C. McGinley and Lauren Tsai rounding out a campus ensemble full of complications.

The series became HBO's most-watched comedy premiere in more than a decade, drawing millions of viewers in its opening days, and was quickly renewed for a second season. Carell earned an Emmy nomination for the role, anchoring a show about the messy business of being needed. It is streaming on HBO Max.
