A comedy series with a heart from HBO, with Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses serving as co-showrunners, how can we resist? Especially when we're talking about a cast that includes Steve Carell, Charly Clive, Danielle Deadwyler, Phil Dunster, John C. McGinley, and Lauren Tsai. That alone was enough to sell us on the ten-episode first season of Rooster, set to make its debut on Sunday, March 8th, at 10 pm ET/PT (and will be available to stream on HBO Max), and drop weekly episodes after that. Set on a college campus, the comedy centers on an author's (Carell) complicated relationship with his daughter (Clive). Of course, further complicating the matter is that his daughter burnt down a faculty house and punched a faculty member in the face – and that's not even close to the only drama in play, as you're about to see. We're a sucker for an excellent college-based comedy-drama (Wonder Boys is still one of our favorites), so we're looking forward to this one. Along with a look at the official trailer that was released earlier today (waiting for you above), we also have a look at the key art poster and image gallery that accompanied it:
