Every film or TV show I’ve seen Steve Carell act in has instantly made me fall in love with him — and I’m thrilled to announce that the actor will be returning to the small screen in HBO's highly anticipated new series, Rooster. His versatility, from comedy to drama, proves his impressive skills. He also has a natural warmth about him that draws me in, as well as the rest of the world, who have fallen in love with him since his debut.
Whether he’s simply there for laughs, like in Anchorman and The Four Seasons, or if he’s ready to tear your soul open in half via his melodramas à la Little Miss Sunshine and Beautiful Boy, he never fails to steal every scene he’s in. Like, how can one man so effectively portray the full spectrum of human emotion in a single scene? It’s truly no small feat, and The Office alum has a knack for dazzling audiences with every role he snags.
And while some details about the new show are still under wraps at the moment, here are all the details we’ve managed to dig up so far.
Keep reading for everything you need to know about Rooster, coming to HBO soon.
What is Rooster on HBO about?
HBO
The upcoming HBO series will follow Carell’s character (an author) onto a college campus, as he attempts to navigate his extremely complex relationship with his daughter. This isn’t the first time the 63-year-old actor has explored such a dynamic on screen. We’ve seen him portray the heartbroken father of a son addicted to crystal meth in Beautiful Boy, where he stars alongside a young Timothee Chalamet.
We’ve also witnessed a similar setup in the recent Netflix adaptation of The Four Seasons, in which Carell tries to repair his relationship with his college-age daughter, who has iced him out completely after he left his wife for a younger woman. Since he’s such a seasoned pro when it comes to this dynamic, it’ll be interesting to see what comes of this familiar setup in Rooster.
