Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses‘s new HBO comedy Rooster, starring Steve Carell, may only be halfway through airing its first season, but the show has officially been renewed for Season 2.
This means that the series about a writer who begins working at Ludlow College as a way to support his daughter’s career, following an unexpected hurdle in her marriage will continue. As Season 1 continues to unfold, we’re breaking down everything we know about Rooter‘s second season already, including what Lawrence and Tarses have shared with us regarding their plan for the series as well as who is likely to return, when Season 2 could air, and much more.
