Exclusive: Judy Greer (White House Plumbers) is joining season 2 of The Last Thing He Told Me, the sequel to the Apple series from Josh Singer, bestselling author Laura Dave, executive producers Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter, and star/EP Jennifer Garner.

Greer will recur in an undisclosed role alongside Garner, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Angourie Rice and David Morse, who are set to reprise their roles for season two. The second season of the series will expand as Dave’s sequel to her bestselling novel “The Last Thing He Told Me” that’s set for publication in 2025, ahead of the premiere of season two.

The Last Thing He Told Me is a dramatic thriller that follows Hannah Hall (Garner), a woman who must forge a relationship with her 16-year-old stepdaughter Bailey (Rice) in order to find the truth about why her husband has mysteriously disappeared. The complete first season of the 2023 series is now streaming on Apple.

Apple TVs Severance is the perfect blend of mystery, psychology, and suspense. In some respects, its a nuanced, modernist take on the classic Truman Show premise. Dan Ericksons recent smash hit preys upon todays greatest fears by twisting them into an unnervingly recognizable monster. In a society ruled by dispensability and transience, Severance dares to ask what happens to those who are not useful.

Fans of Severance have sung its praises since its 2022 debut, but its not the only serialized existential masterpiece. Back in 2014, ABC introduced its own mind-bending mystery. On paper, Resurrection reads like a rainy weekend page-turner. However, its execution elevated the shows premise to near-cinematic heights.

What Was Resurrection?

Aaron Zelman, best known for his work on Criminal Minds and Law & Order, created the television concept for Resurrection. Resurrection is based on The Returned, a 2013 novel by Jason Mott. Two famed composers created Resurrections score. Blake Neely...

Law & Order is about to gain a new series regular. Known for her role as Abby Lockhart on the NBC medical drama ER, Maura Tierney returns to the network as a new Lieutenant in Season 24 of Law & Order.

The Season 23 finale of Law & Order marked the departure of Camryn Manheim as Lieutenant Kate Dixon from the show. The season finale in question featured Manheim more heavily than previous episodes, her final performance being considered one of the episode's highlights. As reported by TV Insider, Tierney has been cast as the newest Lieutenant. Manheim's departure was announced less than a week before the season finale aired. Her character's departure was not explained in the finale and will likely be explained in Season 24.

AMC has canceled the Bob Odenkirk-led series Lucky Hank after just one season, despite positive critical response. The show followed Odenkirk's character, an unlikely chair of the English department at a badly underfunded school, as he copes with a midlife crisis and his wife questions her choices. Odenkirk's current 14-year run on AMC, thanks to his role as Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, comes to an end with the cancelation of Lucky Hank.

Lucky Hank has come to an unfortunate early conclusion; AMC has canceled the Bob Odenkirk-led series after just one season, per Variety. The comedy-drama followed Odenkirk's William Henry Deveraux Jr., the unlikely chair of the English department at Railton College, a badly underfunded school in the Pennsylvania rust belt, as he copes with a midlife crisis. As his life unravels, his wife, Lily (portrayed by The Killing's Mireille Enos), begins questioning her professional path and choices.

AMC has pulled the plug on the comedy drama series Lucky Hank.

Starring Emmy-nominated Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk, Lucky Hank kept the actor in a starring role on AMC after the Breaking Bad spinoff wrapped up in 2022. Premiering its first season in March, Lucky Hank concluded its eight-episode run in May. It's ever since been unclear if Season 2 would be a go at AMC, but per Deadline, it's now been revealed that the show has been axed with no new episodes on the way.

AMC has canceled “Lucky Hank” after one season, Variety has confirmed.

Based on Richard Russo’s “Straight Man” novel, the eight-episode dramedy follows William Henry “Hank” Devereaux Jr. (Bob Odenkirk), an unlikely chairman in a badly underfunded college in the Pennsylvania rust belt. Just as Hank’s career and home life begins to unravel, his wife Lily (Mirielle Enos) also decides to take a look at some of her past choices that led to her current reality. The series is told in first person from Hank’s point of view.

“We’re proud of ‘Lucky Hank’ and thankful for the work of everyone who brought this unique, playful and deeply human show to viewers, from the talented creative team to our partners at Sony and, of course, Bob, Mireille and the entire cast and crew,” said AMC in a statement. “Unfortunately, we are not able to proceed with a second season,...

It’s more like unlucky Hank.

AMC has canceled Lucky Hank, the drama series starring Bob Odenkirk, after one season.

The series, which marked Odenkirk’s follow-up after Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, wrapped its eight-episode run in May and has been on the bubble during the writers and actors strikes.

The cancellation brings an end to Odenkirk’s run on the network, which dates back to 2009, when he was cast in Breaking Bad. The series concluded its run with a mere 260,000 same-day viewers.

“We’re proud of Lucky Hank and thankful for the work of everyone who brought this unique, playful and deeply human show to viewers, from the talented creative team to our partners at Sony and, of course, Bob, Mireille [Enos] and the entire cast and crew,” AMC said in a statement. “Unfortunately, we are not able to proceed with a second season, but we are glad...

This won’t help his state of mind… Lucky Hank has been canceled after one season.

AMC has axed the Bob Odenkirk-led drama series, which premiered in March.

The series, which is an adaptation of Richard Russo’s novel Straight Man, saw Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul star Odenkirk play William Henry Devereaux, Jr., the unlikely chairman of the English department in a badly underfunded college in the Pennsylvania rust belt, who is somewhere between midlife crisis and full-blown meltdown.

The eight-part series premiered in March and came from Sony Pictures’ Television TriStar TV and Mark Johnson’s Gran Via. Aaron Zelman and Paul Lieberstein adapted the book and served as co-showrunners. The duo exec produced alongside Odenkirk, director Peter Farrelly, Richard Russo, Naomi Odenkirk and Marc Provissiero.

It’s been a tough twelve months, programming wide, for AMC Networks, which at the start of the year axed a...

Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for Season 1 of Lucky Hank.After eight episodes filled with lighthearted humor, enough pathos to make you tear up, and stunning performances from an ensemble cast led by Bob Odenkirk, the dark comedy, Lucky Hank, adapted from Richard Russo’s book Straight Man has officially wrapped up its critically acclaimed first season on AMC. But from the looks of the season finale creating some boiling tensions Sunday night, there is a lot more to come when the Aaron Zelman and Paul Lieberstein-created series makes its sophomore return. In an exclusive interview for Collider with the showrunners about the season finale, the pair break down Hank’s decision following his father’s admission about walking out on him and what our favorite English department chairperson is really experiencing upon that move to New York with Lily, played most effectively by Mireille Enos.

Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for Lucky Hank, Season 1, Episode 5.Thanks to a smart blend of sharp, biting commentary and sarcasm that engages audiences, Lucky Hank has quickly become one of this season’s best new series, and for good reason. With enough humor to prompt belly laughs thanks to quick-witted writing and masterclass performances from an ensemble cast, the Bob Odenkirk-led series from showrunners Aaron Zelman and Paul Lieberstein is a charming, uproarious portrait of a dissatisfied man engulfed by his own insecurities and limitations stemming from an existential crisis. Across its exquisite seven episodes leading up to its Season Finale this Sunday, Lucky Hank masterfully tunes its sweet and salty slice-of-life narrative with that of a family drama sprinkled into a lighthearted workplace comedy that is an affecting walk between hilarity and heartbreak.

“We used to argue for hours,” admits Paul Lieberstein about writing “Lucky Hank” with Aaron Zelman. For our recent webchat he continues, “It was all cured when we realized we agreed on the page almost 100%. We could never agree on what a scene is suppose to be. Then we write the scene and agree completely. But if we then talked about the scene we’ve already written, we’d be disagreeing about why it worked.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

Lieberstein and Zelman developed the AMC series “Lucky Hank” from the Richard Russo novel “Straight Man.” They serve as executive producers and writers on the series. The dark comedy is about English department chair Hank, played by Bob Odenkirk, going through a midlife crisis at an underfunded college. Lieberstein says, “He’s a person who’s doing his best to deal with a bunch of stuff . Whenever he hits adversity in any way,...

AMC has been a big Emmys player in drama races for more than a decade. This year, however, perhaps “Lucky Hank” can get Emmy voters laughing and land some comedy nominations for the basic cable network.

For three decades now, HBO has consistently racked up big Emmy nomination hauls. More recently streamer Netflix has given the premium cable outlet a run for its money. But if you look solely at the drama races, you should not discount the success of AMC. In the past 15 years, AMC has won Best Drama Series six times from 19 nominations. That’s the same number of wins as HBO over that period of time.

AMC has also won five Emmys for Best Drama Actor (five for Bryan Cranston from“Breaking Bad” and one for Jon Hamm from “Mad Men”) from 19 nominations. That is more wins than any other network in that time. Together since 2007, AMC...

Bob Odenkirk could find himself in the rare Emmy air this year. AMC will submit Odenkirk’s new series, “Lucky Hank,” in comedy categories for this year’s Emmy competition, Variety has confirmed.

Of course, AMC is also submitting the final episodes of Odenkirk’s “Better Call Saul” in the drama fields. Should Odenkirk be nominated in both the best drama actor and best comedy actor races, he would become the first performer in history to be nominated in both genres in the same year.

Several performers have been nominated and even won Emmys as both drama and comedy leads — but never at the same time. It’s a possibility: Odenkirk has been nominated five times in the best drama actor category for “Better Call Saul,” and this will be his final opportunity to compete in that race for “Saul”. Meanwhile, Odenkirk has been known first and foremost as a comedy performer,...

When prolific producer Mark Johnson acquired the TV rights to Richard Russo’s 1997 novel Straight Man, he knew that Saul Goodman actor Bob Odenkirk would be the perfect fit to play its lead character, William Henry Devereaux Jr. But Johnson, who also served as a producer on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, was hesitant to bring the role of the ornery Railton College English department head Odenkirk’s way for one very understandable reason.

“I’m the idiot who had the book for I don’t know how long and I was afraid to give it to Bob,” Johnson tells Den of Geek during SXSW. “I was afraid it was going to break his concentration for Saul Goodman.”

“What concentration?” Odenkirk quips.

Obviously, Johnson’s caution was well-founded. Saul Goodman proved to be the role of a lifetime for Bob Odenkirk. After spending much of his career as arguably...

From show creators Aaron Zelman and Paul Lieberstein, and adapted from the novel Straight Man by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Russo, the eight-episode dramedy series Lucky Hank follows Hank Devereaux Jr. (Bob Odenkirk), the chairman of the English department at Railton College in Pennsylvania. The seemingly ordinary man with an ordinary life and an ordinary career, with a wife (Mireille Enos) and daughter (Olivia Scott Welch) that he loves, also feels like he’s on the brink of a mid-life crisis that could erupt at any moment, possibly on his students or co-workers.

Paul Lieberstein and Aaron Zelman developed Lucky Hank, in which Bob Odenkirk stars as the midlife crisis-bound English Professor Hank Devereaux.

At the 2023 South By Southwest festival, in an exclusive interview with uInterview, Lieberstein, who you might recognize as Toby from The Office, discussed what it was like working on two office-based shows.

“I love the office scenario,” he began. “I love writing it and so when I got here, you know, these are very different characters, they’re very educated and driven and they want more for their lives so it’s a very different set of people. People are just thrown in that little space, it’s about parking spaces and it’s about someone making a noise that you can’t stand and so a lot of the same dynamics are there and when I got to write scenes where it was just like, everyone was there in an office meeting,...

Bob Odenkirk reveals that he's surprised by his swift return to television after the ending of Better Call Saul. The actor will be back on AMC, the former home of the Breaking Bad universe, with a new drama called Lucky Hank. If the new project is a hit, there's some early speculation that Odenkirk could be nominated for both series. It speaks to the strength of Better Call Saul's final season, as the spinoff ended in a satisfactory place for the characters and included some memorable performances by main cast members.

But in comments to TVLine to promote Lucky Hank, which debuts March 19 on AMC, Odenkirk revealed that he was surprised about returning to television only seven months after Better Call Saul's season 6 end. The Emmy nominee explained that he agreed to the new show, thinking he'd have a year or so off before the project started, but...

Surprised to see Bob Odenkirk starring in a new TV series just seven months after Better Call Saul ended? Yeah, he is, too.

“I said yes to the show, but I thought I’d have a break!” Odenkirk tells TVLine with a laugh. He’s referring to AMC’s new dramedy Lucky Hank, premiering this Sunday at 9/8c and starring him as Hank Devereaux, the grumpy and disgruntled chairman of the English department at a small Pennsylvania college. Odenkirk first read the pilot script written by Aaron Zelman (Damages) and Paul Lieberstein (The Office) — and the Richard Russo novel it’s based on,...

If anybody deserved a break after completing the acclaimed run of Better Call Saul, it was Bob Odenkirk.

Odenkirk spent six seasons delivering an Emmy-worthy performance as the lead in an Emmy-worthy show, and somehow found a way to star in Amazon’s Undone, do a season of the Mr. Show-adjacent W/Bob & David for Netflix, play a key supporting role in The Post and a surely arduous lead role in Nobody, and to fit in various cameos and guest turns along the way. With all that happening, why aspire to be the cable version of David Boreanaz — a broadcast TV regular without pause since 1997 — at the same time?

Well, if Breaking Bad was Odenkirk’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer (a key supporting role that became more important to the overall show as it progressed) and Better Call Saul was his Angel (a spinoff that didn’t inherently seem like a great idea,...

Some of the best television shows are about whip-smart operators and the political nuances of their professional worlds. So why then is it so challenging to make a satisfying series about academia? It’s not only difficult to think of a television show that has succeeded in lifting the veil of a university, it’s tough to think of shows that have even tried. The most recent swipe at it was Netflix’s “The Chair,” a thin but charming dramedy starring Sandra Oh that ended after a single season. Even as college campuses remain a go-to battleground for American culture wars, the inner lives of the professors caught in the crossfire are usually reserved for novels.

The latest such attempt to animate the tenured life is AMC’s “Lucky Hank,” which is built from just such a novel. It’s an adaptation of “Straight Man,” the Richard Russo novel that...

The wait to see Bob Odenkirk stealing the screen once again is finally over as AMC releases its latest series Lucky Hank (2023) this week. In his third project with the network, Odenkirk will feature a character you have never quite seen him play before. Created by Aaron Zelman and Paul Lieberstein, Lucky Hank follows the story of the bitter, middle-aged, William Henry Devereaux Jr., or Hank, the chairman of the English department at the underfunded Railton College. The series focuses on him and how his personality affects everyone around him, in his professional and personal life.

Plot: Lucky Hank is an eight-episode mid-life crisis tale set at Railton College. Told in the first person by William Henry Devereaux, Jr., the unlikely chairman of the English department in a badly underfunded college in the Pennsylvania rust belt.

Review: Bob Odenkirk is one hell of an actor. The accomplished comedian joined Breaking Bad as Saul Goodman in what many of us assumed was a comic relief role before turning in a bravura performance as the lawyer in his spin-off, Better Call Saul. While earning acclaim in that role, Odenkirk became an unexpected action hero in Nobody, proving his versatility across genres. Now, Odenkirk blends his dramatic and comedic chops for a new AMC series, Lucky Hank. Based on the Richard Russo novel Straight Man, Lucky Hank is a biting and satirical comedy that is equally serious and funny, with a substantial leading role for Odenkirk as the title character.

Less than a year after “Better Call Saul” wrapped its inconceivably excellent six-season run (somehow matching the towering precedent set by “Breaking Bad”), Bob Odenkirk is back on AMC. That’s good for the network, which has steadily built a fan base around the two-time Emmy winner via those back-to-back hits. No matter where he pops up, seeing Odenkirk on TV should never be taken for granted, even if his new series isn’t quite sure what it is yet.

Through only two episodes, it’s hard to tell if “Lucky Hank” could use a bit more of “Saul’s” eagerness to gaze into the darkness, or if it’d be better off dialing up its softer side. The “everything and the kitchen sink” approach taken by co-showrunners Aaron Zelman and Paul Lieberstein leaves enough room to pivot toward what’s working as the season goes on, but also too...

Time for some inside baseball: reviewing TV can be tricky. When I review a movie, I'm always given a full picture; a beginning, middle, and end. TV is a different beast, because most of the time, networks will only send out a handful of episodes to review instead of a full season. And as almost anyone can tell you, a lot of TV shows take a little time to get to that sweet spot. It's very rare to have a show that's firing on all cylinders right out of the gate — unless the show is an episodic sitcom, you need time to spend with the characters as they deal with their various ever-unfolding conflicts.

All of this is to say that it's not an easy task to review "Lucky Hank," Bob Odenkirk's return to both TV and AMC. Only two episodes were provided for review, and as a whole,...

Bob Odenkirk discussed his follow-up role to Better Call Saul in Lucky Hank alongside co-star Mireille Enos, showrunners Aaron Zelman and Paul Lieberstein and executive producer Mark Johnson while talking to The Hollywood Reporter in its SXSW Studio at South by Southwest on Saturday.

The upcoming AMC series follows William Henry Deveraux, Jr. (Odenkirk), an unlikely chairman for the English department at the underfunded Railton College.

After starring as Saul Goodman on Better Call Saul from 2015-2022, Odenkirk said he was interested in Lucky Hank because the character is very different than Saul.

“There’s some very obvious ways it’s quite different. But for me, internally, this character’s self-awareness is quite different from Saul,” he told THR at the Austin festival. “It was hard to play a guy who is as clueless about himself as Saul was, about the big things about himself. Because he was so smart about people,...

Movies, TV shows and, of course, barbecue. It’s all on the marquee at this year’s SXSW, the annual celebration of all things entertainment being showcased in Austin from March 10 to 19. From Hollywood blockbusters like “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” to iconoclastic fare like “I’m a Virgo” — the first foray into television for indie maverick Boots Riley — there’s a wild variety in this year’s lineup. Historically, the festival was better known for its musical offerings, but that’s changed in recent years as Hollywood has embraced the Texas gathering.

And while Sundance and Cannes may be higher profile, SXSW has established itself as an important stop for movies and shows looking to generate notoriety — “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” for instance, premiered at last year’s festival before racking up more than $100 million in ticket sales and dominating the Oscar nominations. Here’s a look at...

"Tenure doesn't mean you can't get smacked in the face." AMC has revealed an official trailer for their new upcoming Bob Odenkirk series titled Lucky Hank, created by Aaron Zelman Paul Lieberstein, directed by Peter Farrelly. It will be out for streaming in March next month. The series follows the unlikely chairman of the English department, William Henry Devereaux, Jr. - a born anarchist - partly because his department is savagely divided. Over the course of a single convoluted week, he threatens to execute a duck, has his nose slashed by a feminist poet, discovers that his secretary writes better fiction than he does, suspects his wife of having an affair with his dean, and finally confronts his philandering elderly father, the one-time king of American Literary Theory. Bob Odenkirk stars with Mireille Enos & Olivia Scott Welch as his family. Additional series regulars include Sara Amini, Diedrich Bader, Suzanne Cryer,...

Bob Odenkirk is going through a midlife crisis in the AMC series, “Lucky Hank”.

Adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Straight Man, by Richard Russo, the “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul” alum plays Hank Devereaux Jr., head of the English department at the underfunded Railton College, whose life begins to fall apart. Hank’s unhappiness is rooted in unresolved issues with his father, a mediocre and entitled student body and the fact that his department is more divided than ever. ‘The Killing”s Mireille Enos co-stars as Lily Devereaux, Hank’s wife and vice principal of a local high school, who starts to question the path she’s on and the choices she’s made amid his downward spiral.

The newly released trailer reveals the extent of Hank’s discontentment as he publicly declares to a class of students that they’re swimming in mediocrity and because they’re...

Prime Video has released its latest trailer for at its highly anticipated limited series “Daisy Jones & the Six.” The 10-episode series will premiere on March 3, with new episodes released every Friday through March 24.

“Daisy Jones & the Six” follows the story of an iconic (and fictional) 1970s band, led by two clashing singers, Daisy Jones and Billy Dunne. Daisy and Billy’s complicated musical partnership catapulted the struggling band into a world of unfathomable fame. Decades later, the band members are recruited to tell their story and finally reveal the truth behind their fallout.

Based on Taylor Jenkins Reid novel of the same name, “Daisy Jones & the Six” was created by Michael H. Weber and co-showrunner, Scott Neustadter, who executive produced alongside Reid. The series stars Riley Keough, Sam Claflin, Camila Morrone, Will Harrison, Suki Waterhouse, Josh Whitehouse, Sebastian Chacon, Nabiyah Be, Tom Wright and Timothy Olyphant.

Bob Odenkirk is the face of angry middle-aged white guy mediocrity in the trailer for “Lucky Hank,” a dark comedy coming to AMC and AMC+ on Sunday, March 19. If it’s going to be anyone, it should be him.

In “Lucky Hank” – formerly known as “Straight Man” – Odenkirk stars as William Henry “Hank” Devereaux, Jr., the chair of the English department at Railton College, an underfunded, underachieving college in small-town Pennsylvania. Hank is an unhappy man who resents his father, his students, and his co-workers, which he manages by checking out from his life. But one day, he’s pushed to his breaking point and snaps at his students during class, which sets his life into a mid-life crisis tailspin. Meanwhile, Hank’s wife Lily (Mireille Enos), the even-keeled vice principal of the local high school, has had enough of Hank’s nonsense and is questioning her own path in life.

Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk is an English professor going through a serious midlife crisis in the new trailer for Lucky Hank. Odenkirk began his relationship with AMC when he played slimy lawyer Saul Goodman in the classic series Breaking Bad. The actor then returned to elaborate upon the character of Goodman, and his various other identities, in the acclaimed spinoff Better Call Saul.

Now Better Call Saul has wrapped up its time on the air, but Odenkirk’s relationship with AMC is not at an end, as he’s back for the new series Lucky Hank (whose latest trailer was just released by AMC+).

After so memorably playing a sleazy lawyer with underworld connections in Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul, Odenkirk now sinks his teeth into the role of a respectable-seeming college professor, who clearly is dealing with some heavy stuff of his own (though it’s unlikely...

Slippin’ Jimmy slipped his way back onto AMC. Less than a year after closing out the saga of Saul Goodman on “Breaking Bad” prequel “Better Call Saul,” Bob Odenkirk is back on the channel for new series “Lucky Hank,” and the first full-length trailer for the college-set show dropped this Wednesday.

Alongside the trailer, AMC Networks also revealed that the series’ debut episode will also air on BBC America, IFC, and SundanceTV, in addition to AMC and its streamer AMC+.

Based on the 1997 novel “Straight Man” by Richard Russo, best known for the Pulitzer Prize-winning book “Empire Falls,” “Lucky Hank” has a similar premise to 2021’s Netflix series “The Chair,” which starred Sandra Oh as the stressed-out chair of a college’s English department. Odenkirk takes on the role of William Henry Devereaux Jr., the English department chair at Railton College, a poorly funded university in the Pennsylvania rust belt.

Better call a plastic surgeon, amirite?!

The first trailer for Bob Odenkirk‘s new AMC series Lucky Hank dropped on Wednesday and it features a particularly wince inducing run-in between the Better Call Saul alum’s titular college professor and a spiral bound notebook. But as the trailer kinda-sorta establishes, the self-described “difficult man” had it coming.

Bob Odenkirk is returning to AMC with Lucky Hank, which now has its first full-length trailer for his new drama series.

The Better Call Saul Emmy-nominee’s next show is described as “a midlife crisis tale set at Railton College, told in the first person by William Henry ‘Hank’ Devereaux, Jr. (Odenkirk), the unlikely chairman of the English department in a badly underfunded college in a working-class American town. Hank’s discontent is rooted in unresolved issues with his father, a mediocre and entitled student body, and in the fact that his department is more savagely divided than the Balkans.”

Mireille Enos (Hanna) stars as Lily Devereaux, the “emotionally grounded, unflappable wife of Hank and the vice principal of the local high school in rural Pennsylvania where they live. As Hank’s life starts to unravel, Lily begins to question the path she’s on and the choices she’s made.

Better Call Saul may be done, but Bob Odenkirk is returning to AMC very soon.

AMC Networks announced today that Lucky Hank will debut across four of its linear networks, with BBC America, IFC, and SundanceTV joining AMC and AMC+ for a multi-network premiere event on Sunday, March 19 at 9:00 p.m. Et/Pt.

Lucky Hank is a mid-life crisis tale set at Railton College, told in the first person by William Henry "Hank" Devereaux, Jr., the unlikely chairman of the English department in a badly underfunded college in a working-class American town.

Hank's discontent is rooted in unresolved issues with his father, a mediocre and entitled student body, and in the fact that his department is more savagely divided than the Balkans.

Raise your hands if you are lowkey missing Jimmy McGill since August 2022. We all are, however, the silver lining is that Bob Odenkirk is returning to AMC in and as Lucky Hank, After Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, the drama marks the actor’s third project with the network. At the Television Critics Association’s 2023 Winter Press Tour, AMC announced the premiere date of the series as a part of AMC’s Spring 2023 programming slate, and also released the series’ teaser video. But more on that in a bit. Lucky Hank follows the story of William Henry “Hank” Devereaux Jr., the bitter and grumpy chairman of the English department in the fictional Railton College. The series focuses on how his self-proclaimed “difficult” nature affects everyone around him and, in a way, his own life. The series is created by Aaron Zelman and Paul Lieberstein and was formerly titled Straight Man,...

Bob Odenkirk didn't waste much time before jumping into his next project after "Better Call Saul." His latest series is another AMC show called "Lucky Hank," and this one features Odenkirk as the titular Hank, a professor at a mediocre Pennsylvania college who, as this recent teaser points out, specializes in "minor strife and significant irritation."

The show is based on Richard Russo's 1997 book "Straight Man," and is a character study of a man going through a mid-life crisis. The eight-episode season comes to us from co-showrunners Paul Lieberstein ("The Office") and Aaron Zelman ("The Killing"), and it will likely be a series that defies being categorized into any specific subgenre (though dramedy is what most folks will likely call it).

"We don't know how to define it, but we know it when we see it," Zelman explained to me during the Television Critics Association winter press tour, when asked about finding show's tone.

Better Call Saul may be over, but Bob Odenkirk is returning to AMC this year.

The Emmy-nominated star will headline Lucky Hank (Formerly Straight Man), which premieres Sunday, March 19, on AMC+ and AMC.

The series also stars Mireille Enos (The Killing).

Lucky Hank is an eight-episode mid-life crisis tale set at Railton College.

Told in the first person by William Henry Devereaux, Jr. (Odenkirk), the unlikely chairman of the English department in a badly underfunded college in the Pennsylvania rust belt. 

Aaron Zelman (Silicon Valley, The Killing) and Paul Lieberstein (The Office, The Newsroom), who adapted the project from the novel Straight Man by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Russo, serve as co-showrunners.

Zelman, Lieberstein, Odenkirk, Director Peter Farrelly (Green Book), Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire), Richard Russo, Naomi Odenkirk and Marc Provissiero(PEN15) are executive producers. 

"Bob Odenkirk is just as good as it gets,...

AMC has released a new teaser trailer for their new Bob Odenkirk vehicle Lucky Hank. It will be Odenkirk's third time teaming up with AMC following their very successful partnerships on Breaking Bad from 2009 to 2013 and its spinoff Better Call Saul from 2015 to 2022, the latter of which starred Odenkirk in the title role. Breaking Bad was a breakout for Odenkirk, and his continued portrayal of criminal lawyer Saul Goodman/Jimmy McGill in the spinoff cemented him as a star, with his turn in the latter also garnering him five Emmy nominations and five Golden Globe nods.

During Lucky Hank's Television Critics Association Winter 2023 panel on Tuesday, viewers, and critics got their first look at the new AMC show's 15-second teaser trailer. The clip featured a close-up of a bearded Odenkirk as William Henry Devereaux Jr., the main character of Lucky Hank, which has been likened to Better Call Saul by Odenkirk.

After bouncing back from a heart attack and putting a bow on his multi-award-winning series Better Call Saul, Bob Odenkirk is tackling his next project at AMC, Lucky Hank. Initially titled Straight Man, Lucky Hank stars Odenkirk as a college professor in the throes of a mid-life crisis. AMC dropped a Lucky Hank teaser trailer on Tuesday featuring Odenkirk in a salt-and-pepper beard, spectacles, and scowl that could send students running for the hills.

In the Lucky Hank teaser trailer, Odenkirk’s William Henry Deveraux Jr. explains he’s “always been a difficult man,” who specializes in minor strife and irritation. As the camera zooms in on Odenkirk’s face, the corner of his lip curls in disgust as he contemplates his mediocre existence. William Henry Deveraux Jr. is the chairman of the English department in an underfunded college in the Pennsylvania rust belt, a state filled with individuals who are used to disappointment.
