“Rooster” Release Schedule: When Do New Episodes Come Out?

**Steve Carell Stars in New HBO Comedy Series ‘Rooster’**

Steve Carell returns to television with the premiere of the highly anticipated HBO comedy series *Rooster*, debuting on Sunday, 8 March. The 10-episode series places Carell in the role of Greg Russo, a fiction author who embarks on a transformative journey as he supports his daughter, Katie, at her New England college, where she is a professor.

Set against the backdrop of university life, *Rooster* explores the evolving relationship between fathers and daughters, particularly as they navigate the complex challenges of adulthood. Co-starring alongside Carell is Charly Clive, who portrays Katie. The ensemble cast also features Danielle Deadwyler, Phil Dunster, John C. McGinley, and Lauren Tsai, with notable appearances from Connie Britton and Robby Hoffman.

According to Bill Lawrence, co-showrunner and executive producer, the series delves into the difficulties of parenting when children reach adulthood. “How do you navigate life when your kid doesn’t have to listen to you anymore, and they’re dealing with adult problems? You might have experienced those problems before, and you might’ve inflicted them on your kid by the example you gave them,” he explained in a recent interview.

The launch episode, titled “Release the Brown Fat,” sets the stage for Greg and Katie’s journey. In the episode, Greg races to his daughter’s aid as she grapples with marital difficulties, only to discover that her professional future hangs in the balance after an incident involving the burning down of a faculty house and an altercation with a professor.

In a promotional interview with *The Hollywood Reporter*, Carell expressed his enthusiasm for the show’s debut. He described the premiere as “one of the best comedy pilots I’ve read, period.” The actor noted the unique challenges of crafting a pilot, citing the need to establish a world and characters efficiently while ensuring the narrative remains engaging and humorous.

The first season of *Rooster* comprises ten episodes with new episodes released weekly. The series has not yet been confirmed for a second season, but excitement buzzes around the show’s potential.

Following the debut, viewers can look forward to a structured episode release schedule. The complete list of episodes includes “Trousers” on 15 March, followed by further episodes airing weekly through to the season finale on 10 May.

Fans eager to catch the new comedy can tune in each Sunday at 10 p.m. ET on HBO, with episodes also available for streaming on HBO Max.

With a wealth of comedic talent and a storyline ripe for exploration, *Rooster* promises to be a notable addition to the landscape of television comedy, highlighting the intricacies of family ties and personal growth within the context of higher education. As viewers prepare for the laughter and heartwarming moments ahead, Steve Carell’s return to the small screen is sure to be a highlight.
