Is 'Rooster' Coming Back for Season 2?
""We're gonna start shooting it in mid-to-late August," Lawrence told TV Insider after HBO renewed the series for season 2. "HBO, in a great way, really wants to make sure that we get it on within a year, if not sooner, so we're gonna make sure we do that.""
""[Season 2] does start on returning from Christmas break, and so we're going to have Connie in as much as we possibly can, but it buys us that transition year of her coming by, looking at the office to furnish it, while Walt's having to process what it means to leave," Lawrence teased to TV Insider. "It's too delicious for us.""
"Rooster stars Steve Carrell as writer Greg Russo, who accepts a residency at Ludlow College in New England where his daughter, Katie (Charly Clive), is a professor. While the first season dealt with Katie's breakup with fellow teacher Archie ( Phil Dunster)-after she not-so-accidentally burnt his house down-the season 1 finale left the doors open for another kind of awkward workplace relationship."
"Greg's ex-wife Elizabeth (Connie Britton) is taking on the role of Ludlow's new school president. It won't just mean new conflicts for Greg and Katie-who have patched things up now that Katie's decided to leave Archie for good and Greg decided to stay. Elizabeth's new tenure is also bad news for former president Walt (John C. McGinley), who is now forced to give up the gig."
Season 2 is planned to start filming in mid-to-late August, with HBO aiming to deliver it within a year or sooner. The story resumes after Christmas break at Ludlow College. Connie Britton joins as Elizabeth, the new school president, creating new conflicts for Greg Russo and Katie. Katie and Greg have patched things up after Katie ended her relationship with Archie and Greg chose to stay. Elizabeth’s arrival forces former president Walt to step down, adding pressure as he processes leaving. The show’s creator has already envisioned how the series ends, having pitched the beginning, middle, and end for the streaming run.
