Lucky Hank Teaser, Images: AMC, Bob Odenkirk Series Arrives in March

Set to hit on Sunday, March 19th, here's a look at an official teaser & preview images for AMC/AMC+'s Bob Odenkirk-starring Lucky Hank.


Well, we have some good news and bad news to pass along regarding Bob Odenkirk's first series for AMC post-Better Call Saul. Bad news? If you were a fan of the original title, Straight Man, then you're poop out of luck because the eight-episode series is now going by the title Lucky Hank. But things are much better when it comes to the good news. Because not only do we have a teaser and preview images for Lucky Hank to pass along, but we also have a premiere date that isn't nearly as far off as we were expecting it to be… Sunday, March 19th, to be exact. Starring Odenkirk and Mireille Enos (The Killing), the AMC & AMC+ series is a mid-life crisis tale set at Railton College and 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.

It's going to be fun to play and watch!"
