Rooster Season 1 Episode 2 "Trousers" Preview

Rooster Season 1 Episode 2 "Trousers" – After Katie's future at Ludlow is thrown into question, Greg and Walt work out a deal that will keep both of them on campus. Meanwhile, Archie crashes out over Sunny's decision and more. Directed by Jonathan Krisel and written by Annie Mebane.

Set on a college campus, the comedy centers on an author's (Carell) complicated relationship with his daughter (Clive). Of course, further complicating the matter is that his daughter burnt down a faculty house and punched a faculty member in the face – and that's not even close to the only drama in play. Joining Carell are Charly Clive, Danielle Deadwyler, Phil Dunster, John C. McGinley, and Lauren Tsai.

HBO's Rooster stems from co-showrunners Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses, and is executive produced by Bill Lawrence, Jeff Ingold, and Liza Katzer for Doozer, Matt Tarses, Jonathan Krisel, Barbie Adler, Annie Mebane, David Stassen, Anthony King, David Hyman, and Steve Carell. The studio is Warner Bros. Television, where both Doozer and Tarses are under overall deals.
