Charlie Sheen Reuniting With Chuck Lorre for HBO Series HOW TO BE A BOOKIE
Charlie Sheen is reuniting with the creator of Three and a Half Men, Chuck Lorre, to make a new series coming to HBO titled How To Be a Bookie. Sheen will recur in the series, and he joins Sebastian Maniscalco (Green Book, The Irishman), who is set to star. The cast also includes Omar J. Dorsey, Andrea Anders, Vanessa Ferlito, and Jorge Garcia.
Lorre and Sheen must have patched things up after their rough break amid Sheen leaving Two and a Half Men before its final season and making disparaging remarks about Lorre, and the creator killing his character off in a freak piano accident.
How to Be a Bookie has received an eight-episode order. It hails from co-creators Chuck Lorre and Nick Bakay. In the series, Maniscalco stars as Danny, described as a “veteran bookie who struggles to survive the impending legalization of sports gambling, increasingly unstable clients, family, co-workers, and a lifestyle that bounces him around every corner of Los Angeles, high and low.”
This sounds like it could be an interesting series. Do you think you’ll check it out?
