First Teaser Spot For Bob Odenkirk's New AMC Series Which is Now Titled LUCKY HANK
AMC has released the first teaser spot for Bob Odenkirk’s upcoming series, which has undergone a name change. The show formerly known as Straight Man will now be called Lucky Hank. AMC is bringing in their favorite actor to star in his third series in a row for the cabler, starting with Breaking Bad, and most recently seeing the wrap up his hit series, Better Call Saul.
The series is not based within the same world as the last two shows, but is based on the novel Straight Man by Richard Russo. Lucky Hank is a “mid-life crisis tale” that takes place on a fictional college campus in the Pennsylvania Rust Belt. Odenkirk stars as William Henry “Hank” Devereaux Jr., the unlikely chairman of the college’s English department. Aaron Zelman (Damages) and Paul Lieberstein (The Office) adapted the book and serve as co-showrunners.
The Killing alum Mireille Enos will play Hank’s wife, Lily, the vice principal of the local high school. “As Hank’s life starts to unravel, Lily begins to question the path she’s on and the choices she’s made,” per the official description.
Check out the photos from the series, and get ready to watch Lucky Hank this spring on AMC and AMC+. Watch the teaser below and tell us what you think!
