Rooster Soundtracks

Created by Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses, the HBO comedy series Rooster stars Steve Carell as a bestselling author who moves onto a college campus to support his professor daughter (Charly Clive) through a messy divorce and professional crisis. Coaxed into the academic world, Carell’s character hilariously attempts to embody the "studly", hyper-masculine persona of his own fictional hero while navigating modern campus life, Gen Z students, and a strained family bond. The series, premiering in March 2026, blends sharp wit with heart as it explores generational clashes and mid-life reinvention.
