Stan today released the trailer for the brand new series Lucky Hank, starring Bob Odenkirk (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) and Mireille Enos (Hanna, The Killing) and set to premiere 20 March, same day as the U.S. and only on Stan.
Lucky Hank is a mid-life crisis tale set at Railton College, told in the first person by William Henry “Hank” Devereaux, Jr. played by Bob Odenkirk, the unlikely chairman of the English department in a badly underfunded college in a working-class American town. Hank’s discontent is rooted in unresolved issues with his father, a mediocre and entitled student body, and in the fact that his department is more savagely divided than the Balkans. Mireille Enos stars as Lily Devereaux, the emotionally grounded, unflappable wife of Hank and the Vice Principal of the local high school in rural Pennsylvania where they live. As Hank’s life starts to unravel, Lily begins to question the path she’s on and the choices she’s made.
Also starring in the cast is Olivia Scott Welch (Panic, Marvel’s Agent Carter), Suzanne Cryer (Silicon Valley) Diedrich Bader (Miss Congeniality), Sara Amini (Find Me), Cedric Yarbrough (Reno 911, Bones) and guest stars Oscar Nuñez (The Office), Tom Bower (Crazy Heart), Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks) and Chris Diamantopoulos (Silicon Valley).
Aaron Zelman (Damages, Law & Order, Criminal Minds) and Paul Lieberstein (The Office, Space Force, The Newsroom), who adapted the project from the novel Straight Man by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Russo, serve as co-showrunners as well as executive producers. Bob Odenkirk will executive produce in addition to starring, alongside his wife, Naomi Odenkirk. Peter Farrelly (Green Book, The Greatest Beer Run Ever) is onboard to direct and executive produce. Pulitzer Prize winning author Richard Russo, Mark Johnson (Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad), and Marc Provissiero (Nobody) will also executive produce.
The brand new series Lucky Hank premieres 20 March, same day as the U.S. and only on Stan.
