- Rooster season 2 could arrive within a year
- The show’s creator Bill Lawrence revealed all during an IGN interview
- The first four episodes are already “broken”, according to Lawrence
Rooster season 2 could arrive sooner than I’d anticipated, according to a new interview with the show’s creators Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses. Considering I gave Rooster season 1 a positive review, I’m very excited about new episodes. This news comes after the season 1 finale, which dropped yesterday (May 10).
Speaking exclusively to IGN, Lawrence told the site: “We’ve broken the first four episodes. We’re doing 10, and HBO wants it on within a year or less. They’ve got us grinding, so we’ve been at it for a while.”
It seems like Lawrence and Tarses have got this covered, though; because they were anticipating a renewal, they intentionally left the season finale in a place where they could expand on things for season 2 — which has now been confirmed.
“We were feeling pretty confident because the show premiered really well,” Lawrence explained. “[There were three] things that we kept [in the finale] that we knew we wanted to do at the start.”
What else do we know about Rooster season 2?
Right now it seems like plenty of fan favorites are set to return for Rooster season 2, so we haven’t seen the last of the main cast including Steve Carell and Charly Clive.
In particular, John C. McGinley, who plays Ludlow College president Walter Mann, is set to return. Considering he delivered a standout performance in my opinion, I am certainly relieved.
Tarses reassured fans, saying: “He’s a regular. Next semester is a transition semester… so [Walt] talks about his swan song with Greg. He’s going to be dealing with this new situation and Greg’s going to help him through it as we go forward. It would be mean of us to just send him away.”
Elsewhere, the creators teased there’s lots more drama to come and we also might see even more characters added for season 2, given the scale of the college.
“It was an embarrassment of riches,” Tarses explained. “With all these [college] kids [and everyone else]. “So I want all those people [back for Season 2]. The regular characters too.”
It definitely feels like Rooster is ripe for season 2, and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
