Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk has a new show coming out — and we finally have a new look at it.
The show, which was originally called Straight Man, is called Lucky Hank, and it is a "mid-life crisis tale" that blends drama and comedy and takes place at a fictional university in Pennsylvania.
The series is based on a novel called Straight Man by Richard Russo.

Odenkirk plays William Henry 'Hank' Devereaux Jr, the chairman of the English department. It also stars Mireille Enos as Hank's wife, who "begins to question the path she's on and the choices she's made".
The show is eight episodes long and is written by Aaron Zelman and Paul Lieberstein. Other cast members include Diedrich Bader, Cedric Yarbrough and Suzanne Cryer.
The premise of the show sees “an English department chairman at an underfunded college, Professor Hank Devereaux toes the line between midlife crisis and full-blown meltdown, navigating the offbeat chaos in his personal and professional life – oddly proving tantrums get better with age.”
And now, in a brand-new trailer, we see all of the cast members in action.

The trailer features Odenkirk’s Hank having meltdowns and tantrums throughout various stages and places of his life. It is filled with Hank finding himself in hilarious situations, navigating his life as a teacher with uninterested students. His personal life is a shambles too, with dialogue riddled with insults for everyone in the show.
And in case you were curious as to what you can expect from this show, at one point in the trailer, Hank is literally squaring up to fight against a goose. No, we're not joking. He really does get into a fight pose in front of a goose and says: “Back off goosey! Come on, you want a piece of this?!”
Lucky Hank arrives on AMC+ in the US on March 16, 2023.
