Chuck Lorre gave Charlie Sheen one of his most iconic roles in Two and a Half Men, and they’re finally gearing up for a reunion. Sheen will make his grand return to television in the Sebastian Maniscalco-led new comedy Bookie, and the first trailer for this series is finally here.
Developed under the working title How To Be a Bookie, this series centers on a veteran bookie struggling to survive the impending legalization of sports gambling. He must adapt to an ever-changing world as he attempts to charm and con his way to the top.
Sebastian Maniscalco will play the lead role as the LA bookie Danny, and we’ll see him juggle a roaster of increasingly unstable clients throughout this series. Charlie Sheen will play one of his clients, alongside Omar J. Dorsey as Danny’s best friend and former NFL player Ray and Vanessa Ferlito as his side-hustling sister Lorraine.
Bookie will mark Sheen’s first TV role in years—we’ve only seen him make guest appearances on The Goldbergs and Typical Rick after his show Anger Management ended its run in 2014. This series also marks his first reunion with Lorre since he dramatically exited Two and a Half Men over a decade ago.
Bookie will premiere on Max on November 30, and it will feature a total of eight episodes.
