With Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses at the helm, the series takes place on a college campus where an author is working on his relationship with his adult daughter.
“It’s been heartening to feel the audience embrace Rooster, as we did when we first saw Steve, Bill and Matt bring this character to life. Along with our partners at WBTV and Doozer, we’re looking forward to seeing what Ludlow’s Spring Semester has in store for this incredible comedy ensemble,” Amy Gravitt, executive vice president of HBO programming and head of HBO and HBO Max Comedy Series, said in a statement.
The cast includes Charly Clive, Danielle Deadwyler, Phil Dunster, John C. McGinley and Lauren Tsai.
