The AMC revealed the exact date of the premiere of the series “Lucky Hank,” previously known as “A Straight Man.” The leading role is played by “Better Call Saul” star Bob Odenkirk. We have also received a new teaser.
This series will be a screen adaptation of a novel written by Richard Russo, published as “A Straight Man.” The story is about a certain William Henry Devereaux Junior, unlucky lecturer at a university in Pennsylvania.
The hero is accused of murdering a goose in one week, he gets punched in the nose by a feminist poet, is sent to the sobering station and then to the hospital.
“The author has created a protagonist who tames his unusual sense of humor and his awareness of the ever-present absurdity only because of his love for his wife and daughters, his loyalty to his friends and, finally, his knowledge of his own character,” the description of the novel by the Prószyński i S-ka publishing house reads.
Besides Odenkierk, cast members of the series adaptation include Mireille Enos, Alvina August, June Washington-Chen, Sara Amini, Diedrich Bader, Suzanne Cryer, Olivia Scott Welch, Arthur Keng and Cedric Yarbrough, among others.
