Rooster Review: Bill Lawrence's Latest Is Quite Funny, But More Scattershot Than Most
It's also quite mean in one aspect.
screenrant.comHere’s the latest I could verify about Rooster in Australia as of now.
- The HBO comedy Rooster, starring Steve Carell, premiered in 2026 and was renewed for a second season in 2026. This renewal was reported by Variety and other outlets, noting strong early viewership on HBO Max and the involvement of Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses.[1][3]
- In early 2026, reviews noted that the show leans into character-driven humor with a campus setting, and while some critics found the season’s trajectory a bit scattershot, praise was directed at the cast and the warmth of the central relationships.[2]
- Availability in Australia is typically tied to HBO Max content distribution or local streaming partners; Australia-specific airing details and schedules for Rooster were not consistently published in the immediate reporting I found. You can check local streaming guides or the Austalian HBO/Warner Bros platforms for current availability.[3][1]
