\n\tCharlie Sheen<\/a> is heading back to TV, and he\u2019s bringing his dad along for the ride.<\/p>\n

\n\tCharlie and Martin Sheen<\/a> will star together in a comedy series called Happy Jack that has scored a green light from AMC<\/a> Global Media. The multicamera show is slated to premiere on AMC and AMC+ in 2027, with production starting early next year on the Warner Bros. lot.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve always heard the moments that truly matter happen when they\u2019re supposed to,\u201d Charlie Sheen said in a statement. \u201cThe good folks at AMC have played a huge hand in deciding that moment is now. It\u2019s no secret that it\u2019s been a minute, and I\u2019m thrilled to be going back on television in such a meaningful way in an equally wonderful show. The crew has reassembled \u2014 suffice it to say, it\u2019s time to give the people what they want.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Sheens will play father and son in Happy Jack. The show centers on Jack (Charlie Sheen), a \u201cbit of a lifelong ne\u2019er-do-well\u201d with two adult daughters whom his dad (Martin Sheen) had a big hand in raising. One of them, Kate, keeps Jack\u2019s company running and Jack functioning, while the other, Sam, is a \u201cwild child\u201d who returns home with a new boyfriend \u2026\u00a0who is her dad\u2019s age.<\/p>\n

\n\tJim Patterson and Matt Ross are writers and co-showrunners on Happy Jack, which comes from AMC Studios. They worked together on Two and a Half Men (though Ross joined the series after Sheen\u2019s 2011 departure) and Netflix\u2019s The Ranch. Patterson and Ross executive produce with Charlie Sheen; Todd Christopher; The Tannenbaum Company\u2019s Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum and Jason Wang; and 20th Television. Eric and Kim Tannenbaum were also EPs of Two and a Half Men.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat a thrill to welcome Charlie Sheen and Martin Sheen to AMC and AMC+,\u201d said Dan McDermott, chief content officer of AMC Global Media and president of AMC Studios. \u201cI worked with Charlie years ago on Spin City, and he is a singular talent who has owned the screen in some of the most unforgettable films and television series ever made. We love this show from a great creative team, led by Jim Patterson and Matt Ross and the Tannenbaums. This is definitely something new for AMC, and we can\u2019t wait to bring it to viewers next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe show will be AMC\u2019s first multicamera comedy and one of only a handful of comedies\/dramedies it has ever aired. The most recent was Lucky Hank, starring Bob Odenkirk, in 2023.<\/p>\n

\n\tMartin and Charlie Sheen have appeared together a few times in the past, in the feature films Wall Street and Cadence (which Martin Sheen also directed) and on the mid-2010s FX\/syndicated comedy Anger Management. Martin also guest-starred on Two and a Half Men and Spin City when Charlie starred on the two shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charlie Sheen is heading back to TV, and he\u2019s bringing his dad along for the ride.
