After forming a reputation as the tiger-blood-sipping madman of sitcoms, Charlie Sheen is heading back to the small screen for another round of \u201cWill he keep it together this time?\u201d Well, AMC, home of his latest show, has a failsafe, an undeniable accountability keeper no human on Earth would ever step to\u2014his own father. Martin Sheen will star opposite his nogoodnik son Charlie on Happy Jack, a new half-hour family sitcom for AMC.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The show is unsurprisingly kind of what you\u2019d expect from a sitcom starring Martin and Charlie Sheen. Charlie plays Jack, a \u201clifelong ne\u2019er-do-well,\u201d with two great daughters who were mostly raised by his dad (Martin Sheen). One daughter runs Jack\u2019s company; the other is planning to abscond with an investment-banker-turned- #vanlife guy who\u2019s the same age as Jack. Daddy may not like this, but what does granddaddy think? Family-friendly hilarity ensues.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Announced earlier today, Happy Jack will begin production in Los Angeles early next year for a six-episode first season, set to premiere later in 2027 on AMC and AMC+. Despite Sheen receiving an all-timer character death<\/a> in the Two And A Half Men<\/a> finale, the \u201cwinning\u201d actor\u2019s latest series isn\u2019t too far from the Chuck Lorre universe. Happy Jack will be co-showrun by Two And A Half Men and The Ranch writers Jim Patterson and Matt Ross, so at least they know what they\u2019re getting into.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After forming a reputation as the tiger-blood-sipping madman of sitcoms, Charlie Sheen is heading back to the small…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":915167,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":["post-915166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/915166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=915166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/915166\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/915167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=915166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=915166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=915166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
