Based on the novel Straight Man by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Russo, Lucky Hank is a mid-life crisis tale set at Railton College. It stars Primetime Emmy® nominees Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) and Mireille Enos (The Killing).
The eight-episode series is told in the first person by William Henry Devereaux, Jr. (Odenkirk), the unlikely chairman of the English department in a badly underfunded college in the Pennsylvania rust belt.
Lucky Hank, an AMC+ Original series, premieres Sunday, March 19, exclusively on AMC+ and AMC.
Aaron Zelman (Silicon Valley, The Killing) and Paul Lieberstein (The Office, The Newsroom), who adapted the project from Russo’s novel, serve as co-showrunners. Zelman, Lieberstein, Odenkirk, director Peter Farrelly (Green Book), Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire), Richard Russo, Naomi Odenkirk, and Marc Provissiero (PEN15) are executive producers.
