‘Rooster’ Finale: Bosses Break Down Twist Ending & Tease What’s Next for Season 2
Greg ends the season with a community that eases his loneliness, and the creators say the full cast will return for season 2.
HBO comedy series Rooster, created by Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses, concluded its first season with bosses confirming the show will return for a second season.
In the Christmas-set finale, protagonist Greg, played by Steve Carell, finds a sense of belonging among his writing seminar students, overcoming the loneliness established at the show's beginning.
Tarses told Deadline the production team faced challenges filming the series in August while simulating an autumn and winter atmosphere in New England.
Walt's suspicions regarding Beth, played by Connie Britton, proved accurate; Lawrence noted Phil Dunster's character must truly hit rock bottom before redemption becomes possible.
Lawrence and Tarses confirmed they included 'easter eggs' within the finale to set up plot lines for the second season next year.
