‘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.
