Summary
- Charlie and Martin Sheen to star as father and son.
- New comedy series 'Happy Jack' set for 2027 premiere.
- Production begins early next year in Los Angeles.
A new family comedy series titled "Happy Jack" is set to debut on AMC and AMC+ in 2027. This half-hour multicam show will star the real-life father and son duo, Martin Sheen and Charlie Sheen, who will portray grandfather and father, respectively. Production is scheduled to begin in Los Angeles early next year, with an initial six-episode season planned.
Charlie Sheen plays Jack Chambers, a somewhat unreliable father whose daughters, Kate and Sam, are central to his life. The plot thickens when Sam brings home her new boyfriend, Paul, who is remarkably the same age as Jack. This prompts Jack to re-evaluate his life and relationships with his daughters.
The series is executive produced by Jim Patterson and Matt Ross, who previously collaborated on "Two and a Half Men" and "The Ranch." AMC Studios President Dan McDermott expressed enthusiasm for the Sheens joining the network, highlighting Charlie Sheen's unique talent. Charlie Sheen himself conveyed excitement about returning to television in a meaningful role.
