Well, The Chair may have been canceled, but there’s one upcoming show that can fill that spot in your schedule — AMC’s Lucky Hank starring Bob Odenkirk. Adapted from the novel Straight Man, by Richard Russo, English professor Hank Devereaux Jr. (Odenkirk) is incapable of saying anything tactful. “I’m concerned that I might say something really consistent with my personality,†he tells his dean (Oscar Nuñez) in the trailer, “but inconsistent with a modern college campus.†Later on, he fights a goose. The Killing’s Mireille Enos co-stars as Hank’s wife, Lily, a high-school vice-principal fed up with his temperament. The series stars Sara Amini (CSI: Vegas), Diedrich Bader (Napoleon Dynamite), Suzanne Cryer (Silicon Valley), Olivia Scott Welch (Fear Street), and Cedric Yarbrough (Reno 911!). Lucky Hank premieres on AMC, AMC+, BBC America, IFC, and SundanceTV at 9 p.m. ET on March 19, so there’s more than enough time to study up, you lucky ducks.
