Charlie Sheen Returns to Comedy TV With New Show Announcement,
Martin Sheen Co-Stars
--------------------------------------------------------------
Charlie Sheen is heading back to TV. The actor is returning to
lead a family comedy with his father, Martin Sheen. It's also
his first time back in front of a live studio audience in
12 years.
AMC Global Media has ordered Happy Jack, a six-episode
multi-camera sitcom that will begin production in Los Angeles
early next year. The show will premiere on AMC and AMC+ in
2027, per The Hollywood Reporter.
Charlie Sheen stars as Jack Chambers, with Martin Sheen
playing his on-screen father. The series will be filmed in
front of a live studio audience at Warner Bros. Studios in
Burbank, on the same soundstage where Friends was filmed.
Happy Jack marks AMC's first multi-camera sitcom.
The story follows Jack, a man who has built a business around
a booze company named after himself. His straight-laced
daughter is his business partner, while his free-spirited
daughter pursues a musical career.
When his younger daughter returns home and announces her plan
to marry a man as old as Jack, the situation becomes
challenging for the family. Jack must deal with his
daughter's relationship while trying to be a more involved
father.
Here's what to know about Happy Jack and the team behind
Charlie Sheen's TV return
Happy Jack comes from Jim Patterson and Matt Ross, who
previously worked on Two and a Half Men. Eric and Kim
Tannenbaum, who also executive produced that sitcom, are
among the executive producers on the series.
Charlie Sheen is also an executive producer, alongside
Todd Christopher and Jason Wang. The project is produced by
AMC Studios and The Tannenbaum Company.
Sheen addressed the project in a statement, saying he was
excited to return to television with a show and adding, "The
crew has reassembled - suffice it to say, it's time to give
the people what they want."
The sitcom marks another collaboration between the Sheens
after their appearances together. Martin Sheen has also
discussed the project with his son on his podcast, where
Charlie described Happy Jack as a family sitcom.
AMC plans to present the series to buyers at MIPCOM in Cannes
in October, ahead of its 2027 premiere.
