HBO Comedy 'Rooster' Promotes Three Cast Members to Series Regulars
Maximo Salas, Annie Mumolo, and Rory Scovel have been promoted to series regulars for Season 2 of HBO's 'Rooster.' Salas plays Tommy, Mumolo plays Cristle, and Scovel plays Officer Donnie Mullins. The show stars Steve Carell and is produced by Bill Lawrence.
The promotions elevate three supporting players into the main ensemble for the show's sophomore run. Salas's Tommy was revealed as Mumolo's character's son during the first season, with his classroom writing connection to Carell's Greg forming a key storyline. Mumolo's Cristle serves as an assistant to the college president and shared a romantic dynamic with Greg.
Scovel's Officer Donnie Mullins maintains a watchful presence over Greg's activities. The series, headlined by Carell and overseen by producer Bill Lawrence, joins a portfolio of eight Lawrence-backed television projects that includes the acclaimed "Ted Lasso."
The elevation of these performers signals confidence in the show's ensemble chemistry as it builds its second season. For viewers, expanded roles for Tommy, Cristle, and Mullins could deepen the comedic and emotional dynamics established in season one, particularly the family connection and workplace relationships. The show's association with Bill Lawrence's track record may attract continued audience interest
