AMC Networks has announced that it had greenlit a new series starring Bob Odenkirk for 2023 called Straight Man, with partners Sony Pictures’ Television TriStar TV and Gran Via. The project was announced as fast-track development earlier this month in advance of AMC Networks’ upfront event in New York City, and that turned out to be one fast track.

Aaron Zelman and Paul Lieberstein, who are adapting the project from the novel of the same name by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Russo, would serve as co-showrunners. Straight Man would be Odenkirk’s third series on AMC, following Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

US comedian, actor and podcaster Brandon Wardell (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Like and Subscribe, Special and I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson) is set to make his UK debut at the Soho Theatre from 9th - 14th May at 9pm.

It will also explore connections between fan-favorite characters from both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

Presenters for the ACE Eddie Awards include Debbie Allen, Andy Garcia, Oscar® winning filmmaker Chloe Zhao, Oscar® nominee Aunjanue Ellis, King Richard director Reinaldo Marcus Green, Oscar® nominee for Summer of Soul Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson,” Danny Strong (Dopesick), Emilio Estevez, Peter Sarsgaard, Tom Blyth (The Gilded Age), and more.

James Corden connects with his friend Bob Odenkirk, who is hanging out in his son's room that he's commandeered.

And the 'Nobody' star talks about his role as the unsuspecting hero.
