- Oct 4, 2026
Cue the applause sign! The Sheen family is set for an amusing family reunion on the small screen. Remember the comedic duo Charlie Sheen and Martin Sheen? They're about to hit your screens once more with their hilarious antics as they play a father and son in a new comedy series titled "Happy Jack".
In this guffaw-inducing series, Charlie Sheen steps into the shoes of Jack, a life-loving slacker blessed with fantastic daughters. It's a typical father-son drama but with a classic Sheen twist that's bound to have you in stitches. The part you've been waiting for: live studio audience! Remember the good ol’ days of "Friends"? That's right, the laughter will serve as your infectious background score, thanks to a live studio audience at Warner Bros. Studios. Did we mention it’s the very same studio where "Friends" was filmed?
The Sheens team up with some big guns in the entertainment industry. The script, in the capable hands of Jim Patterson and Matt Ross, promises a barrel of laughs in each of the six episodes for the first season. And guess who else is on board? None other than the Tannenbaums. Not only are they bringing the merriment, but Charlie Sheen will also serve as an executive producer for the series. Talk about wearing many hats!
The big shots at AMC are thrilled to be adding this series to their roaster. As stated by Dan McDermott, chief content officer of AMC Global Media and president of AMC Studios, "AMC is all aglow to bring the Sheen charisma to our audiences. Having previously worked with Charlie Sheen, we know his remarkable talent to entertain and hold the screen."

It's not the first time that the Sheens have brought their chemistry to the screen. From "Wall Street" to "Two and A Half Men," the father and son duo has consistently kept audiences amused. This time around, Charlie is eager to return in a big way. He expressed his excitement, saying, "This moment came at the right time, thanks to AMC. It's high time we gave the viewers what they're clamoring for."
Charlie Sheen, the man behind some legendary characters in shows like "Spin City," "Two and A Half Men," and "Anger Management," is teaming up on this venture with his equally acclaimed father, Martin Sheen. A ten-time Emmy nominee, Martin Sheen has shone in many masterpieces, from "The West Wing" to "The Departed."
The Sheens are brought together by their past collaborators, Patterson and Ross, who previously worked with Charlie on "Two and A Half Men," and went on to join forces on the Netflix comedy "The Ranch."
So, folks, mark your calendars! With the unparalleled Sheen wit, "Happy Jack" promises to not just tickle your funny bone but downright poke it! Prepare for the Sheen rollercoaster of laughs hitting the AMC and AMC+ screens in 2027. And remember, the laughter starts in the very same place where "Friends" was filmed. Imagine that!
