“English Teacher,” one of the buzziest comedies of the 2024 television season, will officially be coming back for Season 2. The 10-episode installment is expected to premiere in 2025.

“‘English Teacher’ was one of the most critically acclaimed new shows of 2024 and we are grateful to the producers, writers, cast, directors and crew for the show’s creative excellence,” Nick Grad, president of FX Entertainment, said in a Friday statement. “We look forward to the new season.”

Created by Brian Jordan Alvarez, “English Teacher” follows Evan Marquez, a high school teacher in Austin, Texas. Most of the series revolves around Evan grandstanding, often about his liberal beliefs, only to be defeated time and time again by his own ego and short-sightedness. As he navigates his relationships with his friends, co-workers, students and on-again, off-again boyfriend, the series asks, “Can you really be your full self at your job?”

In addition to Alvarez, “English Teacher” stars Stephanie Koenig,...

It looks like a second season of English Teacher is about to become a reality.

The hit series – which stars creator and executive producer Brian Jordan Alvarez, Stephanie Koenig, Enrico Colantoni and Sean Patton – premiered to warm reviews on FX in September 2024.

Talk about a second season first started picking up steam in October. However, the conversation was waylaid when a former costar accused Brian of assault. The actor denied the allegations.

This week, a new report provided some promising news for fans.

According to reporting by TV Line, a renewal is coming soon. In fact, the show might be moving quickly on the new season.

The outlet reported that “production is tentatively set to resume later this month.”

Brian has previously expressed interest in a second season, saying, “I am completely ready to make as much of this show as is humanly possible.

It was a great year for FX shows! Over the years, FX has routinely cranked out some of the best shows on TV. That did not change this year.

Although we’re not seeing as many FX shows in the past, the quality has not dipped in the slightest. Honestly, it might have even improved. To make sure you didn’t miss any of the great shows on FX, we shared our list of the five best FX shows of 2024.

You can watch each series on Hulu and Disney+ right now.

Let’s get the list of the best FX shows of the year started with the best show on TV all year long, and that’s Shogun!

Shogun

I don’t know how many people agree that this was the best show of the year, but it was! Shogun just won the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series at the 76th Annual Primetime Emmys,...

With critical and fan favorites like The White Lotus, Stranger Things, and Severance not set to make their return until next year, 2024 was notable for its abundance of new shows. The vast majority of our list of the best TV shows of the year is composed of fresh properties or limited series: Netflix delivered one-off psychosexual thrills with Richard Gadd’s Baby Reindeer and the more understated neo-noir Ripley, while HBO and FX struck queer comedy gold with the surrealist Fantasmas and the more conventionally sitcom-styled English Teacher, respectively.

Of course, 2024 saw a few holdovers from previous years, two of which—The Bear and True Detective—met with mixed reactions from audiences but rewarded patient observers with their weighty takes on family, community, and the nature of being. And, in its third season, Hacks continued to deftly balance comedy and drama. Next year’s new and returning shows should consider the bar raised.

Created by and starring Brian Jordan Alvarez, English Teacher premiered on FX on Monday, September 2. Season 1 consists of eight thirty-minute episodes and follows Evan Marquez, a teacher in Texas who "finds himself at the intersection of the personal, professional, and political aspects of working at a high school." In addition to Alvarez, the main cast includes Stephanie Koenig, Sean Patton, Enrico Colantoni, Carmen Christopher, and Jordan Firstman.

Koenig plays Gwen Sanders, an optimistic history teacher at Morrison-Hensley High who tends to see the best in people, even when she shouldn't. The actor starred in Apple TV+'s Emmy-nominated series Lessons in Chemistry alongside Brie Larson and has also been featured in projects such as Sick Girl, The Offer, and The Flight Attendant. While English Teacher is yet to be renewed for a second season, the cast remains optimistic about the show's return.

Stephanie Koenig always knew one aspect of “English Teacher” would work. The FX comedy was created by her Bff Brian Jordan Alvarez, who stars as Evan Marquez, a gay high school English teacher in Austin, Texas. Koenig, who also serves as a writer and story editor, plays Gwen Sanders, Evan’s Bff and a history teacher. “I’d work with Brian previously, so I knew that was going to feel lived-in,” she tells Gold Derby. “We already had chemistry. We’re best friends in real life.”

What surprised her, however, was the immediate chemistry they had with the rest of the cast: Enrico Colantoni, who plays Grant, the principal; Sean Patton, who plays Markie, the gym teacher; and Carmen Christopher, who plays Rick, the counselor. “It was like, ‘Wait, you guys all…'” she continues. “It just felt very lived-in from the start. And I also think there’s also...

The devil works hard, but Brian Jordan Alvarez works harder. For the past month, the creator, writer, director, and star of “English Teacher” has been dining out on the “I Love Your Daughter” meme to promote the FX comedy. The TikTok trend started in September after a user posted a clip from a Season 2 episode of “Gilmore Girls.” In it, Kirk (Sean Gunn), who has made a black-and-white short film, tells his girlfriend’s father, “I love your daughter.” When the father asks what he has to offer, Kirk says, “Nothing. Only this,” and proceeds to awkwardly dance. The sequence in the episode is set to Melle Mel‘s “White Lines (Don’t Do It),” but the TikTok edit swaps it out for Olly Alexander‘s “Breathe.”

The Best TV Comedy Actor race at the 2025 Golden Globes looks to be getting some fresh blood in the form of Brian Jordan Alvarez (“English Teacher”). He plays Evan Marquez on FX’s freshman comedy series that takes place at the fictional Morrison-Hensley High School. Alvarez has skyrocketed up to fifth place to win this category, compared to two months ago when he placed outside of Gold Derby’s predicted nominees.

Alvarez’s likely co-nominees, according to our Golden Globe predictions for Best TV Comedy Actor, are Jeremy Allen White (“The Bear”) at 18/5 odds, Steve Martin (“Only Murders in the Building”) at 9/2 odds, Martin Short (“Only Murders in the Building”) at 5/1 odds, Jason Segel (“Shrinking”) at 15/2 odds, and Vince Vaughn (“Bad Monkey”) at 10/1 odds.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for English Teacher Season 1, Episode 8, “Birthday.”] FX‘s English Teacher has been a comedic gem this fall, and although the final bell has rung on Season 1, star Stephanie Koenig has high hopes for the return of Gwen Sanders and the rest of her high school colleagues in the Austin, Texas-set series. Gwen had quite the finale episode moment. A breakup with her boyfriend led to a hilariously unhinged musical performance at a bar where she and coworkers were hosting a surprise birthday party for her best friend Evan (Brian Jordan Alvarez). TV Insider caught up with the star to discuss Gwen’s moment in the spotlight, including whether or not her tune was improvised. Plus, she’s digging into thoughts and feelings about the potential romance between Gwen and the school coach with a heart of gold, Markie (Sean Patton), whose crush was further defined and revealed to Evan in Episode 8’s final moments.

Editor's note: The below interview contains spoilers for the finale of English Teacher.When English Teacher first premiered on FX earlier this fall, there was no telling whether the comedy drama series would catch on with viewers but week after week, Brian Jordan Alvarez's show has continued to draw in all kinds of praise on social media. The show follows the titular educator Evan Marquez (Alvarez) as he navigates the professional aspects of his job working at a high school in Austin, Texas with the personal issues pertaining to his sexuality and liberal perspective. Over the course of the school year, Evan also develops stronger relationships with his co-workers including his best friend Gwen Sanders (Stephanie Koenig), gym teacher Markie Hillridge (Sean Patton), principal Grant Moretti (Enrico Colantoni), and counselor Rick Santana (Carmen Christopher) but also has to balance work expectation with his crush on a handsome new hire...

It’s rare for a freshman comedy to find its footing as quickly as “English Teacher” has. Once that rhythm is found, it’s even rarer for a series to completely challenge that difficult-to-establish flow.

Yet that’s what Brian Jordan Alvarez’s FX comedy does just five episodes in thanks to “Field Trip,” an episode that explores Evan’s (Alvarez) relationship with his best friend, Gwen (Stephanie Koenig).

“I was really excited and eager [for the episode], mainly because I want to give her depth,” Koenig told TheWrap. “[Gwen] is very positive and tries to see the good in things. But she’s also a person who isn’t at all perfect and gets sad,” Koenig said. “Also, Evan is like her favorite, favorite person. So if there’s any sort of trouble within that relationship, it’s like a bomb went off. It’s just nice to see that she’s a real person.

Hulu's new comedy series, English Teacher, is the perfect replacement for Glenn Howerton's A.P. Bio. English Teacher follows Evan Marquez (Brian Jordan Alvarez) who navigates teaching high school English while balancing various personal and professional issues. Some of these issues are created or exacerbated by Evan's colleagues, including his best friend, Gwen Sanders (Stephanie Koenig), the conflict-averse Principal Grant Moretti (Enrico Colantoni), and the eccentric gym teacher, Markie Hillridge (Sean Patton). With the series' 97% Rotten Tomatoes score, it has been well-received.

While English Teacher is just beginning its comedic story that unfolds in a high school setting, A.P. Bio has already aired four seasons. The first two seasons aired on NBC, leading to the series' first cancelation, before being revived for two additional seasons that streamed on Peacock. While there are key differences between English Teacher and A.P. Bio, Hulu's new comedy series is reminiscent of A.

Monday’s episode of FX’s English Teacher started with a literal bang — a deep, echoing gunshot heard by creator Brian Jordan Alvarez’s titular English teacher (first name Evan) as he walked to meet his classroom of students. Evan throws his hot coffee across his dress shirt and falls to the floor in a truncated attempt at crawling, then grabs two students from the hallway and ushers them to safety in a nearby classroom.

Evan is panicked, but the kids are unimpressed — apathetic, even —and tell him that the sound was not actually reason for emergency, but rather the standard proceedings of Markie (Sean Patton) the gym teacher’s student gun club.

The setup feels serious as these sentences come together, but there’s something about the pacing of its events that maintain the comedy’s lightheartedness; the audience knows they’re supposed to laugh, even before they know everyone is safe.

Brian Jordan Alvarez is one of the most interesting voices in comedy. The general public likely recognizes him as Estéfan in "Will & Grace," Wesley in "Jane the Virgin," or Cole in "M3GAN," but real ones know that he's the brilliant mind behind the Gotham Award-nominated five-part web comedy series "The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo" ... and, if you've spent any time on TikTok, his hit viral universe of filterface characters like Tj Mack. Now, Alvarez serves as the creator, executive producer, and star of the FX workplace comedy "English Teacher," the best new comedy of 2024 and the rare show that manages to tackle Gen Z without sounding like it was written by a bunch of dinosaurs who still ask their nephews to help them open PDFs.

In a world full of TV reboots and rehashes of the same idea, FX has started its fall with “English Teacher,” a new comedy from Brian Jordan Alvarez. The series already secured a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and has inspired posts from viewers on Twitter in TikTok.

Set in Austin, Texas, “English Teacher” follows an openly gay teacher by the name of Evan Marquez who wants to encourage his students and community to be more accepting. More often than not, that desire leads to Evan having to confront his own assumptions and being forced to chill out. Wonder who’s who in the new show filled with new faces? Here’s your guide to the cast of this comedy.

Before creating and starring in “English Teacher,” Alvarez starred in the reboot...

English Teacher, a new sitcom with a 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes, has become a hit on streaming after just two episodes. The show hails from Brian Jordan Alvarez, the creator and executive producer, who viewers may recognize for his roles in shows like Jane the Virgin and the rebooted Will & Grace. He's also appeared in films such as 80 for Brady and the hit horror-comedy M3GAN. But with his new series, Alvarez is stepping into the lead role in an interesting way.

New data from Reelgood reveals that English Teacher is already making an impression on the streaming charts. The FX show, which streams on Hulu, took eighth place in the overall Top 10 for the week of August 29 through September 4, across all platforms. When looking only at television shows, however, the sitcom ranks higher and comes in fifth. Kaos, the new Netflix fantasy drama starring Jeff Goldblum, takes the top spot overall.

Saddle up, y’all, Apple TV+’s “Slow Horses” is finally back in action.

After earning nine Emmy nominations for its excellent third season, including one for Best Drama Series and acting bids for Gary Oldman, Jack Lowden and Jonathan Pryce, the darkly comedic espionage thriller about MI5’s worst spies returns this week with its most personal outing yet.

In the new season, the first episode of which is now streaming, River (Lowden) finds himself caught in the crosshairs after his grandfather (Pryce), a former high-ranking member of the intelligence service who is now in the early stages of dementia, is attacked by an assailant impersonating River. As the younger Cartwright and the rest of Slough House attempt to get to the bottom of this latest mess, numerous personal and professional secrets are revealed that threaten not just our beloved, screwed-up heroes, but the whole of MI5 as well.

English Teacher is a comedy-drama series created by Brian Jordan Alvarez.

Mr. Iglesias (Netflix) Credit – Netflix

Mr. Iglesias is a comedy series created by Kevin Hench. The Netflix series follows the story of Gabe Iglesias, a passionate and hilarious history teacher at the Woodrow Wilson High School where he tries to educate a group of misfit students with the help of his equally misfits colleagues.

Evan Marquez (Brian Jordan Alvarez) is going through it.

The high school English teacher in suburban Texas recently broke up with boyfriend Malcolm (Jordan Firstman), is under investigation by the school board for kissing him in front of students, doesn’t want to be a local queer hero, and is also expressly forbidden from dating fellow teachers, like handsome new hire Harry (Langston Kerman).

FX’s latest comedy stays true to its genre, with laugh-out-loud dialogue, casually outrageous characters, and scenarios that could be out of the sitcom handbook on the surface, but get sharpened to a 2024 clip by Alvarez and fellow writers Stephanie Koenig, Jake Bender, Zach Dunn, and Dave King. Jokes fly so fast that they could be improvised, setting the bar from the very first scene for a show bursting with humor even when the plot goes off course.

“English Teacher” has been percolating since summer of...

One of the funniest shows of the year is premiering on FX this fall. Say hello to “English Teacher,” Brian Jordan Alvarez’s unexpected comedy about the highs and lows of teaching these days.

In addition to Alvarez, the series is executive produced by Paul Simms (“What We Do in the Shadows”), Jonathan Krisel and Dave King. Wondering when and how you can watch after seeing ads for this new show on social media? Here’s what you need to know.

When does “English Teacher” come out?

The first two episodes of FX’s latest comedy series will premiere on Monday, Sept. 2 at 10 p.m. Et/Pt.

Is “English Teacher” on streaming?

Yes. A day after the comedy’s premiere on FX, “English Teacher” will be available to watch on Hulu. That means the first two episodes will be available to watch on Hulu starting Sept. 3.

Are episodes released weekly or all at once?...

Hear that bell? Yes, FX is taking us back to school with the new comedy English Teacher.

Monday’s premiere introduces us to Evan, played by star and series creator Brian Jordan Alvarez, who grooves to the ’80s classic “Maniac” before heading into work (late) as a teacher at an Austin high school. He marvels to his colleague Gwen (Stephanie Koenig) at lunch that his students are “not into being woke anymore.” (“They’re saying the R-word again,” Gwen notes.) Gym teacher Markie (Sean Patton) then launches into a rant against Communist China, but they loudly remind him, “No politics!

When Paul Simms, the executive producer behind such comedy hits as “Atlanta” and “What We Do in the Shadows,” first stumbled upon Brian Jordan Alvarez, he wasn’t looking for a new show. Instead, he was wasting time on Twitter when he noticed someone mention the web series “The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo.”

“I clicked on it because I had nothing else to do,” Simms told TheWrap. “I was like, ‘This guy is really funny.'” That social media rabbit hole led to Simms meeting Alvarez and — ultimately — FX greenlighting its latest buzzy comedy series, “English Teacher.”

Created by and starring Alvarez alongside his longtime comedy partner Stephanie Koenig, “English Teacher” follows the life of Evan Marquez, an openly gay teacher in Austin, Texas. At his core, Evan wants to be a principled person. But between demanding parents, confusing teenagers and his own foibles, those admirable goals...

The English language is a powerful tool. To wit, the phrase “high school” can evoke a myriad of responses depending upon who reads them. For actual young adults, it’s the recognition pressures — social, societal, educational — of their current reality. For the teachers, it’s an understanding they’re helping to shape young minds at a critical stage. For parents, it’s a desire to have some level of control and influence before their kids go off to define themselves. For those in their 30s, it’s a time from long ago that we’re likely not keen to return to or think about in any capacity. In short, it’s a rich text full of contradictions to explore in a television show.

Brian Jordan Alvarez’s “English Teacher” is an FX comedy all about contrasts. Set in Austin, Texas, each episode opens with Alvarez’s Evan Marquez getting ready...

If there’s one complaint to be made about English Teacher, it’s that there simply isn’t enough of it. The show’s first season comprises just eight 20ish-minute installments — which, in fairness, is well in line with the likes of other FX comedies like What We Do in the Shadows or Dave or The Bear (setting aside whether that last one is really a “comedy” at all).

And yet I couldn’t help feeling that in this case, it wasn’t quite enough. Because with such a sharp ensemble, smart perspective and finely honed sense of humor right out the gate, this one feels built to keep going — toward a broadcast-standard 22-episode season, even, hopefully for years and years. This, to be sure, is a great problem for a freshman series to have. If its initial brevity means English Teacher currently demonstrates more potential than it actually has the time to fulfill,...

Head back to school with Hulu! This September, the streamer will help FX usher several new series premieres, including the new comedy “English Teacher,” created by and starring Brian Jordan Alvarez as a high school teacher stuck at the cross-section of the, personal, professional, and political. For the graduating class, Season 2 of the college-set Hulu Original series “Tell Me Lies” will premiere, as well, followed by weekly episodes throughout September and October.

On Friday the 13th, catch thrills with FX’s cat-and-mouse drama “The Old Man,” starring Emmy nominee Jeff Bridges and Jeff Lithgow, which will have its Season 2 streaming premiere. Ryan Murphy’s latest network collaboration, the horror drama “Grotesquerie,” starring Niecy Nash-Betts and Michaela Diamond, will also debut later in the month.

High school has been a reliable TV sitcom setting since the days of Welcome Back, Kotter, but the situation in American schools is so fraught these days, it’s not exactly a laugh riot.

Exclusive: This Joka, a stand-up comedy series exec produced by Will Smith, will not be returning for a second season on Roku.

The streaming service launched the series, which came via its acquisition of short-form service Quibi, in March.

The series features a raft of stand ups including Punkie Johnson and Chris Estrada.

Deadline understands that the decision had nothing to do with the Oscars incident, where Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock on stage, but a somewhat unusual issue with timing.

Roku is believed to never really have had the option to renew the series, which is produced by Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s Westbrook Studios and Topgolf Entertainment Group. The option to renew lapsed before Roku launched the show, and certainly before the streamer had the chance to analyse its viewing data, meaning that it was unlikely to return for a second season on the platform.

The show...

Will Smith is joining the ever-growing sheaf of Hollywood talent in Quibi’s quiver.

The Jeffrey Katzenberg-founded mobile subscription service announced the acquisition of “This Joka,” a 16-episode stand-up comedy series hosted and executive produced by Smith. Quibi is set to debut next Monday, April 6, with 50-odd shows. For now, there’s no premiere date for Smith’s series.

There’s a golf tie-in: “This Joka” is a co-production of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s Westbrook Media and Topgolf Studios, a unit of golf-venue chain Topgolf Entertainment Group. The show is shot on location at Topgolf’s Las Vegas driving-range venue and other spots across Sin City.

In the show, Smith plays host to a diverse guest list of comedians, ranging from up-and-comers to legendary performers. “This Joka” showcases their stand-up sets and will feature one-on-one conversations between Smith and the comedians plus docu-style moments shot backstage and around Vegas.

Exclusive: Quibi has acquired This Joka, a 16-episode stand-up comedy series hosted and executive produced by Will Smith. The series hails from Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith’s Westbrook Studios and Topgolf Entertainment Group.

Westbrook and Topgolf had been developing This Joka since last October as part of their partnership to create original entertainment. It marks the first series pickup for Westbrook since Terence Carter joined the company last fall as Co-President, Head Of Television.

According Brooklyn Vegan, the comedian performed multiple sets at The Comedy Cellar, a New York club favored by Louis C.K., who was accused of sexual misconduct in November of 2017. While Ansari’s appearance was not advertised, he reportedly performed multiple surprise drop-in sets from Wednesday to Sunday of last week. Topics covered included Starbucks, racism, millennials, as well as some crowd work. The comedian and “Master of None” creator has been keeping a low profile since the allegations initially broke.

On January 13, the website Babe.net published a firsthand account from an anonymous 23-year-old woman who said Ansari behaved inappropriately while on a September 2017 date with her. “I believe that I was taken advantage of by Aziz,” she said. “I was not listened to and ignored.
