It’s a good time to be a Bill Lawrence fan. The Scrubs creator recently brought his ABC sitcom back to life; his Apple TV comedy Shrinking will return, as will his crime drama Bad Monkey. And now, his newest TV project has just gotten renewed, too. Rooster, which he co-created alongside frequent collaborator Mike Tarses, has been picked up for a sophomore run. Per HBO’s press release, it’s shaping up to be the cable network’s most-watched comedy in over a decade, with the first four episodes averaging 5.8 million viewers.
