  ENGLISH TEACHER  

NEW FX AND HULU COMEDY SERIES

English Teacher streams from September 2nd

As all of my colleagues around the world will tell you, this is probably the worst time in history to be a teacher, and not just because of the classes filled with immature millennials or disrespectful, egotistic and intolerable gen Z brats, but also because we live in the times where kids come to school with zero manners and respect towards their elders filled with privileged anger and bitterness, plus the all holier than thou attitude. This can all be seen in new half hour comedy series ENGLISH TEACHER which streams on FX and Hulu from September 2nd and will have ten episodes. 

 

 

The series will stream in ten episodes

ENGLISH TEACHER STARS

  Will and Grace star Brian Jordan Alvarez as Evan, an Austin high school teacher striving to meet the conflicting needs of students and parents amidst ever-changing rules. Evan wants to be a principled person but often runs into trouble because of it. By Evan’s side at Morrison-Hensley High is his friend group of other teachers. Chief among them is his best friend Gwen Sanders (Stephanie Koenig), the eager and optimistic history teacher who tends to see the best in people, even when she probably shouldn’t. Then there’s PE teacher Markie Hillridge (Sean Patton).

Brian Jordan Alvarez leads the new series

Though he can seem gruff and abrasive, beneath the surface, he possesses a knowledge of human nature that often proves valuable to Evan. When they aren’t disagreeing, Markie and Evan share a genuine bond… but they’re usually disagreeing. Principal Grant Moretti (Enrico Colantoni) wants nothing more than peace and the path of least resistance, a path Evan is rarely willing to take. While Grant keeps his own opinions close to the vest, he respects Evan’s passion, even if it makes his own job more difficult. Guidance Counselor Rick (Carmen Christopher) barely wants to be at this school, he sees himself as an entrepreneur, but still loves hanging out with the other teachers. Evan’s boyfriend Malcolm (Jordan Firstman) is a former teacher at Morrison. Wild and free-thinking, Malcolm often draws Evan back into a pseudo-relationship. When Grant informs Evan that he is being placed under investigation for a long-dormant incident where he and Malcolm kissed in front of students, Evan suddenly feels that he’s under a microscope and is being targeted for his sexuality. Evan is left with one rule to abide by: no relationships with faculty… only to meet Harry (Langston Kerman), a charming new teacher who seems to be interested in him.
