Here’s the latest I could verify about Rooster in Australia as of now.
- The HBO comedy Rooster, starring Steve Carell, premiered in 2026 and was renewed for a second season in 2026. This renewal was reported by Variety and other outlets, noting strong early viewership on HBO Max and the involvement of Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses.[1][3]
- In early 2026, reviews noted that the show leans into character-driven humor with a campus setting, and while some critics found the season’s trajectory a bit scattershot, praise was directed at the cast and the warmth of the central relationships.[2]
- Availability in Australia is typically tied to HBO Max content distribution or local streaming partners; Australia-specific airing details and schedules for Rooster were not consistently published in the immediate reporting I found. You can check local streaming guides or the Austalian HBO/Warner Bros platforms for current availability.[3][1]

- Rooster follows a father-daughter dynamic on a college campus, with ensemble cast including Steve Carell and Charly Clive; this setup is central to its humor and heart.[1][2]
If you’d like, I can pull more current Australian-specific air dates or regional streaming links and summarize them in a quick, up-to-date snapshot. I can also monitor for any new renewals or country-specific releases and deliver a concise update.
