Charlie Sheen and Chuck Lorre are partnering with each other once again, with Variety reporting that Sheen is joining Lorre on the upcoming Max series How to Be a Bookie.
Sheen will join the series as a recurring character and will join star Sebastian Maniscalco in Lorre’s new series. Besides Maniscalco and Sheen, How to Be a Bookie will also feature Omar J. Dorsey, Andrea Anders, Vanessa Ferlito, and Jorge Garcia.
The show has already received an eight-episode order from Warner Bros. Discovery and will come from Lorre and Nick Bakay. How to Be a Bookie follows Maniscalco’s character Danny, a “veteran bookie who struggles to survive the impending legalization of sports gambling, increasingly unstable clients, family, co-workers, and a lifestyle that bounces him around every corner of Los Angeles, high and low.”
Sheen and Lorre previously worked together on the hit CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men, which Sheen starred in and earned four Emmy nominations for during his time on the show.
However, Sheen and Lorre had an infamous falling out during the eighth season of the show, when Sheen had a public meltdown and subsequently went into a rehabilitation program for his substance addiction. Sheen would go on to make disparaging remarks about Lorre and his time on the series, but it seems like the two have moved past their past issues.
