Charlie Sheen is set to make a comeback on the small screen with a recurring role in the new sitcom How to Be a Bookie on HBO Max. The show, created by Chuck Lorre, is scheduled to debut later this year with eight episodes.

Sebastian Maniscalco will star as an L.A. bookie navigating the complexities of his profession, including unstable clients and a chaotic lifestyle. The sitcom is set against the backdrop of the legalization of sports betting in the US.

Charlie Sheen, known for his role as Charlie Harper in Two and a Half Men, co-created by Chuck Lorre, is no stranger to high-stakes betting. His character in the new sitcom is likely to be one of the lead actor's unstable clients, adding to the comedic chaos.
