FX Premieres Comedy Series 'English Teacher'

Brian Jordan Alvarez's new FX comedy series 'English Teacher' premiered on September 2, 2024, featuring Alvarez as Evan Marquez, a gay high school English teacher in Austin, Texas. The show, co-written with Stephanie Koenig, navigates the challenges of teaching literature and dealing with difficult parents, students, and colleagues in a politically divided environment. The series, praised for its humor and clever approach, stands out for its low-stakes, warm-hearted comedy, reminiscent of 'Abbott Elementary' but with an edgier tone. 'English Teacher' airs weekly on FX with episodes available the following day on Hulu. The show explores themes of authenticity and the complex dynamics within the school community.
