First look at the new Stan drama Lucky Hank starring Breaking Bad royalty Bob Odenkirk

Stan has dropped a first look teaser trailer for the new series Lucky Hank, starring Breaking Bad royalty Bob Odenkirk.

The show, which is an adaptation of Richard Russo's 1997 novel Straight Man, will premiere on March 20, the very same day as the US and only on Stan.

Stream Lucky Hank from March 20 only on Stan.

The new series will see Odenkirk play William Henry 'Hank' Devereaux Jr, a wise-cracking anarchistic chairman of the English department at a struggling college in Pennsylvania.

The series, which is described as a "midlife crisis tale," will delve into his character's career and personal life for eight one hour episodes.

In the trailer, which you can watch at the top of this article, Odenkirk's character stares bluntly at the camera while a voice-over of himself utters the words: "I've always been a difficult man.

"I speciailise in minor strife and insignificant irritation. That's my lane."

The series is from the executive producers of Breaking Bad and its spin-off Better Call Saul, so you already know that Lucky Hank is well worth a watch.

Odenkirk played the character of Saul Goodman on both the shows.

Also starring in Lucky Hank is Mireille Enos (The Killing, World War Z, Hanna) as Odenkirk's wife, and Olivia Scott Welch (Panic, Marvel's Agent Carter) as his daughter.

The cast also includes Suzanne Cryer (Silicon Valley) Diedrich Bader (Miss Congeniality), Sara Amini (Find Me), and Cedric Yarbrough (Reno 911, Bones).
