‘English Teacher’
Had a bad day? In desperate need of a good laugh? Or simply on the hunt for a new favorite show? Brian Jordan Alvarez’s English Teacher is at your service. Whether you tune in live on FX or stream on Hulu, the fresh comedy about Evan Marquez (Alvarez) — an openly gay high school English teacher navigating work, life, and political issues in Austin, Texas, — is an absolute must-watch. Joining Evan at Morrison-Hensley High School is history teacher Gwen Sanders (Stephanie Koenig), gym teacher Markie Hillridge (Sean Patton), college counselor Rick (Carmen Christopher), and Principal Grant Moretti (Enrico Colantoni). As the faculty navigates relationships, students, parents, and all sorts of unexpected left turns, you’ll find yourself grinning ear to ear over English Teacher’s sharp comedy, brilliant performances, and invigorating needle drops.
