FX’s English Teacher is coming to FX in September, and we have to say this new school comedy gets an A+ from us, right off the bat. The show stars Brian Jordan Alvarez as “Evan Marquez,” a high school teacher in Austin, Texas who “often finds himself at the intersection of the personal, professional, and political aspects of working at a high school.” What does that even mean? Well, he wants to be a conscientious person but often runs into trouble because of it.
High school, am I right? It doesn’t matter if you’re a student or a teacher.
Also in the cast is his best friend Gwen Sanders, (Stephanie Koenig), the “eager and optimistic history teacher who tends to see the best in people, even when she probably shouldn’t.” Then there’s PE teacher Markie Hillridge (Sean Patton). “When they aren’t disagreeing, Markie and Evan share a genuine bond… but they’re usually disagreeing.”
Principal Grant Moretti (Enrico Colantoni) “wants nothing more than peace and the path of least resistance—a path Evan is rarely willing to take.” Then there’s Guidance Counselor Rick (Carmen Christopher) “who barely wants to be at the school but still loves hanging out with the other teachers.”
Finally, the cast is rounded out by Evan’s ex-boyfriend Malcolm (Jordan Firstman), a former teacher at Morrison, and Harry (Langston Kerman), a charming new teacher with whom he seems to have chemistry with.
