Lionsgate television has announced that they are committing to ten episodes for a new sitcom featuring Charlie Sheen. According to the fired actor will be the star and have creative licence. Sources say that the show will be similar to Two and a Half Men and networks are scrambling to pick up the new sitcom.
“The show can be raunchier and more outrageous, which is perfect for Charlie,” says one source.
The news comes as writer/producer Chuck Lorre attempts to burn any bridges when it comes to the often erratic actor. TMZ is reporting that the Sheen’s character, Charlie Harper, may be driving off a cliff at the start of next seasons “Men”. The manor of Harpers’ death could very well be a metaphor for the producers view of Sheen’s career.
Up until this point, fans were in the dark as to how Aston Kutcher was going to “replace” Sheen. Rumors are that Kutchers character buys Harpers’ house after the tiger blood actor is fataly written out of the script.
Denise Richards weighed in, telling reporters, “I am sad to see Charlie not on the show. Nobody can replace Charlie. The show was written for him and he was so brilliant at it, but I think Ashton will make it his own.”
Taping for the “original” Two and a Half Men is set for August 5 and will air in September.
