FX Networks has signed on to air 10 episodes of Anger Management, a series which will feature Sheen as a therapist with a short temper. The show will be based on the 2003 movie which starred Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler.

The sitcom will premiere next summer and FX will pick up 90 more episodes if the ratings are strong.

John Landgraf, President and General Manager of FX Networks, says: “We think that Bruce Helford, Joe Roth and Charlie Sheen have come up with a wonderful, hilarious vehicle for Charlie’s acting talents – and a character we are very much looking forward to seeing him play. Two and a Half Men has been an outstanding component of FX’s schedule for the past 14 months, and we have every confidence that Anger Management will soon be as well.”
