Revolving around an anger management therapist who has issues of his own (Sheen), the new TV show’s cast also includes Selma Blair, Shawnee Smith, Daniela Bobadilla, Michael Arden, Noureen DeWulf, and Derek Richardson.

The comedy’s ratings are the best way to tell if Anger Management will be cancelled or renewed for a second season. The first season typically airs Thursday nights on FX and there are 10 episodes.
