Chuck Lorre is back with a brand new comedy series on CBS and we have all the details on how you can watch United States of Al on TV or online.

United States of Al, written by David Goetsch and Maria Ferrari, tells the story of Marine combat veteran Riley (Parker Young) who is trying to readjust to civilian life in Ohio after serving in Afghanistan. However, he is soon joined by the Afghan interpreter Awalmir (Adhir Kalyan) who served his unit overseas and wants to start a brand new life in America.

During their time at war, Riley and Al quickly became friends which is why Riley offered to take Al in when he moved to America. In fact, their relationship is so close, that Al is even the godfather to Riley's daughter Hazel. In addition to Young and Kalyan, Breaking Bad's Dean Norris is also part of the cast and he plays Riley and his sister Lizzie's father Art.

By the time Al arrives in the U.S., Riley is already separated from his wife Vanessa (Kelli Goss) who takes care of Hazel. While the two are preparing to get divorced, Al will likely try to get the couple back together for the sake of his goddaughter.

Whether you're a fan of Chuck Lorre's previous work on Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory, and Young Sheldon, or have served overseas yourself, we'll show you how to watch the United States of Al from anywhere in the world.

United States of Al: When and where?
