Season Premiere of ‘Two and a Half Men’ Will Show Charlie Sheen’s Funeral

With taping for the first episode of the brand new season of the rebooted “Two and a Half Men” on CBS scheduled to take place this Friday for a September air date, more details about the plot are emerging: Charlie Sheen’s character, Charlie, will be dead and buried on the season premiere.

As fans of the ever-popular show must know, one possible direction for the new season is to have Charlie Harper, played until not long by Charlie Sheen, killed off.

Another would be to have him move to another country. Either way, since Sheen has been fired, Harper must go – in order for Ashton Kutcher to replace him with another character.

Deadline has confirmation that Harper is dead. Moreover, the first episode will feature his funeral, which will also offer writers the perfect occasion to introduce Kutcher’s character.

At the same time, various other familiar faces will be shown, in what will probably be the final tribute to Charlie Harper.

“I have been able to confirm that Charlie Sheen’s character Charlie Harper is indeed dead and the season premiere will feature his funeral. Charlie’s girlfriends will come back for the occasion, and his house indeed will be put on the market,” Deadline writes.

“The episode will feature potential buyers coming to see the house (as I reported earlier, the list is expected to include real-life celebrities and stars from Men co-creator Chuck Lorre’s other series), with Ashton Kutcher among them,” the e-zine further informs.

Nevertheless, contrary to what is being said in the press, Kutcher will not become the owner of Harper’s beach house – or, at least not in the first episode.

The season premiere will be divided in two episodes, Deadline says. Sadly, this is where the details stop.

“As part of CBS and Men producer Warner Bros. TV’s efforts to keep details of the premiere under wraps, I hear the cast has been asked to sign non-disclosure agreements, something potential audience members for the Friday taping will be required to do too,” the aforementioned publication concludes.
