NBC recently announced they’ll be bringing Coach back to TV in the form of a sequel to the original series—and Parenthood star Craig T. Nelson will be coming along for the ride.
Nelson played the title character in the original series, which ran on ABC from 1989 to 1997. In the new series, his character, now retired, will make a comeback to the game as his son’s assistant coach at an Ivy League school.
NBC has ordered 13 episodes, but there’s no word yet on when they will premiere.
