"CBS has ordered the James Van Der Beek series Friends with Better Lives. Van Der Beek will star as a doctor in the multi-camera comedy.  CBS&amp;#039;s decision to pick up the series comes late, as the network gave the greenlight to several new comedy pilots last week, Entertainment Weekly reports. Friends with Better Lives follows a group of 30-somethings, with Van Der Beek portraying Will Stokes, who is in the middle of a divorce after discovering his wife&amp;#039;s infidelity. Kevin Connolly, Brooklyn Decker, Rick Donald, Zoe Lister Jones and Majandra Delfino will also star. Van Der Beek was previously a part of ABC&amp;#039;s Don&amp;#039;t Trust the B---- in Apartment 23. However, due to low ratings, the network cancelled the comedy back in January.
