Admit it. For almost two decades, you haven’t been able to make it through the day… because new episodes of Coach were not being produced.
Well, guess what? You’re in luck. Coach is coming back. Below, you can see how NBC describes this revival, which is expected to come at midseason. I am humming the theme song already… while I wait patiently for someone to also bring back Wings.
Craig T. Nelson (“Parenthood”) reprises the iconic role that earned him an Emmy in this follow-up to the beloved series that ran for nine seasons. With original creator Barry Kemp at the helm, Hayden Fox’s story picks up 18 years later when the retired coach gets back in the game to assist his son, who was just hired as head coach at an Ivy League university in Pennsylvania… where they know nothing about sports. Between dealing with the eggheads on campus and his hostile daughter-in-law at home, Coach will soon learn that he’s not in Minnesota anymore. Talk about a Hail Mary!
Barry Kemp serves as writer and executive producer. Craig T. Nelson also executive produces. “Coach” is produced by Universal Television.
