Craig T. Nelson has signed on to return as Coach Hayden Fox in the limited return of classic TV series Coach.

NBC has decided to bring the series back for 13 episodes and not only did they get the show’s original star to returm…Coach‘s creator Barry Kemp is also on board to write the new series.

The new chapter is set in the present day, picking up 18 years after the original ABC series’ ending, and is a sequel that will follow Coach as he adjusts to becoming an assistant coach to his grown son, who is the new head coach at an Ivy league school in Pennsylvania that is just starting a new team.
