NBC Cancels COACH Revival

COACH will not have a second life at NBC.

The revival of the comedy series will not be moving forward, a source confirms. The Hollywood Reporter was first to report the news.

The comedy was set to star original series star Craig T. Nelson, with COACH creator Barry Kemp leading up the revival as well.

NBC touted the series earlier this month at TCA, and during its Upfronts presentation, it gave a tease about what the story was supposed to be: “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!”
