NBC has pulled the plug on its revival of “Coach.”
The network had given the series, a continuation of the ’90s ABC sitcom starring Craig T. Nelson, a 13-episode series order.
The new “Coach” was given the greenlight in March. The series was to follow Nelson’s character from the original series, Hayden Fox, as he emerged from retirement to join his son (Andrew Ridings from “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”) on the football coaching staff of an Ivy League team.
Original cast member Bill Fagerbakke was signed to revive his role as dim-witted assistant coach Dauber Dybinski. Original series creator Barry Kemp was producing for Universal Television.
