Resumption of "Northern" exposure under development at CBS – Variety

A relaunch of "Northern Exposure" is currently under development at CBS, Variety has learned.

The star of the original series, Rob Morrow, will resume his role as Dr. Joel Fleischman, who returns to Cicely, Alabama, for the funeral of an old friend. Once there, he finds a new set of unusual characters and finds old ones.

Morrow will also be executive producer in addition to playing. His fellow star of the original series, John Corbett, is associated with the producer position, although he is not ready to make an appearance in the recovery right now.

Josh Brand will write and produce products with Morrow, John Falsey and Ben Silverman. Universal Television will produce. Brand and Falsey co-created the original series. The duo also co-created the medical drama "St. Elsewhere ", as well as shows like" A year in the life "," Going to extremes "and" I'm going to fly ".

"Northern Exposure" aired for six seasons and more than 100 episodes on CBS between 1990 and 1995. In addition to Morrow and Corbett, the series stars Barry Corbin, Janine Turner, John Cullum, Darren E. Burrows, Cynthia Geary, Elaine Miles and Peg Phillips. He won 39 Emmy nominations during his career, eventually winning seven. This included a win for the best drama series and the best writing for a drama series in 1992.

The mark is repped by UTA. Morrow is taken over by Gersh and Magnolia Entertainment. Corbett is replaced by Gersh and Lovett Management.

If the project progressed, it would be the last of a series of TV television raises in recent years. CBS is currently broadcasting the cover of "Murphy Brown," while ABC has returned to deceive "Roseanne" last season, to cancel it and then return to "The Conners." ABC is also developing a continuation of "NYPD Blue".
