CBS to Develop a NORTHERN EXPOSURE Revival

CBS is developing a revival of "Northern Exposure," according to Variety.

Original series star Rob Morrow will reprise 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 quirky characters and reunites with old ones.

Fellow original series star John Corbett is attached as a producer, though he is not set to appear in the revival at this time. Morrow will also executive produce in addition to starring.

Josh Brand will write and executive produce, with Morrow, John Falsey, and Ben Silverman executive producing. Universal Television will produce. Brand and Falsey co-created the original series.

"Northern Exposure" ran for six seasons on CBS between 1990 and 1995. The series starred Morrow, Corbett, BARRY Corbin, Janine Turner, John Cullum, Darren E. Burrows, Cynthia Geary, Elaine Miles, and Peg Phillips.
