Ty Burrell to Star in NBC's Single-Camera Coach Reboot
Ty Burrell will play a legendary pro coach returning to his Minnesota alma mater, and he will also executive produce the NBC project.
NBC is developing a single-camera reboot of the sitcom Coach, with Ty Burrell set to star and executive produce, according to Deadline.
Burrell will play a legendary professional coach who returns to his Minnesota alma mater to revive its basketball program. Daniel Libman and Matthew Libman will executive produce alongside him, and John Davis and John Fox will executive produce for Davis Entertainment. Universal Television is the studio.
The new take differs in format from the original: Coach was a multi-camera series, while the reboot is being developed as a single-camera show.
Coach originally ran for 9 seasons and 200 episodes; in its final two seasons, the lead character moved to Orlando, Florida, to coach an NFL expansion team.
Burrell is best known for Modern Family, which ended in 2020 after 11 seasons and 250 episodes. The Libmans created the Peacock basketball sitcom Mr. Throwback, which was cancelled after one season in 2024.
