A signature 1990s sitcom is coming back for a new chapter. NBC has given a straight-to-series13-episode order to "Coach," with original star Craig T. Nelson on board to reprise his role and creator Barry Kemp set to write.

A sequel to the original series, the new "Coach" will be set in present day, picking up18 years after the ABC sitcom went off the air after nine seasons. Coach Hayden Fox (Nelson) — now retired from coaching—is called back to become assistant coach to his own grown son, who is the new head coach at an Ivy league school in Pennsylvania that is just starting up a new team. Kemp and Nelson are executive producing the comedy, which, like the original, will be multi-camera. No other talent is attached.

Fox has ordered 6 new episodes of The X-Files, last broadcast in 2002, for next season. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will return, along with series creator Chris Carter.
