NBC Announces Reboot of ‘Royal Pains’ with Mark Feuerstein
Mark Feuerstein is set to reprise his role as Dr. Hank Lawson in a reboot of the popular medical comedy-drama series “Royal Pains,” which is currently in development at NBC.
A Look Back at ‘Royal Pains’
The original “Royal Pains,” which aired on the USA Network from 2009 to 2016, narrated the journey of a disillusioned New York City doctor who relocates to the Hamptons. There, he establishes a concierge medical practice catering to affluent clients.
What to Expect from the Reboot
This reboot will introduce a more evolved Hank Lawson, who “is seeking a new purpose in life” and continues to chase what he considers “his biggest project.” While the series is set several years after the original, it promises to retain the charm that made the first season a success.
Creative Team Behind the Series
The new series will be crafted by Royal Pains co-creator Andrew Lenchewski alongside executive producer Michael Rauch. They will work together with Mark Feuerstein and Rich Frank, another original cast member, as executive producers. The reboot is a collaboration with UCP, a division of Universal Studios Group.
Original Cast Members: Will They Return?
The original series featured a talented ensemble cast, including Paulo Costanzo, Reshma Shetty, Jill Flint, Campbell Scott, and Brooke D’Orsay. However, it remains uncertain whether any of these actors will return for the reboot.
Looking Forward
If the series is approved for production, it will be making its debut on NBC. Fans of the original series are eagerly anticipating how the reboot will unfold.
