Dr. Hank Lawson is scrubbing up again, as a “Royal Pains” reboot starring Mark Feuerstein is in development at NBC, Variety has confirmed.
The original series, which ran on the USA Network from 2009 to 2016, followed a former New York ER doctor who moves to the Hamptons to open a concierge practice targeting the ultra-rich. In the reboot, which takes place several years later, Hank is “searching for a new purpose in life” and is “about to embark on his biggest project yet.”
“Royal Pains” co-creator Andrew Lenchewski and executive producer Michael Rauch will write the new series, and they will serve as EPs alongside Feuerstein and original series alum Rich Frank. The reboot hails from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, and will air on NBC, should it get picked up to series.
“Royal Pains” starred Paulo Costanzo, Reshma Shetty, Jill Flint, Campbell Scott and Brooke D’Orsay, among others. It’s unclear whether any of the original cast members will return for the reboot.
