Michael J. Fox is to make a sitcom about coping with Parkinson's Disease.

The new series, yet to be titled, is set to debut on Amercica’s NBC network next year – 11 years after he left Spin City.

‘I'm extremely pleased to be back at NBC with a great creative team and a great show,’ said Fox.

Announcing the 22 episodes, network chairman Robert Greenblatt said:’From the moment we met with Michael to hear his unique point of view about this new show, we were completely captivated and on board.

‘He is utterly relatable, optimistic, and in a class by himself, and I have no doubt that the character he will create . . . will be both recognizable and hilarious.’

The series will revolve around a father of three trying to manage his family, his career, and his illness.
