Sequel to comedy series Royal Pains in development at NBC

Sequel to comedy series Royal Pains in development at NBC

NBC is looking to pick up another former USA Network series: Royal Pains.
NBC is developing a sequel to Royal Pains, the medical dramedy that ran for eight seasons on USA Network from 2009 to 2016. Mark Feuerstein will reprise his role as Dr. Hank Lawson, a surgeon who, along with his brother (Paulo Costanzo), worked as a concierge doctor for wealthy residents of the Hamptons, and will serve as an executive producer.

Royal Pains co-creator Andrew Lenchewski and original series writer and executive producer Michael Rauch are writing a script and will serve as executive producers alongside Feuerstein and Rich Frank, who was also an executive producer on the USA Network series. The series hails from Universal Studio Group’s UCP.

The description for the potential series reads: “More than a decade ago, Hank Lawson left a hospital to start a concierge practice in the Hamptons. Now, a few years later and looking for a new purpose in life, Hank is about to embark on his biggest project yet.”

Royal Pains is the second former USA Network series to potentially get a second life at NBC. The network is currently airing Suits LA , a spinoff of Suits that it ordered after its parent series became a streaming phenomenon in the second half of 2023. USA Network has largely been out of the scripted series business in the 2020s, though it does have an adaptation of John Grisham's novel The Rainmaker in the pipeline (and shares Chucky with sister network Syfy).

In addition to Feuerstein and Costanzo, Royal Pains also starred Reshma Shetty, Brooke D'Orsay, Jill Flint, Ben Shenkman and Campbell Scott. Feuerstein is the only actor attached to the NBC project so far.
