NBC’s set Henry Winkler, William Shatner, Terry Bradshaw, George Foreman, and Jeff Dye to star in the alternative comedy series Better Late Than Never based on the original series Grandpa Over Flowers. In addition to starring in the one-hour series set in Asia, Winkler will executive produce the show along with The Bachelor‘s Jason Ehrlich, Tim Crescenti, Craig Zadan, and Neil Meron.
Filming is expected to get underway in August, with shooting taking place in Tokyo, Kyoto, Seoul, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Chang Mai.
The Plot:
Henry Winkler, William Shatner, Terry Bradshaw, George Foreman, and Jeff Dye will embark on the ultimate international excursion with no assistants, no limousines, and no lattes, in search of an intimate, life-changing experience. The five will navigate their way through each city — communicating with the local population, immersing themselves in local traditions, and enjoying exotic food — all the while dealing with the unexpected twists and turns that any trip presents. As they check off items on their own personal “bucket list,” the five will rely on each other for support and encouragement and, in the process, demonstrate that friendship is the ultimate gift.
