The L.A. Law revival is moving forward at ABC.
The highly-anticipated revival has locked in another original cast member in Corbin Bernsen, who is set to reprise his Arnie Becker role in the pilot.
Deadline first reported the news.
Bernsen joins the previously announced Blair Underwood, who is set to return as Jonathan Rollins.
The outlet notes that Bernsen and Underwood are the only original cast members locked in as series regulars, with more original stars expected to guest-star should the series nab a pickup.
The revival will once again take place at the law firm of McKenzie Brackman, which has reinvented itself as “a litigation firm specializing in only the most high profile, boundary pushing and incendiary cases,” according to the official synopsis.

Corbin Bernsen is set as a lead opposite Blair Underwood in L.A. Law, a new incarnation of the iconic Steven Bochco legal drama that was officially picked up to pilot by ABC earlier this month. Underwood and Bernsen, reprising their roles as Jonathan Rollins and Arnie Becker, respectively, are believed to be the only original cast members who are series regulars in the sequel pilot. (More are expected to make guest-starring appearances on the potential series.)
In the pilot, written by Marc Guggenheim and Ubah Mohamed and to be directed by Anthony Hemingway, the venerable law firm of McKenzie Brackman — now named Becker Rollins — reinvents itself as a litigation firm specializing in only the most high-profile, boundary-pushing and incendiary cases. The re-envisioning of the Emmy-winning series will be featuring familiar characters working alongside new ones on the most hot-button issues of the day.

ABC is retaining the legal services of L.A. Law, giving a pilot order to a potential revival starring original series alum Blair Underwood, TVLine has learned.
The updated take is once again set at the venerable law firm of McKenzie Brackman, which has reinvented itself as “a litigation firm specializing in only the most high profile, boundary pushing and incendiary cases,” per the official synopsis. Underwood reprises his role as attorney Jonathan Rollins, “who has gone from idealistic to more conservative as he clashes with millennial JJ Freeman to decide the best path forward for the firm to effect political and legal change.

When I was a 21-year-old kid, I was cast in the part of Jonathan Rollins on <em>L.A. Law</em>. The casting breakdown said they wanted an actor, 24-26 years old, no younger, no older! I knew I was too young for the role.
Once I was cast, I figuratively held my breath until the first few episodes aired, thinking I could possibly be fired somewhere along the way, if the producers actually saw me on film and thought I looked too young. Even still, on the first day of shooting, Steven Bochco put his arm around me and said, “How’...

If you’re too young to have crushed on Blair Underwood during his days as hotshot lawyer Jonathan Rollins on L.A. Law from 1987-1994 (we are too, but we loved the reruns!), you could have lusted after him on Sex and the City (as Miranda’s sexy neighbor) or In Treatment. Er, sorry. Not to downplay his considerable acting talent! Don’t tell him we objectified him when you join us on the Very VH1 Spreecast this Wednesday at 4:15 pm Et (1:15 Pt). Instead, ask him all about Ironside, his new series premiering on NBC Wednesday night.

"Ironside" was once an iconic TV detective, a wheelchair bound warrior played by Raymond Burr. Now, it looks like Blair Underwood is ready to fill that rolling seat: NBC has ordered a new "Ironside" pilot starring Underwood in the title role.
The network picked up the pilot on Tuesday (Feb. 5), and Underwood's participation was confirmed on that same day. "Ironside" will be, according to NBC:
"A tough, sexy but acerbic police detective relegated to a wheelchair after a shooting is hardly limited by his disability as he pushes and prods his hand-picked team to solve the most difficult cases in the city."
Michael Caleo, David Semel, Teri Weinberg, John Davis and Jon Fox will executive-produce the pilot.
Whatever changes the new show might make to the classic, at least Ironside himself will remain pretty much the same. No other casting for the pilot has been announced.
