SUNY Cortland alumnus Kevin James is returning to television.
Deadline reports CBS has picked up the 51-year-old actor's new show, "Kevin Can Wait," to series for the 2016-17 TV season. James will star on the multi-camera sitcom as a newly retired police officer facing tougher challenges at home with his wife and three kids.
The cast includes Erinn Hayes, Taylor Spreitler, Mary-Charles Jones, James Digiacomo, Ryan Cartwright, Leonard Earl Howze, Lenny Venito and Gary Valentine.
James previously rose to fame on the network's "The King of Queens," which aired from 1998 to 2007. He was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series in 2006.
The comedian and actor attended the State University of New York at Cortland in the mid '80s, playing football and majoring in sports management, but did not graduate. In addition to TV, he's also starred in movies like "Hitch," "Grown-Ups," and "Paul Blart: Mall Cop," voiced animated characters in "Barnyard" and "Hotel Transylvania," and had a Comedy Central special "Sweat the Small Stuff."
James' upcoming films include the action-comedy "The True Memoirs of an International Assassin" and "44," based on the true story of a 44-year-old man who returned to school to achieve his dream of playing college football at Lambuth University.
