Michael J. Fox is planning a return to series TV, more than a decade after he left to concentrate on fighting Parkinson’s disease.

The actor, who first gained fame in the 1980s sitcom Family Ties and later headlined Spin City, will star in a comedy that’s in development at Sony Pictures Television for 2013, according to people with knowledge of the project.

In May, Fox told ABC News that a new drug regimen has helped him control the tics that are a result of the disease and allowed him to take on more acting roles.

Good for him. Let's hope he can shake off this disease once and for all.
