AceShowbiz - Joshua Jackson is making his triumphant return to primetime television in the upcoming ABC drama series "Dr. Odyssey", created by acclaimed producer Ryan Murphy.
The series is described as a medical procedural set on a cruise ship, with Jackson playing the charming titular character who uses his charisma to achieve his goals. Details of the plot and other cast members have yet to be revealed.
Jackson, known for his roles in "Dawson's Creek", "Fringe," and "Dr. Death," will also serve as an executive producer on "Dr. Odyssey". Murphy, who has created hit shows such as "American Horror Story" and "9-1-1", will co-write the series with Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken. Paris Barclay, who has directed episodes of "American Horror Story" and "The Watcher", will be directing the pilot.
This series marks Jackson's first return to network television in over a decade since his role in "Fringe" ended in 2013. He has since appeared in streaming shows like "Fatal Attraction" and "Dr. Death," as well as Showtime's "The Affair".
Jackson's personal life has also made headlines, as he has recently been romantically linked to Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o. Jackson split from his ex-wife Jodie Turner-Smith last fall after three years of marriage. They share a four-year-old daughter together.
The premiere date for "Dr. Odyssey" has yet to be announced, but it is expected to debut during the 2024-2025 broadcast season.
