Courteney Cox, who is known for her work in the popular show "Friends," is back on set, starring as the academic adviser and executive producer of a TV-scripted series based off the Mississippi-inspired Netflix docuseries "Last Chance U."

Developed by Spectrum Originals, Cox will play the role of the "Last Chance U" breakout character Brittany Wagner, the former academic adviser at East Mississippi Community College.

The untitled series is a spinoff of the Netflix series and will allow Cox to experience the hardships and issues that Wagner encountered from the first two seasons of "Last Chance U."

"Super excited to announce Courtney Cox will be playing me in a scripted series," Wagner posted on Instagram.

Wagner served as the adviser at EMCC, a junior college known for having stellar athletic programs filled with athletes looking to overcome obstacles and reach their full potential.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan will also serve as an executive producer for the series.
