Michael J Fox is set to comeback to TV with a new show where he shows audiences what Parkinson's disease sufferers endure on a daily basis.

Fox is set to star in a new show on NBC called 'The Michael J. Fox Show' that portrays a TV anchor and dad who is in an ongoing battle with Parkinson's disease, which Fox suffers from in real life, Contactmusic reported.

The 52-year-old left the highly successful sitcom 'Spin City' nearly 13 years ago because of his declining health problems as he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

Now, he is returning to television screens celebrating his symptoms by using the illness as a motif for his brand new show that depicts how a Parkinson's sufferer copes with everyday life.
