Based on John Grogan's best-seller of the same name, the series will continue on from the 2008 film, reported Contactmusic.
NBC has apparently placed a pilot order for a new series based on the 2008 film. The series will follow John and Jenny Grogan (played by Owen Wilson and Aniston) and their two sons (now 14 and 11), who have just moved back to Florida so that John can go back to writing his newspaper column.
It will see the family becoming dog owners once again, when they are forced to adopt a stray puppy who ends up on their doorstep. The family name the dog Marley after their previous mischievous pup, who shares many traits with this new addition.
The pilot will be written and executive produced by Jenny Bicks, best known for her work on 'Sex and the City' and for writing the screenplay to 'What A Girl Wants', starring Amanda Bynes.
There is no word yet on who will be taking over from Wilson and Aniston in the roles of John and Jenny Grogan.
