Get ready to head back to Cicely, Alaska! Northern Exposure is officially making its long-awaited return in 2025, exclusively on Prime Video. The beloved 90s dramedy is being revived with original cast members and fresh new faces, bringing the same mix of quirky humor, heartfelt moments, and small-town magic that made the show a cult classic.
The revival will see Rob Morrow reprising his role as Dr. Joel Fleischman, now returning to Cicely under mysterious circumstances. Other returning cast members include:
- Janine Turner as Maggie O’Connell, now an influential town leader.
- John Corbett as Chris Stevens, still hosting his philosophical radio show.
- Darren E. Burrows as Ed Chigliak, now an established filmmaker.
- Elaine Miles as Marilyn Whirlwind, offering her signature wisdom and humor.
New cast members will include a young doctor assigned to Cicely, played by a rising Hollywood star, and new town residents who bring a fresh perspective to the show’s offbeat storytelling.
Set three decades after the original, the new series follows Dr. Fleischman’s unexpected return to Cicely, where he encounters old friends, new challenges, and the same eccentric charm that once frustrated and fascinated him. The show will explore themes of community, nostalgia, and personal growth, blending humor with heartfelt storytelling.
Northern Exposure Returns is slated to premiere in Fall 2025, with a 10-episode first season exclusively on Prime Video. Filming is set to begin in early 2025, with the creators promising a modern yet faithful revival that will captivate both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
