NBC says 'Crossing Jordan' will return

As expected, NBC has announced that long-absent drama "Crossing Jordan" will return to the network's schedule in March. The Jill Hennessy series will move into the Sunday 10 p.m. slot unsuccessfully occupied by the Rob Lowe legal disappointment "The Lyon's Den."
"Crossing Jordan" took the fall off to accommodate Hennessy's pregnancy. Initially the show was set for a January return, but the star requested more time to spend with her newborn, pushing its third-season launch two months later. The show's first six episodes were shot last spring.
Hennessy returns as Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh, a Boston medical examiner with a checkered past. Miguel Ferrer's mentoring Dr. Garret Macy and Ivan Sergei's Dr. Peter Winslow will also be back, as will Jerry O'Connell as Detective Woody Hoyt.
New to the cast this season is two-time Daytime Emmy winner Jennifer Finnigan ("The Bold and the Beautiful"), who will play a pathology resident in the coroner's office.
