“Necessary Roughness” with Scott Cohen Sets Premiere Date

Scott Cohen (Max Medina on Gilmore Girls) stars in the upcoming USA Network series Necessary Roughness, now set to premiere on June 29th at 10pm. Hopefully he’ll have more success with this series than he did with The Return of Jezebel James!

Summary: Dr. Dani Santino (Callie Thorne) seems to have it all figured out: she’s got a beautiful home, a successful husband, two great kids, and a satisfying career as a psychotherapist. But when she catches her husband cheating, Dani’s perfect world begins to unravel. Fortunately, Dani’s counseling skills soon land her a gig as the team therapist for the local football franchise, the New York Hawks, and before she can say “Hail Mary” Dani has managed to help the team’s star wide receiver and become the most sought-after therapist on Long Island, with high-profile clients from athletes to entertainers clamoring for her unique brand of therapy. But though her career is reenergized, it doesn’t take Dani long to realize that balancing the demands of work and family won’t be easy. It’s a good thing she’s tough, because one thing’s for sure: Dani’s about to have a whole lot of new issues to tackle.

Scott Cohen stars as a sports “fixer” for the Hawks, Nico. He has no problem getting his hands dirty and turns up often with emergency assignments for Dani.
