Better Late Than Never: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

NBC is taking five celebrated men from across genres on an epic adventure throughout Asia with its new alternative comedy series Better Late Than Never.

Award-winning actor, producer, writer and director Henry Winkler, Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor, director and writer William Shatner, celebrated football legend and NFL analyst Terry Bradshaw, boxing Hall of Famer and gold medal winner turned businessman George Foreman and comedian Jeff Dye embark on the ultimate international excursion with no assistants, no limousines and no lattes, in search of an intimate, life-changing experience.

The one-hour series travels to Tokyo, Kyoto, Seoul, Hong Kong, Phuket and Chiang Mai before heading home. The five navigate their way through each city - communicating with the local population, immersing themselves in local traditions and enjoying exotic food - all the while dealing with the unexpected twists and turns that any trip presents.

As they check off items on their own personal bucket lists, the five rely on each other for support and encouragement and, in the process, demonstrate that friendship is the ultimate gift.
