Former Cubs Star Andre Dawson's Funeral Business Center of New CBS TV Drama

CBS developing TV drama about Dawson’s funeral business originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago

Former Cub Andre Dawson has made a post-baseball living as the owner/operator of a funeral home with his wife, Vanessa, and CBS has decided to turn his story into a TV drama series.

According to Deadline, CBS is developing “Closure,” a one-hour TV drama series based loosely on Dawson’s life in the funeral business. Here’s a description of the show’s storyline. 

Dawson took over Paradise Memorial Funeral Home in Richmond Heights, Fla. in 2008, when he was a special assistant to the Marlins. The Hall of Famer, who made five straight All-Star teams with the Cubs from 1987-91, will serve as a consultant to the series.
