Commander-in-chief set for comeback

The Geena Davis drama Commander-in-chief is coming back to screens sooner than expected.

The White House show was pulled off the air by US network ABC in January after scoring low ratings.

The drama had received critical acclaim and Davis received a Golden Globe for her performance on the show as America's first female president.

Network executives didn't originally specify a return air date, but have now scheduled the show to return on April 13 in a new Thursday 10pm timeslot.

The show will follow the latest hit reality series American Inventor.
