5USA is to air the short-lived Ironside remake starring Blair Underwood.

Underwood took on the role of paraplegic detective Robert Ironside in the cop drama revamp, which aired four episodes on NBC before it was dropped.

5USA will air the show from late March. Nine episodes of the new Ironside were produced in total, with Channel 5's sister channel expected to air the five instalments that never aired on US television.

Ironside - which also starred Brent Sexton, Pablo Schreiber and Spencer Grammer - was based on the '60s show of the same name, which starred Raymond Burr as the title character.
