But you are right about the probable reasons behind it.

Aldamisa International expands into TV business
11 October, 2012 | By Jeremy Kay
EXCLUSIVE: The feature film financing, international sales and production company made the announcement on Thursday (11) and will kick off with Emmett/Furla’s Dolph Lundgren vehicle Rescue 3.
Aldamisa will co-sell the series with Sierra/Engine and is currently developing other series internally and co-producing with established TV producers.
Aldamisa International’s president of international sales and acquisitions Nadine de Barros (pictured) will take charge of the new business and has brought on consultant Tannaz Anisi.
De Barros previously handled sales on TV series such as Leverage, True Justice and SyFy’s Triangle.
“I’m thrilled to be getting back into the TV business,” she said. “This is a rapidly growing market and we are committed to bringing two to three high-concept, action-driven series per year, with marquee names that play well both domestically and internationally.”
Rescue 3 is about an elite southern Californian multi-agency task force and each episode will centre on action-packed rescue missions involving the Los Angeles Lifeguard, firefighter and Coast Guard agencies.
Lundgren will play Captain John Mathews, a reluctant hero and career firefighter and lifeguard who leads the unit.
Gregory J Bonann serves as executive producer on Rescue 3, which he created with Tai Collins. Jim and John Thomas will write alongside Collins. Tribune Broadcasting will carry the series on its primetime US stations in autumn 2013.

It'd be great for Dolph to get the sort of second coming that someone like Kiefer Sutherland got from TV. If it also gives him a chance to stretch as an actor that's good.
We'll see. But I think there's great potential for Dolph to lead a TV show. He could hit it bigger than he will in film at the moment. Plus he can be the headliner.

I hear you. I don't think it's that good to have this comeback, because he has too many options and offers (and not always good), and he seems kinda confused, he'll say something one day, and will do another the next. As a man he's probably searching for himself again (having divorced and all, settling in LA, new girlfriend) but it doesn't help him with making decisions...Regarding Dolph's career decisions these past couple years, I'm left scratching my head.
Co-created by Gregory J. Bonann (Creator of Baywatch) who also serves as Executive Producer, the series follows Southern California’s elite multi-agency task force, Rescue 3, which consists of the cream-of-the-crop from Los Angeles Lifeguard, Firefighter and Coast Guard agencies. They are the heroes who answer the most challenging calls. Specialists who collaborate, coordinate, and initiate daring rescues in the most dangerous venues (air, fire, water) to save human life.
Each episode will center on big-action rescues involving all three services lead by a reluctant leader, Lifeguard John Mathews, who has stepped in for his mentor and friend. The agency is the brainchild of Hal Dunnigan (Mathew’s mentor) who dies heroically in the first episode saving a life. The inter-agency cooperative effort will not be without its challenges, but will provide for extremely dramatic personal conflict and still yield an effective and efficient public service. There is enormous competition between them as they uphold the pride of their individual services. BUT, when emergency life and death circumstances arise, they check their egos at the door and do whatever must be done to save human life, aware of the harsh reality that one of them, like Dunnigan, may not return.
With beauty, danger, deception, and redemption, Rescue 3 brings blue skies and action-adventure back to broadcast television.
