Bill Cosby is looking to restart his career after his conviction was overturned and he was released from prison.

Pennsylvania's highest court found an agreement with a previous prosecutor that prevented the disgraced entertainer from being charged in the case.

Cosby had served more than two years of his three-to-10 year sentence for being convicted of drugging and molesting ex-basketball player Andrea Constand at his suburban estate in 2008.

Despite being 83, it appears Cosby isn't going to live in the shadows now that he's a free man.

The former TV star has reportedly teamed up with Michelle Major to do a five-part documentary series on his case, according to the New York Times. Cosby said the doco is nearly done and all he has to do is his interview, which he's hoping to do in the next few weeks.

Major attended Cosby's trial and was the executive producer of Vice Media's Black Lives Matters: A Global Reckoning.

In addition to the documentary, he said he will 'probably' participate in a book about the trial, however it's not yet clear whether he will write it himself or merely offer insight and quotes to a biographer.

Cosby said he's on a mission to get 'the truth out and get people to understand that this is serious it must be revealed what happened', per the New York Post.

"We can't let up. We've got to mobilise. We've got to get the NAACP and it's Crisis Magazine involved and black journalists, black men writers, black women writers, everyone must put their pen to paper and get the truth out," he said.

He wants to team up with people, organisations and networks that deal with people who have been wrongly accused, tried and convicted.

But he's also hoping to return to doing stand-up comedy shows in front of live audiences.

A 'well-known celebrity crisis communications specialist' who wished to remain anonymous told The NYP they don't believe Cosby's renewed career will land with people who have followed his case.

"For someone whose reputation is so damaged, this is potentially the best strategy among limited options," the specialist said.

"If he follows through by highlighting and potentially financing successful appeals of others claiming egregious prosecutorial misconduct, this approach could potentially salvage something positive for his legacy.

"But, with so many accusations and such damning testimony against him, it will not rehabilitate his image."
