New York ? Martha Stewart will revive her daily homemaking show next September, this time with a live audience, celebrity guests and the help of “The Apprentice” producer Mark Burnett, it was announced Wednesday.

Stewart, in prison and not allowed to conduct business, was not involved in the deal with NBC Universal to syndicate the show but is “very pleased,” said Susan Lyne, president of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.

NBC-owned stations in 14 major cities have already agreed to air the daytime show, and deals will be sought in other cities.

“Millions of people feel that Martha got a raw deal,” Burnett said. “America loves comeback stories.”

Stewart and her former stockbroker were convicted in March of lying to investigators about why she sold ImClone Systems Inc. stock in 2001. Stewart, who’s appealing her conviction, is serving a five-month sentence at a minimum-security federal prison for women in Alderson, W.Va. She’ll be released next March.

For five months after that, she will be fitted with an ankle bracelet and confined to her Bedford, N.Y., estate, but allowed to conduct business for 48 hours a week.

Her old show, “Martha Stewart Living,” was put on hiatus last summer after its 11th season. The domestic diva will tread familiar territory on the yet-to-be-titled new show, including cooking, entertaining, decorating and home renovation.

Producer Mark Burnett announces a multiyear distribution agreement that will bring Martha Stewart back to local television stations next fall. Susan Lyne, president of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc., listens to Burnett on Wednesday in New York. Burnett will be the executive producer of the new show.

Burnett said he watched several hours of outtakes from “Martha Stewart Living” and often found them more entertaining and reflective of her personality than the show itself. Interaction with a studio audience and guests will add a new element to what she does, he said.

Judging by celebrities who turned out at Stewart’s trial to offer support — Rosie O’Donnell, Bill Cosby and Brian Dennehy — Burnett said he expected many to be willing to appear as guests.
