Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program alum Angelica Chéri (Cycle 24) will co-write a reboot of the popular television series HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN for Lifetime.
The show, greenlighted by Lifetime, will be presented as a movie series and will be a modern take on the Michael Landon TV series and will star Grammy-winner Jill Scott in a gender-switching lead role, and Barry Watson.
Scott stars as new angel Angela who comes down to Earth to help people in crisis. Landon played the male version of the character in the original series, the angel Jonathan, who was sent to Earth to help people in need. Watson portrays Junior High School principal Bruce to whom Angela reveals her true identity.
