Jason Katims Resurrecting Highway to Heaven for FOX

FOX Entertainment Global will represent the international distribution rights to a new Highway to Heaven from Jason Katims, Amblin Television, and Michael Landon Productions for FOX.

The series is set to land on the network in its 2027-28 season, produced and owned by FOX Entertainment Studios. The original premiered in 1984.

“With the incredible pairing of Jason Katims, Cindy Landon, and the Amblin team, we’re building on Highway to Heaven’s timeless legacy of transformation and optimism in a way that feels deeply relevant and relatable to our audience,” said Michael Thorn, president of FOX Television Network.

Highway to Heaven has always been about connection, compassion, and the idea that small acts can have big ripple effects and make a lasting difference,” said Cindy Landon. “I’m proud to help carry Michael’s legacy forward with partners like FOX and Amblin, who understand the heart of this series and are bringing it to a new generation at just the right moment.”

“I’m excited by the challenge of putting a contemporary lens on this classic tale,” said Katims. “The idea of telling a very grounded, human story about an angel feels immediately emotional to me— and fun. I love going outside my comfort zone to tell a tale about someone trying to do better as an angel than he did as a man.”
