Overview
- Fox announced Wednesday it ordered a contemporary reimagining of Highway to Heaven to air in the 2027–28 season.
- Jason Katims will serve as showrunner and executive producer, drawing on his work on Friday Night Lights and Parenthood.
- Fox Entertainment Studios will produce and own the series with Amblin Television and Michael Landon Productions, and Fox Entertainment Global will handle worldwide distribution, with Cindy Landon joining as an executive producer.
