“Highway to Heaven” is getting a second life.

The drama fantasy series, which ran from 1984 to 1989 on NBC, is being rebooted by Fox for the 2027-2028 broadcast season. Emmy winning writer Jason Katims (“Friday Night Lights,” “Parenthood”) will showrun the new iteration of the show about an earthbound angel who travels across America helping people in need.

Per Fox, “the series will introduce longtime fans and a new generation to the franchise’s timeless themes of compassion, humanity, and second chances.” Katims executive produces alongside Amblin Television’s Darryl Frank, Justin Falvey and Todd Cohen, alongside Mark Itkin and Michael Landon Productions’ Wayne Lepoff and Cindy Landon (widow of original series creator Michael Landon).
