Stewie and Highway to Heaven are being held until the 2027-2028 season.
Fox announced today that it picked up Murder in a Small Town for a third season, which stars Rossif Sutherland and Kristin Kreuk.
“We love bringing this cozy and delightful mystery to FOX fans, and we’re thrilled Murder in a Small Town has continued to resonate with our audience,” said Bowman. “We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Sepia Films and Future Shack on Season Three, alongside our exceptional cast led by Rossif Sutherland and Kristin Kreuk, and soon to include the incomparable talent of Peter Gallagher as their newest adversary.”
This season, Gallagher is joining the drama as Rod Finlayson, a charismatic, uber-independent, capable yet unreliable figure, whose arrival at the Gibsons’ marina on his beloved boat sets up a sequence of upheavals that Alberg (Sutherland) and Cassandra (Kreuk) will have to grapple with.
What they have to grapple with will be revealed when the police procedural debuts in the Fall.
Michael Landon created two series that defined television, and both shows are being rebooted. We know that Little House on the Prairie is coming to Netflix in July. Today, we found out that Highway to Heaven is being resurrected on Fox for the 2027-2028 season.
The 1984 original heartwarming drama starred Michael Landon as an angel trying to earn his wings by helping people whom the Big Guy tells him to help. He cannot do it alone, so he recruits Victor French, a former cop and mortal, to help him. Both actors died within two years of the series finale from cancer.
The Fox series will introduce an original spin to the unforgettable journey of a “probationary angel,” who is sent to Earth to earn his wings by helping people in need.
Jason Katims, who was the showrunner on Friday Night Lights and Parenthood, will do the same on HtH.
“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.”
And who will be the right lead? We will have to wait to find out. Who do you think should play the lead? I think Misha Collins would be perfect as the Angel and Kal Penn as his human!
I watched the series on Tubi last year and was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable it was. I hope Fox does an equally excellent job with it.
