Fox orders a new reboot of the classic NBC drama series “Highway to Heaven,” according to multiple outlets. The original show aired from 1984 to 1989 and follows an angel who travels across America. The new series is set for the 2027–28 broadcast season. Jason Katims, known for creating and leading series such as “Friday Night Lights” and “Parenthood,” is named as showrunner for the reboot. The project is described as a new take on Michael Landon’s “Highway to Heaven,” building on the premise of an earthbound angel moving through different places and stories. The announcements also tie the production to Amblin Television and Michael Landon-related productions, with Fox positioned to bring back another classic 1980s property as it prepares for the launch of a separate “Baywatch” reboot. Sources characterize the reboot as a drama-fantasy series and place Katims in a leading creative role for the new iteration.
