A contemporary reboot of Highway to Heaven is in the works for the 2027-28 season, with Jason Katims serving as the showrunner. The project is being developed in collaboration with Amblin Television and Michael Landon Productions, under the production of Fox Entertainment Studios, and will be distributed worldwide by Fox Entertainment Global. This new series aims to maintain the original's core themes of compassion, humanity, and second chances while giving the concept a modern twist, focusing on a probationary angel who helps people on Earth, but will be updated to fit contemporary audiences.
