The 1980s classic featuring an angel and a human companion doing good deeds is getting a reboot.
Highway to Heaven premiered on NBC in 1984 and featured former Little House on the Prairie co-stars Michael Landon and Victor French. Landon portrayed Jonathan Smith, an angel sent to Earth on probation to do good deeds, at least enough to earn him his wings and entry into heaven. French played Mark Gordon, the human and live companion who helped Jonathan complete the assignments sent down from God. The assignments usually consisted of helping troubled souls.
The new project is being headed by A&E Studios and Halfire-Core Entertainment, and film star Mark Wahlberg (Yes, Marky Mark) is attached as an executive producer. Former Hell on Wheels showrunner John Wirth is writing the script.
