Slated to debut during the 2027-28 season, the series will introduce longtime fans and a new generation to the franchise's timeless themes of compassion, humanity, and second chances.

Produced and owned by FOX Entertainment Studios, the reimagined Highway to Heaven is executive produced by showrunner Jason Katims, Amblin Television's Darryl Frank, Justin Falvey, and Todd Cohen, alongside Mark Itkin and Michael Landon Productions' Cindy Landon - steward of the original series and widow of creator Michael Landon - and Wayne Lepoff.

The new 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.

Hulu has released the trailer for Deli Boys season two ahead of May 28 launch. Turns out inheriting a criminal empire was the easy part… and more money really does mean more problems. This season on Deli Boys, the Dars are drowning in dirty cash and Philly’s sketchiest crooks are circling. Enter Max Sugar: casino king, money launderer, and Lucky’s new crush who turns laundering into a chaotic situationship. Raj plots revenge on Ahmad, Mir tries to expand DarCo without blowing it up, and Philly D.A. Andrew Chadwater hopes one big bust will make him mayor.

Deli Boys Now Streaming All Episodes on Hulu; Heartland Season 18 on UP Faith & Family

Onyx Collective is excited to share a behind-the-scenes look from its new comedy Deli Boys, now streaming on Hulu. All 10 episodes are now available. After their deli-tycoon father suddenly dies, Raj (Saagar Shaikh) and Mir Dar (Asif Ali), a pair of spoiled Pakistani-American brothers, lose everything and find out that their Baba was more drug lord than corporate magnate. The series also stars Poorna Jagannathan, Brian George, Alfie Fuller and Tan France who guest stars in his first-ever scripted role.

The freaked-out boys are ushered kicking and screaming (literally) into the underworld by their Lucky Auntie (Jagannathan) and her nemesis Ahmad Uncle (George). As Raj and Mir fumble from one ridiculous catastrophe to the next, every move they make is life or death. Because when your trust fund is gone, so is the luxury of screwing up. The half-hour, 10-episode series was created by Abdullah Saeed and developed by Jenni Konner and Nora Silver under Jenni Konner Productions. Michelle Nader, who also serves as showrunner, is an executive producer alongside Saeed, Konner and Silver. Nisha Ganatra is executive producer and director on the pilot, with Vali Chandrasekaran as a non-writing executive producer on the pilot. The series hails from Onyx Collective and is produced by 20th Television.

UP Faith & Family, the leading streaming service to watch uplifting movies and series all commercial free, will be the first place in the U.S. to premiere Heartland season 18, and the only place fans can stream it until early next year. Beginning Thursday, April 17, the service will add new episodes weekly with a four week break after episode five.

Heartland is the longest running one-hour drama in Canadian television history. The success of a family run ranch in the foothills of Alberta isn't guaranteed even in the best of times, and when season 18 begins, Heartland's future has never been more precarious. With new competition from a neighboring ranch, and a drought threatening the health of the herd, the only solution is for the Bartlett-Fleming family to buckle down and adapt like never before. Amy's work with horses continues to be her focus, but when she unexpectedly finds her heart pulled in two different directions, she'll be forced to make a difficult decision. Lou will be more involved than ever in the family cattle business, often putting her at odds with Jack and Tim. But when it matters most, the entire family will come together and prove that no adversity is too great when they're united. It will take courage, resolve, and strength of character to overcome the challenges ahead. In other words, it'll take true grit.

The weekend was jampacked with celebrity panels sharing personal stories and moderated by Executive Editor, TV & Events at People – Breanne Heldman. The weekend also included an Ugly Sweater Contest, Sleight that Song and Celebrity Reindeer Game, but the highlight of course was that fans got to enjoy their moment to get an autograph and photo with their favorite Christmas stars!

Additionally, Hallmark's extremely popular Three Wiser Men and a Boy was screened on Friday night with stars Paul Campbell, Tyler Hynes, Andrew Walker and Kimberley Sustad. On Saturday, Nikki DeLoach hosted the "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Con” Concert featuring Drew Seeley, Lindsey Alley and Tony Lucca. But the highlight for us was the Red Carpet event on Saturday morning where we asked the stars about their new Christmas projects, their Christmas traditions, what they are doing for Christmas, what Christmas Con experiences have been like, and of course their favorite sitcom Christmas episode.

Check out our YouTube page for all of the stars that graced the red carpet including The Wonder Years' Danica McKellar, James Denton, Jessica Lowndes, Meghan Ory, Cameron Mathison, Michael Rady and host Jenna Leigh Green!
