Roma Downey is bringing a new family to television. The Touched by an Angel actress has partnered with LightWorkers Media to develop Karen Kingsbury’s Baxter Family novels for TV, Deadline reports.
LightWorkers Media is the faith and family division of MGM.
Kingsbury’s book series spans 22 novels and tells the saga of John and Elizabeth Baxter and their six children over the course of many years.
From Kingsbury, in a press statement:
Working with Roma Downey to see the Baxter Family become a TV series is the most exciting thing to happen in my entire career. In her capable and talented hands, we all believe the Baxter Family will become a longstanding beloved series that will run for many years to come. My 25 million readers have been begging to see the Baxter Family on TV, and now their dreams will come true.”
What do you think? Have you read Kingsbury’s book series? Would you watch the TV series?
I keep looking for The Baxter’s. When is it gonna be available?
I love these books and would watch a show. When is this coming out?
I have read all of the books in the series. I live them and would love to have them made into a tv series
I will definitely watch the Baxter Family series! I have been anxiously awaiting it to begin!
Would LOVE to watch this! I have read all of the Baxter books and have had the pleasure to meet Mrs. Kingsbury. My younger daughter and one of her sons were friends at Liberty. GREAT school!
Yes I’d love to see the Baxter family come to TV
Are they still developing this??
I have read the entire series of the Baxter Family as well as most all of the other novels written by Karen Kingsbury. If you haven’t read her books, you don’t know what you have missed. I am so excited about the upcoming series of The Baxter Family. I wish it was starting this week. And with Roma Downey as part of the process, I am confident that the series will be as family-oriented as the book series.
