In the beginning, there was Pastor Todd Burpo’s book, Heaven Is for Real, covering his son Colton’s account of a near-death experience. Next, there was the 2014 hit film of the same name, starring Greg Kinnear. Now Sony and NBC are adapting the sequel, Heaven Changes Everything, as a TV series.

Randy Brown is set to write and executive produce the new drama which covers the Burpo family’s journey, after the first book was published. Scroll down for details.

From Deadline:

…the hourlong drama revolves around a small-town pastor who must find the courage and faith to lead his parishioners after the news of his son’s visit to Heaven due to a near-death experience begins to capture worldwide attention.
