The Sundance Channel and Entertainment One (eOne) are “Reaching for Heaven” together.
The channel and the independent studio have paired up to develop an American version of the Israeli show “Reaching for Heaven,” about what happens to a marriage and family when one parent suddenly becomes religious. The new version will move the action to Las Vegas, in order to explore how religion interacts in the city of sin.

The original “Reaching for Heaven” aired for two seasons in Israel on Keshet, and was produced by Norma Productions.
Mike Seid has been tapped to write the new version.
