Christian romance writer Karen Kingsbury signed the
deal of a lifetime with THE BIBLE
star and producer Roma Downey.
Kingsbury's popular 'The Baxters' series makes a perfect addition to the growing
faith and family-based market hungry for stories that are both mainstream and
tailored to their interests.
From the press release:
“The Baxter Family” series – starting with the book Redemption - tells the story
of how John and Elizabeth Baxter, and their six adult children, come together
over love, loss, laughter, and life in an epic, unforgettable drama that proves
the strength of faith and family.
"Working with Roma Downey to see the Baxter Family become a TV series is the
most exciting thing to happen in my entire career," said Karen Kingsbury. "I
couldn't be more thrilled. Roma's heart is engaged in this project because she
is a reader. 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."
"At LightWorkers, we are always looking for uplifting projects and because I am
such a fan of the series, it makes so much sense to bring our two brands
together," said Roma Downey, President of LightWorkers Media. “In partnership
with Karen, we want to bring this beloved family drama to the small screen so
families can enjoy it together."
