Premiering tonight on CBS, is “God Friended Me.” The show captures the feel of classic shows “Touched By An Angel” and “Highway To Heaven” and looks at faith in a most unusual way.
Synopsis:
Miles Finer (Brandon Michael Hall) is an outspoken atheist whose life is turned upside down when he receives a friend request on social media from God and unwittingly becomes an agent of change in the lives and destinies of others around him. After repeated pokes by God, Miles’ curiosity takes over, and he accepts the ultimate friend request and follows the signs to Cara Bloom (Violette Beane), an online journalist. Brought together by the mysterious account, the two find themselves investigating God’s friend suggestions and inadvertently helping others in need. Miles is set on getting to the bottom of what he believes is an elaborate hoax, but in the meantime, he’ll play along and — in the process — change his life forever.
It stars Brandon Michael Hall, Violett Beane, Suraj Sharma, and Joe Morton and airs Sunday, September 30 at 8:00 p.m. ET on CBS
