EXCLUSIVE: Rob Doherty has extended his overall deal at CBS TV Studios for another year. Under the new pact, the veteran Medium writer-producer will join another female-centered supernatural drama from CBS TV Studios, the CW pilot Heavenly. Doherty will serve as executive producer-showrunner on the project, about a dedicated young female attorney and a former angel-turned-human who tackle cases together at the attorney’s legal aid clinic. Richard Hatem created the show and will executive produce the pilot with Doherty, Ross Fineman and Mimi Leder who is set to direct. UTA-repped Doherty spent the last 5 seasons on Medium, rising to executive producer. He previously worked on Point Pleasant, Tru Calling, Dark Angel and Star Trek: Voyager.

This fall! From C B S! Animal Instincts.
That is, hands down, the stupidest idea for a show I’ve ever heard.
Is it just me, or does Heavenly seem really derivative of Drop Dead Diva? Female lawyer, guardian angel helping out. So annoying.
How refreshing to once again have wholesome, faith based, moral shows propping up on television as opposed to shows about philandering immoral characters who are only portraying their true selves by indulgent drug and womanising habits. Praying that this becomes a series! Good job CBS!
Have you read the script? I have…there’s quite a bit of “philandering”!! Good script though…
This sounds like a rip-off of Supernatural’s angel Castiel, and somehow I seriously doubt it will be as good. It sounds like some lawyer-version of Touch by an Angel.
