Hallelujah Pilot - Being re-developed

Earlier this year, one of ABC’s more promising and ambitious pilots was Hallelujah, from producer Marc Cherry​. Although it had amassed an impressive and star-studded cast, with a biblical good vs. evil theme, the show somehow failed to find a spot ABC’s fall schedule.

All is not lost, however, as ABC is reportedly still interested in turning Hallelujah into a series – just not before Cherry has an opportunity to tweak it, and make it more palatable.


The series, set in the small Tennessee town of Hallelujah (of course), followed the brewing trouble between a small family man and business owner Rye Turner (Donal Logue​), and ruthless millionaire Del Roman (Terry O’Quinn) who controls nearly every aspect of the titular town. As events begin to spiral out of control, a stranger, Jared O’Neal (Jesse L. Martin of Law & Order), comes to bring peace to the troubled town.

One of the more unique aspects of the show was the gospel choir, which was to help illustrate the violence between the two men through song (think the two-man band from There’s Something About Mary, but less cheeky).
