Impact Network Inaugural Scripted Series ‘Highly Favored’ Sets Main Cast (EXCLUSIVE)
Impact Network's upcoming first scripted series has set its cast.
Variety has learned that the half-hour workplace comedy “Highly Favored” has cast: Michael Colyar (“Blackish,” “House Party III,” “The Princess & The Frog,” “Martin”), KiKi Shepard (“It’s Showtime at the Apollo,” “Miss Evers Boys,” “Mind Your Business,” “Grey’s Anatomy”), Anthony S. Goolsby (“Will Trent,” “42”), Chico Benymon (“Half & Half,” “Ali,” “The Haunted Hathaways”), Rodney Perry (“Coming to America 2,” “Johnson Family Vacation”), and Melanie Comarcho (“Phat Tuesdays,” Snoop Dog’s “F*CN Around”). The official logline for the series states, “Rooted in humor, family, community and a touch of the absurd, ‘Highly Favored’ explores the clash between tradition and modernity through the point of view of the charismatic yet old-fashioned Pastor Michael Crawley (Colyar).” A talented music producer who failed to hit the big time, MJ finds himself back under his parents’ roof, along with his daughter Brianna (Kali Rose Lewis), and at the organ accompanying the church choir.
