Anthony Sparks (Queen Sugar) will reportedly serve as showrunner, executive-producing alongside Biel, Michelle Purple and DeVon Franklin. No further information, including a potential network or streaming home for the reboot, is known at this time.
7th Heaven initially ran for 11 seasons (10 on The WB and one last hurrah on The CW) between 1996 and 2007, airing a total of 243 episodes. The story of a minister and his family, 7th Heaven originally starred Stephen Collins as Eric, Catherine Hicks as Annie, Barry Watson as Matt, David Gallagher as Simon, Biel as Mary, Beverly Mitchell as Lucy, Mackenzie Rosman as Ruthie and Happy the Dog as her dang self.
Additional notable series regulars throughout the show's storied run included Geoff Stults as Ben Kinkirk, Ashlee Simpson as Cecelia Smith, Rachel Blanchard as Roxanne Richardson, Jeremy London as Chandler Hampton, Tyler Hoechlin as Martin Brewer and Haylie Duff as Sandy Jameson.
The show's legacy was tarnished in December 2014 when audio recordings were released of Collins admitting to engaging in sexual misconduct with several underage girls. When TMZ asked Hicks for her thoughts on a potential 7th Heaven revival in 2016, she said, 'I mean, we'd have to open with Stephen's coffin.'
