The original Highway To Heaven series starred Landon, who died in 1991. Now, his legacy remains alive through the new film where his widow, Cindy Landon, served as an executive producer.

“I’m just happy to be a part of this and to have some sort of responsibility to what Michael Landon brought to his work and his shows,” Watson shared. “I’m just really proud of it and proud to have done this with Jill. I think we made a good team.”

Scott says that looking for the good in people is what the original series was all about and is what will continue in the film.

“I really think that the world has just gotten so dark, we’ve gone so left,” she expressed. “I’m for the dark. I’m for the left too now, because I think that there’s balance in that, but we’re missing the balance. We’re missing the sweetness and we’re missing the goodness. We’re just looking for the good in people, that’s it, that’s all we wanted and that’s what the original Highway to Heaven was really all about. Finding the good in people and reminding them that they are loved. It’s crazy out here and it can be such a deterrent to being gentle, to listening, and to having patience.”

She hopes the film will serve to remind people of their goodness.

“I’m hoping that this will remind people that they’re still good and that there’s good in all of us,” Scott said. “Go ahead and let it show. Be an angel to somebody.”

Highway to Heaven premieres on Lifetime Saturday, November 6th @ 8 p.m. ET.
