Jim O’Heir and Zachary Levi Join Faith-Based Comedy Series ‘Shelf Life’ from Angel Studios

Angel Studios, the distributor behind hits like The Chosen, is expanding into original comedy with Shelf Life, a new faith-based series from the producers of Biblical drama The Promised Land. Created, written, and directed by Brian Cates and produced by Milk & Honey Studios, the show is currently in production and set to premiere exclusively on the Angel platform in 2027. Cast members include Jim O’Heir, best known as Jerry Gergich on Parks and Recreation, and Zachary Levi, star of Shazam! and Chuck. The series marks a notable move for Angel as it diversifies beyond its core historical and Biblical content into lighter, character-driven storytelling. With a recognizable cast and a faith-oriented premise, Shelf Life aims to attract both devoted Angel subscribers and new viewers seeking clean, family-friendly entertainment. The involvement of established comedic and dramatic talent suggests a push for broader mainstream appeal while staying true to the studio’s values. As production continues, the series could become a key original title for Angel’s growing streaming platform, reinforcing its position in the competitive faith-based media market. The 2027 premiere leaves ample time for anticipation to build among fans of the cast and the studio’s previous work.
