Carlton Cuse creating a new show about a spiritual guide

According to New York Magazine’s Vulture, Carlton Cuse and author Rob Bell have signed a deal with ABC to co-write and co-executive produce a show called Stronger, about a musician who becomes a “benefactor and spiritual guide.”

The show will be “loosely based on Bell’s own life story as a musician who ended up founding his own church, Michigan’s Mars Hill Bible Church,” which is more Oprah than fire-and-brimstone.

“There’s also expected to be a narrative twist to the project that will make it a bit unconventional, but for now, that detail is being kept secret”

Carlton is also working on another show for ABC, Point of Honor, which has something to do with the Civil War, and is writing an African adventure movie which will star Hugh Jackman.
