John Singleton is bringing a unique new drama to The CW, home of hit shows Jane The Virgin and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
Singleton’s show Straight Outta Heaven is described as a “Touched by an Angel-meets-Ghost” drama that mixes faith and rap for an “urban twist.”
Written and produced by Singleton and Dallas Jackson, the show is a “hip-hop-infused guardian angel drama.” Jackson said, “John and I have similar genre taste and recognized a need on network television for the underserved urban youth audience and faith-based audience.
The CW is the perfect home for this new kind of hero we’ve created whose superpower is faith.”

Straight Outta Heaven definitely sounds…interesting. No word yet on when the show will go into production or premiere, but we’re curious as to how audiences react to a show about rapping angels and can’t wait for a glimpse of the new drama.
