William Earl Amazon Prime Video has acquired the family drama series “The Baxters” starring Roma Downey and Ted McGinley. The faith-infused series is based on the bestselling novels by author Karen Kingsbury.
The series has been in the works since early 2018, when Downey announced plans to produce a series based on Kingsbury’s books for her LightWorkers Media streaming platform.

Downey is executive producer of “The Baxters” with Will Packer for LightWorkers Media, Will Packer Media and Haven Entertainment.
