ABC's New Shows for the 2007-08 Season

Eli Stone
Midseason drama

Premise: A lawyer becomes convinced he's a modern-day prophet after seeing visions of George Michael singing "Faith."

First Impressions: Despite the oddball inclusion of Michael, this show looks to be playing its concept more or less down the middle and will offer a real-world explanation for the lead character's visions. Striking a balance between the schmaltzier aspects of Eli's journey and his befuddlement at being "chosen" will be hugely important.

Stars: Jonny Lee Miller ("Smith"), Natasha Henstridge ("Commander in Chief"), Loretta Devine ("Grey's Anatomy"), Victor Garber ("Alias"), Same Jaeger ("Catch and Release"), Laura Benanti ("Take the Lead," "Starved"), James Saito ("I Think I Love My Wife")

Studio: ABC Studios

Producers: Greg Berlanti ("Everwood," "Brothers & Sisters"), Marc Guggenheim ("Jack & Bobby"), Ken Olin ("Brothers & Sisters")
