Great American Media continues its aggressive expansion into premium Original Series in 2027.
“Abilene” will hit Great American platforms in early 2027. Rose Reid (Christmas on Every Page, Karen Kingsbury’s A Thousand Tomorrows) holds the title role of “Abby," (whose legal name is Abilene), and she plays a young woman looking for a fresh start.
What Is "Abilene" About?
Abby Morgan is a young woman looking to start over who finds herself stranded in the quiet, weathered town of Fair Haven, Ohio. What begins as a temporary stop becomes something more when Abby is offered work and a place to stay at a family-owned cider mill.
As Abby forms unexpected bonds with the Wagner family, each navigating their own lives, she is confronted by realities of her talent and past. Through music, hard work, and the quiet grace of a community that believes in second chances, Abby begins a journey worth exploring.
Set against the backdrop of orchards, open skies, and a town that time nearly forgot, Abilene blends heartfelt drama with music and romance, weaving together themes of forgiveness, identity, and belonging.
At its core is a simple but powerful question: Can you ever truly outrun your past, or does grace find you when you finally stop running?
With a compelling ensemble of characters, a richly textured setting, and an amazing soundtrack of original music that echoes Abby’s inner journey, the series invites viewers into a world where even the most broken paths can lead somewhere beautiful.
Abilene Reflects Great American Family's Commitment to Viewers
“Abilene is reflective of the kind of story we tell at Great American Media. It is beautifully made, emotionally resonant, and grounded in values that matter,” said Bill Abbott, President and CEO of Great American Media. “We are proud to create an environment where exceptional talent can do meaningful work and where strong storytelling and purpose go hand in hand. As our Originals slate continues to grow, our commitment remains simple: deliver high-quality stories that audiences can trust, enjoy, and remember,” Abbott concluded.
“Abilene was born out of a love for the people and places that make small-town America so special," said series’ creator, Nicholas DiBella. “It’s a world filled with music, orchards, front porches, family traditions, and the belief that hope can still change a life. We feel incredibly blessed to have found a partner in Great American Media, whose appreciation for uplifting storytelling aligns so beautifully with the spirit of Abilene,” DiBella concluded.
