Harry Potter‘s Daniel Radcliffe is donning some angel wings in the new TBS comedy series, Miracle Workers.
The seven-episode anthology comedy series, partly based on Simon Rich’s book What in God’s Name, is set in the offices of Heaven Inc. When God plans to destroy the Earth, two low-level angels must convince their boss to save humanity. They bet him they can pull off their most impossible miracle yet: help two humans fall in love.
Daniel Radcliffe plays Craig, a low-level angel responsible for handling all of humanity’s prayers, and Steve Buscemi plays Craig’s boss God, who has pretty much checked out and is ready to move on to his next project. To prevent Earth’s destruction, Craig and fellow angel Eliza (Geraldine Viswanathan) must answer a seemingly impossible prayer: help two humans fall in love. Karan Soni plays Sanjay, God’s right-hand man.
Starring Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire), Geraldine Viswanathan (Blockers), Karan Soni (Deadpool), and Sasha Compere (The Dead Girls Detective Agency). Tituss Burgess (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Margaret Cho (Drop Dead Diva), Angela Kinsey (The Office), Tim Meadows (Schooled), John Reynolds, Lolly Adefope (The Spy Who Dumped Me), and Chris Parnell (21 Jump Street) will also appear throughout the season.
The series is executive-produced by Rich, Radcliffe, Lorne Michaels, and Andrew Singer of Broadway Video, which will produce the series in association with Turner’s Studio.
Miracle Workers premieres February 12th on TBS.
