Thank God: Christmas at Keller Ranch was inspired by their hit song “Thank God”
Lifetime teams up with Kane and Katelyn Brown for the upcoming holiday movie Thank God: Christmas at Keller Ranch as part of the network’s annual “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” programming slate. The film is a heartwarming Christmas romance inspired by the couple’s hit country duet, “Thank God,” and the song’s themes of redemption, commitment, romantic devotion, and faith. The movie will star Arielle Kebbel (Y: Marshals), who was previously on the Peabody Award-winning Lifetime series, UnREAL, and singer-songwriter Tyler Hilton (One Tree Hill), who returns to Lifetime holiday movies having starred in 2019’s A Christmas Wish.
“The song ‘Thank God’ is so special to us. We love performing it on stage and it’s incredible how it’s connected to so many fans. We also really love Christmas and celebrating as a family. So for these two worlds to collide, we couldn’t be more excited!” The Browns share.
The film tells the story of Wes Campbell (Hilton), a pro-hockey player who suffers an injury during a high-profile game just three weeks before Christmas. In his journey to recovery, Wes is referred to Keller Ranch in Nashville, where he meets no-nonsense rancher Maggie Keller (Kebbel), a single mom to son Dawson (Eshan Lyall) and an equestrian-assisted therapist. Despite his initial skepticism, Wes is desperate to return to the ice and decides to give equine therapy a shot. As Maggie manages to break down Wes’s walls, he also helps her heal from the grief of her husband’s death. But as an unexpected romance blossoms between the two, will it go the distance or is it just a holiday fling?
Thank God: Christmas at Keller Ranch is produced by Lex Emanuel for Fireside (TG) Films Inc in association with Studio TF1 America and ITV America, with Adam Reed, Kane Brown, Katelyn Brown, Martha Earls, Timothy O. Johnson, Abbey Sibucao, Carley Smale and Andrew Erin serving as executive producers. Stefan Brogren directs from a script penned by Carley Smale.
A release date is forthcoming.
