Lionsgate Film ‘My Jesus’ Adds Cheyenne Jackson & Country Singer Carly Pearce Among 6 Newly Cast

EXCLUSIVE: My Jesus film has added 5 supporting cast members, including Abby Glover, Sophia Bunnell, Chloé Flowers, Pilot Bunch, and Cheyenne Jackson. They join the previously announced cast, led by Aliza Kate Barlow: Gavin Casalegno, Monica Potter, Kay Oyegun, Beau Bridges, and Charles Esten.

Country singer Carly Pearce will make a special appearance in the project from Lionsgate and Kingdom Story Company, inspired by the Anne Wilson book My Jesus: From Heartache to Hope.

The music-driven, coming-of-age film follows the inspiring story of Anne (Barlow), a regular teenager who is driven by a life-altering moment to post a video of herself singing online, triggering an avalanche of responses and catching the attention of executives across the Christian and country music industries. But finding her voice means Anne must also navigate the impact her gift has on everyone around her, including the changes it brings to her family and friends and the weight of her own expectations. Along the way, she must redefine how she views herself, her place in the world, her relationship with God, and ultimately, her purpose.

Glover will play Liz, Anne’s sister; Bunnell will play Emma, Anne’s friend; Flowers will play Carson, Anne’s friend; Bunch will play Wylie, Anne’s classmate; and Jackson will play Dan, general manager of the Grand Ole Opry.

In addition to Barlow playing Anne, Casalegno plays her brother Jacob. Potter plays Anne and Jacob’s mother, Lynn, alongside Charles Esten as their father, Kent, and Bridges as their grandfather, Bob.

Kay Oyegun will direct the film in her feature directorial debut and has also written the screenplay. Kingdom Story Company’s Joshua Walsh, Brandon Gregory, Andrew Erwin, and Daryl LeFever will produce, with Jim Miller, Matthew West, and Robert Deaton serving as executive producers, alongside Capitol Christian Music Group’s Brad O’Donnell and David Blackman. Meredith Wieck and Maria Ascanio are overseeing for Lionsgate. Gaby Ludlow at Kingdom Story Company and Phil Strina at Lionsgate negotiated the deals.
