What would you do if God sent you a friend request? They say the Almighty works in mysterious ways and, in this case, it’s through Facebook.

In the uplifting new CBS drama God Friended Me, Brandon Micheal Hall (The Mayor, Search Party) stars as podcast host Miles Finer, a spiritual skeptic who doesn’t exactly know what to do when The Man Upstairs appears to add Miles on Facebook.

To make matters even more perplexing, the God account begins suggesting other friends, leading Miles to become an agent of change in the lives of those around him.

While the reason why he’s been tasked with helping these strangers isn’t immediately clear, Miles starts to think there’s much more to this story than meets the inbox. After all, the Almighty works in mysterious ways both online… and offline.

God Friended Me is sure to be one of the most inspiring TV series on the fall scheduled this year. You can catch God Friended Me this Fall on Sundays at 8/7c on CBS.
