Shelf Life

Shelf Life is an original comedy series currently in production for Angel Studios' streaming platform. Created, written, and directed by Brian Cates, the series follows a former pastor who, after being removed from his pulpit, lands a job at a local grocery store and discovers his calling to care for people can't be shelved. The cast includes Jim O'Heir, known for Parks and Recreation, and Zachary Levi of Shazam! fame, alongside a supporting ensemble. Production company Milk & Honey Studios is producing, with Richie Johns serving as producer and Mitch Hudson as executive producer. The series is currently filming in Oklahoma and is set to premiere exclusively on the Angel platform in 2027. Cates brings twenty years of experience working in faith-based comedy to the project, which aims to blend humor with honest explorations of faith, failure, and second chances in a format families can watch together.
