It looks like TV shows can be inspired by songs now. Dave Annable has been set as the lead in Heart of Life, a drama pilot inspired by the John Mayer song of the same name.
Heart of Life follows two sets of adult siblings from wildly different worlds who discover they’re related and must reassess everything they thought they knew about their shared father. As they explore the mystery of their separate childhoods, they’ll experience the difficulty in overcoming the sins of the past and learn the joys of reuniting with long-lost family.
Annable will play Wesley “Wes” Reid, the brother in one of the two sets of adult siblings. The other set is played by Harry Shum Jr. and Katie Findlay. The pilot is written by Ben Queen and directed by Anne Fletcher & Queen, Mayer, Paul Weitz, and Melvin Mar executive produce for 20th Century Fox TV and ABC Studios.
Annable, who co-starred on ABC’s Brothers & Sisters for five seasons, recently starred with his wife Odette in Freeform’s romantic comedy film No Sleep Til Christmas.
