BELOVED AFFIRM ORIGINALS SERIES "GOING HOME" RETURNS TO GREAT AMERICAN PURE FLIX FOR SECOND COMPELLING SEASON, CELEBRATING THE JOURNEY OF LIFE

Cynthia Geary, Aviona Rodriguez Brown, and Cozi Zuehlesdorff Star as Nurses Guiding Patients to Their Ultimate Destinations as Series Returns with New Episodes on January 5

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 3, 2024 -- Great American Pure Flix proudly announces the upcoming second season of their popular television series, Going Home. New episodes premiere each Friday from January 5 through February 9 on the leading faith- and family-streaming service.

Going Home premiered on Great American Pure Flix in June of 2022 with the show's first season and quickly became a member favorite. Creator Dan Merchant returns as the AFFIRM Originals series' showrunner and lead director. Cynthia Geary once again stars as Charley Copeland, a hospice nurse who sees her role as a calling from God to help shepherd people from this life to eternity. Watch the trailer link here.

"This is one of my favorite and most meaningful roles," Geary said. "I can't wait for 'Going Home' fans to experience this new season filled with stories of compassion and forgiveness."

In addition to Geary, the show also stars Cozi Zuehlesdorff, Aviona Rodriguez Brown, Steve Lloyd, Christopher Wiehl, Elly Sims, Trent Sims, and Matt Davidson.

Season 2 guest stars include Karen Allen (RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK), Mel Harris (THIRTYSOMETHING), Ellen Travolta (CHARLES IN CHARGE), Gloria Reuben (LINCOLN), George Newbern (FATHER OF THE BRIDE), and Cayden Boyd (THE ADVENTURES OF SHARKBOY AND LAVAGIRL).

"We loved hearing how the show touched people's hearts in our first season," Merchant said. "In this new season, things get more personal for Charley and the other hospice nurses. We think the audience will be touched as Charley explores GriefShare with Alec to help manage the loss of his wife as well as a loss Charley doesn't realize she's still grieving. Janey grows into her own as an excellent nurse only to find things complicated by a new love interest, and Tamara manages serious health issues even as her strength and grace bolster Sunset House."

GriefShare is a global Christian grief-support group that has a personal connection to Going Home. Merchant turned to a GriefShare group for support after the loss of his father and found it instrumental in his healing journey.

The first episode of the second season releases on Great American Pure Flix Friday, January 5. The rest of the release schedule is set for:

Episode 2: Friday, January 12

Episode 3: Friday, January 19

Episode 4: Friday, January 26

Episode 5: Friday, February 2

Episode 6: Friday, February 9

Season 1 is available exclusively on Great American Pure Flix.

The new "Going Home Original Series Soundtrack" will be digitally released on January 12th by Madison Gate Records making available a collection of original songs from the first two seasons of the show. The inspiring theme song, "The Way Home," written and performed by Aaron Morgan, and "The Road Back to You" by Nate Merchant, are featured among a dozen original songs crafted specifically for the show. "The songs are an essential ingredient to the beautiful world of Going Home. The music invites you deeper into the story, almost like the songs are another character," said writer/co-producer Kara Merchant. The soundtrack album also includes several moving selections from composer Stephen Phillips' evocative score. "Going Home provides me such a beautiful tapestry of real-life emotion to score to that I often find myself on a divine autopilot as I'm crafting the music," noted Phillips.
