Shadrach is the fourth original series this year and the Sony/AFFIRM production is another shining example of the high-quality we offer families who are looking to be enriched by their viewing experience,” Abbott concluded.
Director Sean McNamara shared his excitement about the series, stating, “I’m so proud to share this incredible family series with the world and for all you horse lovers, I’m excited for you to meet Hollywood Accolade, the horse who plays SHADRACH!!!”
Created by Holly Goldberg Sloan (Angels In The Outfield), Shadrach follows the Wilson family as they transition from city life to the country. The series focuses on the adjustments they must make, particularly 12-year-old Anna Wilson (Birch), who discovers a majestic horse named Shadrach in the woods on her way home from school. This encounter profoundly impacts the Wilson family’s lives. The series consists of six original episodes, streaming each Thursday at 8 p.m. ET, beginning July 25.
