WAM! America's Kidz Network has acquired 22 episodes of teen drama series Higher Ground from Lions Gate Television.
The one-hour episodes will premiere Saturdays starting in September as part of the channel's popular "Date @ 8" franchise. Episodes will encore throughout the week, networks officials said.
Starring Hayden Christensen (Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Life as a House), Higher Ground is set at Mt. Horizon, a wilderness school in the Pacific Northwest.
The show follows a group of troubled teens as they pull their lives together in an outward-bound setting. The school's progressive, yet supportive, staff helps the students to sort our their emotions as they overcome drug use, rebellion and family trauma.
"Higher Ground fits WAM!'s contemporary series strategy with its focus on teen issues that our viewers can relate to," WAM! programming vice president Midge Pierce said in a prepared statement.
"The dynamic series boosts a talented cast and intense story lines that speak directly to our teen viewers," she added.
