FAR FROM HEAVEN’s Dennis Haysbert officially joined the cast of HOME.
“You know the voice. You know the face. Now see him as the man who hands Johnny Jones his sentence, and with it, the second chance he never asked for,” an Instagram account for the movie announced. “Dennis Haysbert joins HOME as Judge Noble Williams.”
An IMDb synopsis of HOME reads, “A charismatic con man is sentenced to community service where an unexpected love story becomes a tale of courage as he risks everything to save an immigrant child to give the young boy the Home he never had.”
Mike Vogel plays conman Johnny J, with Alexa PenaVega and DeVon Franklin also joining the cast.

“HOME is a story about redemption, belonging and the unexpected ways we find purpose through other people,” director Sean McNamara said in a statement. “At its core, it’s about protecting those who need it most and redefining what family really means.”
In an Instagram video, Vogel shared his hopes that it will inspire others to help people.
“I think it’s easy; you see someone who’s hungry and you’re like, ‘Oh, man, someone should feed that person, that’s sad,’” he said. “But we have hands and feet, and I think the same way with foster kids and with orphans…the Bible gives the example to care for the widows and the fatherless.”
Vogel added, “After people see this [movie] — not everyone is called [to become], or will be, a foster parent or adoptive parent, but we can all do something, you know, whether it’s serving on a weekend somewhere and giving some time helping the finances of an orphanage, or making the ultimate sacrifice and stepping in and being an adoptive parent, a foster parent, and I think that’s what I would love for people to walk away with.”
PenaVega also spoke about the movie’s message of service, saying she hopes that HOME will be “really important” and “impactful for people.”
“We all have an opportunity to jump in and do something in some way or another, whether you’re bringing a voice to the cause, whether you’re volunteering with people, whether you’re helping a foster family,” she said. “There’s so many different ways that we can be involved with helping children.”
HOME will premiere sometime in 2027.
