Twice in a Lifetime

Twice in A Lifetime is an inspiring and provocative series that taps into a universal fantasy: to be given a second chance to fix an error of the past. Every episode features a guest star playing a flawed person who dies suddenly. Waiting for him or her on the other side are two celestial figures: a guide, Mr. Jones (Gordie Brown), and Judge Othniel (Al Waxman), who offers the person a chance to return to earth and to a time when they went astray. Accompanied by Mr. Jones, the character has three days to cajole his younger self to not make the same mistake.

In Season 2, Paul Popowich replaced Gordie Brown as a new character, Mr. Smith, who is a human rescued from a fire by Judge Othniel to become a celestial guide. Mr. Smith, who doesn’t remember his own life on earth and death, struggles to make sense of human nature and to unravel the mysteries of the Universe. But by guiding others, he hopes to earn his own chance at Twice in a Lifetime.
