There has never been a better time to binge-watch reality shows, thanks to the coronavirus lockdowns. In case you're on the lookout for a new reality show to catch up on, then read on to know all about USA Network's upcoming reality show 'The Rev'.

'The Rev' follows Pastor Richard Hartley and his family. After spending years traveling across the globe, the pastor is back home in Long Island, NY. He has embarked on a mission to build his hometown's choir group with the help of his lovely wife, Stacey. We will also see the couple pushing their children Judea and Jordan to pursue their dreams. 

Jordan Hartley is Richard and Stacey’s 28-year-old son. Jordan is an aspiring musician and drummer in the church’s band. After growing up in the church his entire life, Jordan is in a discovery phase and he recently moved back home, where he is often coddled by his mother and sometimes challenges his father’s ways. Soft-spoken, Jordan has created his own music. As he says to his father in the trailer of the series, “Give me some patience, give her some patience.”

When it comes to music, Jordan takes after his father Richard, who isn't your ordinary church pastor. This New-York based pastor has performed with musical legends such as Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey, in his long-spanning career as a pastor and musical choir coach. Aside from performing alongside such legends, Hartley has also appeared on television with Aretha Franklin and in a movie with Diana Ross. He has also been lauded by Luther Vandross, Ashford and Simpson and Andrae Crouch, among others. 

The network describes the show as, "In this hilarious, melodic and inspirational new series, there’s never a dull moment in the world of larger-than-life Pastor Richard Hartley. When he isn’t preaching and inspiring his congregation at his Long Island, NY church, he’s dealing with his rambunctious and loving family… all while utilizing his musical skills to make the church’s choir top notch. Having spent years traveling the globe working with incredible choirs and A-list musicians, Richard is now focused on his hometown choir and, with the help of his wife Stacey, trying to get his millennial children, Judea and Jordan, out of the house so that they can build their own dreams."
 
'The Rev' is all set to premiere on Thursday, January 21, 2020, at 10.30 pm ET/PT on USA Network.
