Date: Aug 26, 2002 By Steve Brennan LOS ANGELES (The Hollywood Reporter) --- Psychic John Edward is looking to the future as his successful syndicated TV show undergoes some core changes for next season, including a new focus on celebrities -- living celebrities, that is. The syndicated strip "Crossing Over With John Edward" debuted in the fall as the top-rated new show in syndication as audiences responded to the quirky format that sees Edward communicating with dead relatives of studio audience members and passing on messages from beyond the grave. Universal Domestic Television is now looking to make some changes to the series for next season, including the addition of celebrity readings in which Edward will conduct at-home group readings with well-known personalities, their families and friends. A.J. McLean and Brian Littrell of Backstreet Boys, Coolio and Jenny McCarthy already have sat down with Edward to tape segments for the new season, and many more celebrity sessions are planned, UDT has announced. The series originated on Sci Fi Channel before migrating to syndication for a dual broadcast/cable run as part of a synergistic move by UDT this season. In the coming season, "Crossing Over" will keep airing at 11 and 11:30 p.m. Sunday-Thursday on Sci Fi. But in a switch from last season, the show will now air first in broadcast syndication and later on Sci Fi, allowing the program to reach two distinct audiences available at different times of day. There also will be several new production elements, including more story updates from previous shows and additional on-location episodes and segments as Edward and the crew take the show on the road.
