Fox has released a first-look teaser at their upcoming series “The Faithful: Women of the Bible.”
The new biblical epic series will premiere March 22 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox. The series, which was filmed on location in Rome and Matera, Italy, will air over three weeks of the Easter and Passover holiday season, with the finale taking place on April 5, Easter Sunday. Episodes will be available to stream the next day on Hulu.
Check out the teaser below.
The series showcases “a faithful dramatization of the Book of Genesis as told through the eyes of the courageous and passionate, yet flawed women whose descendants would shape the future of faith as we know it today.” Episodes of “The Faithful” will be told through the perspectives of five central female figures of the Old Testament: Sarah (Minnie Driver) and her servant Hagar (Natacha Karam), Sarah’s great-niece Rebekah (Alexa Davalos), and Rebekah’s nieces, sisters Leah (Millie Brady) and Rachel (Blu Hunt).
The show will depict the interwoven stories of the five women: Sarah, married to Abraham (Jeffrey Donovan) and desperate for a child, makes a complicated decision involving Hagar that forever alters her family’s path. Intent on securing her favorite son’s fate, Rebekah intervenes in her children’s lives, causing a legendary sibling rivalry. Leah and Rachel, once inseparable sisters, become rivals in both love and motherhood.
“The Faithful” is produced by FOX Entertainment Studios and distributed worldwide by FOX Entertainment Global. Carol Mendelsohn (“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”) is executive producer along with Julie Weitz (“Game of Silence”) and Rene Echevarria (“Carnival Row” and “The 4400”), who penned the pilot and will also serve as showrunner.
