FOX Reveals Details On The New Biblical Event Series “The Faithful”

Next Easter, FOX will be releasing a brand new series called “The Faithful,” which is based on the best-selling book of all time, the Bible, and 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. Dimensional, dramatic, intimate, even surprising, “The Faithful” is about discovering and losing love, the challenges of marriage, the joys and heartbreak of children, confronting temptation, and finding faith.  

Episodes of “The Faithful” will be told through the lens of five of The Old Testament’s most legendary women: Sarah and her servant Hagar, Sarah’s great-niece Rebekah, and Rebekah’s nieces, sisters Leah and Rachel.      

“The Faithful” unfolds through the interwoven stories of five legendary women of the Bible’s Old Testament whose lives were marked by quests for independence, deep-seeded desires and the desperate need for something far greater than they have ever known.  Sarah, desperate for a child, takes an impassioned and complicated step through Hagar that forever alters her family’s path before experiencing an unexpected miracle late in life. Rebekah, intent on securing her favored child’s destiny, intervenes in her sons’ lives, setting into motion a legacy of sibling rivalry and division. And once inseparable sisters, Leah and Rachel become rivals in love and motherhood, building a fractured but foundational family whose descendants will carry the weight of history. Through longing, sacrifice, and perseverance, these women leave an enduring imprint on a story much bigger than their own.

Wholly owned by FOX Entertainment, “The Faithful” comes from FOX Entertainment Studios and is distributed worldwide by FOX Entertainment Global.  Under her first-look broadcast direct deal with FOX, Carol Mendelsohn (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation) serves as executive producer along with Julie Weitz (Game of Silence) and Rene Echevarria (Carnival Row, The 4400), who penned the pilot and will also serve as showrunner.       

This highly anticipated Biblical event series will debut on Sunday, 22nd March 2026 at 8 pm ET/PT on FOX and air in three, two-hour instalments leading into the finale on Easter Sunday, 5th April 2025.  The series, which begins production this summer in Rome and Matera, Italy, will air throughout the Easter and Passover season on FOX and it will be available the next day on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+.
