Fox has released a teaser for its upcoming Biblical series The Faithful: Women of the Bible, starring Minnie Driver as Sarah, which can be watched above.
The three-episode limited project will premiere on Sunday, March 22, airing from 8-10 pm ET/PT. The Faithful will air weekly through the Easter and Passover holiday season on Fox, and the next day on Hulu.
Fox touts that the project is 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.
The Faithful unfolds through the interwoven stories of five women whose lives were marked by quests for independence, deep-seated desires, and the desperate need for something far greater than they have ever known. Sarah, married to Abraham (Jeffrey Donovan) and 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 (Alexa Davalos), 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 (Millie Brady) and Rachel (Blu Hunt) 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.
The series also stars Natacha Karam as Sarah’s servant Hagar, Tom Mison as Rebekah’s husband Isaac, as well as Tom Payne and Ben Robson as Rebecca and Isaac’s adult sons Jacob and Esau, respectively. Additional cast includes James Purefoy as Laban, the patriarch of a complicated household and the older brother of Rebekah, Will Stevens as Birham, who, much like his father Laban, prefers fun over tending the flock and Taylor Napier as Acar, the older and more dominant of Laban’s two sons.
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 serves as executive producer along with Julie Weitz and Rene Echevarria, who penned the pilot and will also serve as showrunner.
