The series, which is intended as a franchise, will “redefine the way we perceive Jesus’ life against the backdrop of the turbulent times,” according to the producer. It will set Jesus’ life and mission in the context of the intense political backdrop in which he emerged as a revolutionary figure who dared challenge the status quo.
“We’re delighted to be collaborating with our new partners at Fox Nation to explore the life of Jesus in this new and illuminating way,” said exec producer Ben Goold.
In recent years, Nutopia has nurtured a reputation for this form of historical docu-drama, and it has already made a Jesus show titled Jesus: His Life for History in 2019.
Other docu-drama credits include The Last Czars for Netflix and The Royal Mob for Sky. It also makes premium unscripted such as Welcome to Earth with Will Smith.
