FOX’s The Faithful: Women of The Bible Sunday March 22, 29, and 5th
A new biblical series The Faithful: Women of The Bible is offering a fresh look at the story of Genesis, focusing on the experiences of several of the Bible’s most recognized women. The Faithful: Women of the Bible explores the lives of Sarah, Hagar, Rebekah, Leah, and Rachel, revealing how their journeys and the generations that followed helped shape the unfolding story of faith and salvation.
Stories from the Book of Genesis have been shared for generations, but this new series places a special focus on the women whose lives played such an important role in the larger biblical narrative. Through their struggles, faith, and perseverance, these women remind us that even in uncertain moments, God’s plan continues to unfold.
SYNOPSIS:
The highly anticipated Biblical Event Series, The Faithful: Women of the Bible, starring Minnie Driver, Natacha Karam, and Jeffrey Donovan, premieres Sunday, March 22 (8:00–10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX and unfolds as a three-week television event culminating on Easter Sunday, April 5. Episodes will also stream the next day on Hulu.
Filmed on location in Rome and Matera, Italy, this landmark drama thoughtfully brings to life stories from the Book of Genesis through the women whose lives were woven into God’s unfolding plan.
Through moments of waiting, trust, brokenness, forgiveness, and redemption, the series explores the deeply human experiences behind Scripture and invites viewers to see familiar passages with renewed understanding and compassion.
Each episode follows the journeys of five women of faith:
Sarah (Minnie Driver) — learning to trust God’s promises even when hope feels impossible
Hagar (Natacha Karam) — discovering that God sees and cares for the forgotten
Rebekah (Alexa Davalos) — wrestling with family, purpose, and the consequences of choice
Leah (Millie Brady) and Rachel (Blu Hunt) — sisters navigating love, identity, and God’s blessing
Through their struggles and perseverance, we are reminded that God works through imperfect people to accomplish a story far greater than any one life — a story that ultimately points forward to hope.
Produced by FOX Entertainment Studios and distributed worldwide by FOX Entertainment Global, the series is executive produced by Carol Mendelsohn (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation), Julie Weitz (Game of Silence), and Rene Echevarria (Carnival Row, The 4400), who also serves as showrunner.
For those who enjoy faith-based stories, this series may offer a meaningful opportunity to revisit familiar scripture through a different lens. Consider watching together with family, friends, or a small group and using the episodes as a starting point for conversations about faith, trust, and God’s faithfulness across generations.
If you enjoy faith-based stories and biblical history, The Faithful: Women of the Bible may be a meaningful series to add to your watch list this season.

This was such a meaningful read. The stories of faithful women in the Bible are so powerful and continue to inspire strength and perseverance today. Thank you for sharing this reflection.
I hadn’t heard of this show until now! I think it will be most intersting to see Hagar’s story, since it’s so rarely told!

Some of these stories in the Bible are pretty spicy. Can’t wait to see how they’re going to do the Rachelle and Leah story that one’s always been fascinating to me.
