Top TV Producers Have Faith Audiences Will Tune Into These Biblical Tales
Several of the women of Genesis—Sarah, Hagar, Rebekah, Leah, and Rachel—take center stage in ‘The Faithful,’ a six-hour FOX event series kicking off March 22.
“Why not do the most difficult thing on the planet to get made at FOX television?” said executive producer Julie Weitz in a recent interview with The Epoch Times—which also included executive producer Carol Mendelsohn—about the upcoming TV mini-series event “The Faithful: Women of the Bible.”
“They’re morality tales,” Weitz said. “They’re close to us. They are their own little storybooks that we’ve been holding on to for our whole lives. So why shouldn’t we make them into films?”
