The official synopsis of “The Faithful” highlights it as “a faithful dramatization of the Book of Genesis through the perspectives of the passionate, courageous, yet flawed women, whose descendants would redefine the future of faith. Richly layered, dramatic, intimate, and often surprising, ‘The Faithful’ explores themes of love and loss, marital challenges, the trials of parenthood, temptation, and the journey to faith.”
“The Faithful” is slated to debut on March 22, 2026, on Fox, with its concluding two-hour episode set to air on Easter Sunday. The series will be broadcast during the Easter and Passover period on Fox, with a following release on Hulu the next day.
Rene Echevarria has penned the pilot and will step into the roles of showrunner and executive producer for “The Faithful.” Carol Mendelsohn is also on board as an executive producer through her exclusive broadcast direct deal with Fox, alongside Julie Weitz as an executive producer. The series is owned entirely by Fox Entertainment and produced by Fox Entertainment Studios, with worldwide distribution managed by Fox Entertainment Global.
