Deadline stated that Fox Studios just signed Minnie Driver (Emily in Paris, Millers in Marriage), Jeffrey Donovan (First Love, National Champions), and Natasha Karam (The Old Guard, 9-1-1:Lone Star) to The Faithful, a six-episode limited biblical series.  Carol Mendelsohn (CSI: Vegas, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation) and Rene Echevarria (Teen Wolf: The Movie, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) are the creators.

Directed and produced by Danny Cannon (Troubled Times, Lesser-Known League Gaming), The Faithful Part 1 will premiere Sunday, March 22, according to Deadline.  It will be airing three, two-hour installments with the final episode on Easter Sunday, April 5.  Driver will be portraying Sarah, Donovan as Abraham and Karma is signed to play Hagar in this biblical mini-series.

According to Deadline, the miniseries is based on a story from Genesis, the first book of the Bible’s Old Testament. It will center on iconic women of the times: Sarah, her great-niece Rebekah, Rebekah’s sisters Leah and Rachel, and Hagar, Sarah’s former slave.

According to Deadline, the first episode will focus on Sarah and Hagar, and the man they eventually share, Sarah’s husband, Abraham. Feeling incomplete without a child God promised her, Sarah tells Abraham to bear a child with Hagar. Shortly after the child is born, Sarah and Abraham experience a miracle from God.

According to Deadline, The Faithful will begin production this summer.  At the same time, Driver will be filming Netflix’s Emily In Paris, which is filmed in Europe. Driver’s last role was Elizabeth I in season two of Starz’s The Serpent Queen. Donovan is known for USA Network’s Burn Notice and most recently starred on the new iteration of NBC’s Law & Order. Karam was a series regular on the now-canceled Fox procedural, 9-1-1: Lone Star. The three stars are not the only ones bouncing from one production to another.  Director Cannon recently worked on Epix series Pennyworth and directed the pilot for CW’s Gotham Knights.
