Over the last few years, The Chosen has become one of the most popular shows on TV. The series was written and directed by Dallas Jenkins, and it serves as a historical and dramatic retelling of the life of Jesus Christ through those who knew him. It’s set against the backdrop of Roman oppression in first-century Israel. The show features a talented ensemble cast, including Shahar Isaac as Simon Peter, George H. Xanthis as John, Jonathan Roumie as Jesus, Elizabeth Tabish as Mary Magdalene, Paras Patel as Matthew, Noah James as Andrew, Shaan Sharma as Shmuel, Jordan Walker Ross as Little James, Giavani Cairo as Thaddeus, Nick Shakoour as Zebedee, and more. The Chosen has become so popular that its episodes are released in theaters to gross millions before they begin streaming on Prime Video.

The Chosen has kicked off a renaissance on streaming that has increased the demand for more faith-based content. Even popular stars like Chris Pratt have publicly praised the show, going as far as to call it “incredible pop culture canon.” Fox has found its alternative to The Chosen in a new religious series, The Faithful: Women of the Bible, which will air this Sunday, March 22. The first two episodes of the show will air on Fox this Sunday and begin streaming on Hulu the following day, with new episodes following this trend weekly until the final two episodes of Season 1 air on April 5. The series is billed as a faithful dramatization of the Book of Genesis, told through the eyes of courageous yet flawed women whose descendants would shape the future of faith. It was written and created for TV by René Echevarria.

Who Stars in ‘The Faithful: Women of the Bible’?

The Faithful: Women of the Bible stars Alexa Davalos as Rebekah, Minnie Driver as Sarah, Jeffrey Donovan as Abraham, Natacha Karam as Hagar, and Blu Hunt as Rachel. The series is showrun by Julie Weitz, with Carol Mendelsohn and Franco Della Posta serving as producers. The fate of the series beyond Season 1 has yet to be decided, but if it performs well in the viewership department, it’s a no-brainer that Fox will look for more stories to tell. It could yet be the perfect competitor to The Chosen.
