FOX Series Revives Genesis Women True to Scripture
Faith Facts
- The Faithful adapts Genesis via Sarah, Hagar, Rebekah, Leah, Rachel.
- Premiering March 22 on FOX for three Sundays.
- Producers vow fidelity to Scripture without compromise.
Executive producers Julie Weitz and Rene Echevarria deliver biblical truth to mainstream TV, centering women’s vital roles in God’s unfolding plan.
This series spotlights internal journeys of faith and freedom overlooked by Hollywood.
“We had this epiphany that there’s a point of view that has not been really looked at,” Weitz said. “Which were the women and how they were essential to the stories that most people know about: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob.”
Sarah’s path embodies deepening faith; Hagar’s pursues liberation amid surrogacy’s ancient pact.
“It’s a fairly modern story about a pledge, a deal between two women about a child,” Weitz said.
“If it is expressly stated in the Bible, that is our roadmap,” Weitz affirmed. “Where it’s not, we obviously have to imagine a bit. This is television.”
Theologian Russell Moore guided accuracy, grounding drama in ancient Near East realities filmed across Italy.
“These women are remembered for their great faith,” Echevarria noted. “But it was a journey.”
Like The Chosen, it proves America’s enduring appetite for values-driven stories upholding family, faith, and freedom.
