In 2013, executive producers Roma Downey (of “Touched by an Angel” fame) and Mark Burnett (executive producer of “Survivor,” “Shark Tank” and other hit shows) blew the roof off cable TV ratings with “The Bible” miniseries. Now the duo is moving to broadcast television with a 12-part follow-up series: “A.D.: The Bible Continues.”
Debuting on Easter Sunday, April 5, at 9 p.m. Eastern / 8 p.m. Central on NBC and continuing on Sunday nights, “A.D.” will dramatize the days following Jesus’ death and resurrection, as the first Christian disciples endured both Jewish and Roman persecution to spread the good news that would change the world forever.
Downey and Burnett told WND they hope this riveting new drama – which has already been described as “‘Game of Thrones’ meets ‘The Bible’” – will captivate audiences the way “The Bible” did and become destination TV for many seasons to come.
