Biblical Drama ‘The Faithful' Greenlit at Fox
Fox will turn to the Bible for one of its drama series in the 2025-26 season. The network has greenlit The Faithful, a limited series from executive producer Carol Mendelsohn (CSI) and writer and showrunner Rene Echevarria (The 4400, Carnival Row). The six-episode series is based on the book of Genesis in the Old Testament and will be 'told through the eyes of the courageous and passionate, yet flawed women whose descendants would shape three of the world's great faiths: Judaism, Christianity and Islam,' per the show's logline. More from The Hollywood Reporter Josh Charles to Star in 'Doc Martin' Adaptation at Fox 'Lopez vs. Lopez' and 'Night Court' Canceled After Three Seasons Apiece at NBC 'American Idol' Among Five ABC Unscripted Pickups, 'Bachelor' Still in Limbo The series is the product of a first-look broadcast deal Mendelsohn signed with Fox in 2022. Fox Entertainment Studios is producing; Mendelsohn, her producing partner Julie Weitz and Echevarria are the executive producers. 'The Faithful follows the Old Testament's heroic, biblical matriarchs and opens a new lane of storytelling at Fox. This show is the definition of strong, female character-driven storytelling, exploring timeless themes that originated thousands of years ago, yet remain startlingly modern and relatable,' said Fox Television Network president Michael Thorn. 'Carol, Julie and Rene bring unbelievable depth, dimension, intimacy and surprise to stories so many think they know but will completely rediscover through this powerful new lens.' The Faithful will center on the stories of five women — Sarah and Hagar, Rebekah, and Leah and Rachel — and explore ideas around 'discovering and losing love, the challenges of marriage, the joys and heartbreak of children, confronting temptation and finding faith.' The drama is set to air over three consecutive weeks in the spring of 2026, coinciding with Passover and Easter in early April. It joins fellow newcomer Best Medicine on Fox's slate for next season.

The Bondsman, review: Kevin Bacon is perfectly cast in Amazon's schlocky gore-fest
If Kevin Bacon pushing over a fridge to crush a demon's head like a watermelon is your thing; if Kevin Bacon driving a chainsaw through another demon's skull like a demented Elon Musk (or Elon Musk) is your jam, then The Bondsman (Amazon Prime Video) is your TV show. This freewheeling, hyper-violent genre mash-up tells the story of Hub Halloran (Bacon), a wizened bounty hunter who is killed, comes back to life and then recruited by the devil to hunt down demons who have escaped from hell. I mean it happens. Given that Hub is the kind of chain-smokin', truck-drivin', country-music lovin' hillbilly who, lest we forget, is already dead, he takes to the work with relish. And much the same could be said for the show's creators Grainger David and producer Erik Oleson (Carnival Row, Marvel's Daredevil), who have a complete blast throughout. The Bondsman is a rampant gothic gore-fest, the camera lingering lovingly on every severed windpipe and gratuitous disembowelment. It is heavy guitar music and ravens on gravestones. It is neither subtle nor in any way edifying, but then it is not intended to be. Bacon, who is looking more and more like Richard Bacon with every passing EE ad, comes with just the right level of irony for this kind of thing. The premise is daft, his character is dafter and he can barely conceal the smirk that says he knows as much. But Bacon, who lest we forget has been acting in everything from Animal House to Mystic River for nearly 50 years, can do this. And anyway, everything about The Bondsman says that if you don't like it, you can leave. It is unrepentant schlock horror played for genre fans who know what they like. It may be the first example of MAGA scripted television. In an age when TV has become a very serious business – with billions riding on new streamer launches that themselves rely on overblown, po-faced franchises with names like The Wings of the House of Time – it is refreshing to find a series that doesn't take itself too seriously. You know as much because – massive spoiler alert – a few episodes down the line Bacon puts on a trucker cap and picks up a guitar. Everybody cut loose. The Bondsman is also refreshingly brief, served up in rootin', tootin' half-hours that make their mark and then leave, like all the best guests. There is a smattering of Appalachian lore, a barely-bothered with throughline about condemned souls and redemption, some quite good jokes and an awful lot of Bacon killing things. Something for everyone, then – if quite a lot for no one too. The Bondsman is on Amazon Prime Video from Thursday 3 April
