The first trailer has arrived online for A.D.: Beyond the Bible, a twelve-hour sequel to The History Channel’s hit miniseries The Bible, which is set to air on NBC next year, and we have it for you below after the official synopsis…
A.D.: BEYOND THE BIBLE begins in the dark days after Jesus’ betrayal and death. A perfect storm brews in the Holy Land, fueled by social injustice, Roman military oppression and religious unrest. High priests and the Herod dynasty vie for power. Zealot revolutionaries turn to violence to regain what they believe is their promised land. And in the face of terrible odds and brutal persecution, the small band of Jesus’ disciples stand against the combined might of Rome and their own local authorities. In a generation of rebellion, war, famine, and carnage, who can they trust? Who should they fear? Will tomorrow bring a violent death? For many, it does … but others survive, and as the storm around them breaks, the fate of Israel, of Rome and of their faith is decided.
A.D.: Beyond the Bible is produced by Mark Burnett and Roma Downey and stars Juan Pablo Di Pace (Dallas), James Callis (Battlestar Galactica), Chipo Chung (Doctor Who), Vincent Regan (Clash of the Titans) and Emmett J. Scanlan (The Fall)
