FOX’s The Faithful Adds to Cast

The Faithful, the first installment of FOX’s upcoming biblical event series, has added Minnie Driver (Good Will Hunting, Circle of Friends), Jeffrey Donovan (Fargo, Burn Notice) and Natacha Karam (9-1-1: Lone Star) to its cast.

Danny Cannon (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation) is set to direct the premiere episode of the series, which is to be a faithful dramatization of the Book of Genesis through the eyes of the women whose descendants shaped the future of faith. Driver will star as Sarah, while Donovan will play Abraham and Karam will portray Hagar.

In the premiere episode, Sarah feels incomplete without the child that was promised to her and her husband, Abraham, by God. After braving isolation, famine, the ire of the Pharaoh and several more years of barrenness, Sarah resorts to her own plan to bring a child into the world involving her maidservant Hagar and Abraham. However, jealousy sets in after Hagar gives birth to Ishmael, from whose lineage the Islamic religion traces its roots. Then, a miracle happens.

The Faithful is set to debut on March 22, 2026, on FOX in the U.S. and air in three two-hour installments. The finale will air on Easter Sunday on April 5, 2026. It will stream the next day on Hulu.

Wholly owned by FOX Entertainment, The Faithful comes from FOX Entertainment Studios and is distributed worldwide by FOX Entertainment Global. Under her first-look broadcast direct deal with FOX, Carol Mendelsohn (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation) is executive producing along with Julie Weitz (Game of Silence) and Rene Echevarria (Carnival Row, The 4400), who penned the pilot and will also serve as showrunner.

Production is to begin this summer in Rome and Matera, Italy.
