Fox’s biblical miniseries The Faithful has completed its main cast.
The six-hour series, set to premiere March 22 to coincide with the Passover and Easter holidays, has added Millie Brady, Blu Hunt, James Purefoy, Will Stevens and Taylor Napier to its ensemble. They’ll star in the final installment of the show, which is set to air on Easter, April 5.
The five actors join the previously cast Minnie Driver, Jeffrey Donovan, Natacha Karam, Alexa Davalos, Tom Mison, Tom Payne and Ben Robson.
Fox greenlit The Faithful in May. It comes from executive producers Carol Mendelsohn (CSI) — who has a first-look broadcast deal at the network — Julie Weitz and Rene Echevarria (Carnival Row), who is the showrunner. It’s based on the book of Genesis and will be “told through the eyes of the courageous and passionate, yet flawed women whose descendants would shape the future of faith as we know it today,” per the show’s logline.
Brady (Apple’s Surface) will play Leah, and Hunt (Sherlock and Daughter) will play Leah and Rachel, the daughters of Laban (Purefoy), the patriarch of a complicated household and older brother of Rebekah (Davalos). Stevens (The Thursday Murder Club) and Napier (The Wheel of Time) are set to play Birham and Acar, Laban’s sons. Payne will also appear in the final installment as Jacob, continuing his role from earlier in the series.
Fox Entertainment Studios is producing The Faithful.
Brady is repped by ITG, WME and Jackoway Austen; Hunt, by IAG, Death Wish Entertainment and Yorn Levine; Purefoy, by CAA, Linden Entertainment and Independent Talent in the U.K.; Stevens, by 42mp and Luber Roklin Entertainment; and Napier, by Echo Lake Entertainment and United Agents.
