ABC is taking on the Old Testament. This week, the network released a new trailer for their upcoming biblical drama, Of Kings and Prophets.
The series premieres on March 8th.
Of Kings and Prophets will follow the story of King Saul (Ray Winstone), the first king of the Israelites, as he “struggles to unify the 12 Israelite tribes and defend his fledgling nation against savage enemy attacks.” The series will also feature Mohammad Bakri as the prophet Samuel, Olly Rix as David, and Simone Kessell as Queen Ahinoam.
Watch the trailer below:
What do you think? Will you watch Of Kings and Prophets? Are you familiar with the bible story?
I look forward to seeing this series. I’m hopeful that the writers are not looking to besmirch the truth of this Bible story for the sake of money and entertainment. I’m praying that the writers understand how God can bless their efforts if they take advantage of this opportunity to use their platform to share the biblical truth accurately, which can benefit people…not confuse them.
I will give any show that presents the Bible, accurately, a chance. If it takes too many liberties with creative license, then I’ll stop. My family gave Noah a chance and discovered it was so wrong. Keep it accurate and everything will be fine.
