PART TWO OF FOX NATION'S "MARTIN SCORSESE PRESENTS: THE SAINTS" TO ROLL OUT THROUGH THE HOLY SEASON

New Episodes will Kick Off with Premiere of Saint Francis on Friday, April 4th

NEW YORK - March 27, 2025 - FOX Nation will roll out part two of its hit docudrama series Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints beginning on Friday, April 4th and through the Easter season. Hosted, narrated and executive produced by celebrated Academy Award-winning filmmaker Martin Scorsese, the exclusive docudrama from Lionsgate Alternative Television explores the remarkable stories of men and women who risked everything to embody humanity's most noble and complex trait - faith. Throughout each episode, Scorsese journeys over 2,000 years of history focusing on these extraordinary figures and their extreme acts of kindness, selflessness, and sacrifice. With each episode focusing on a singular saint, the final three episodes of the season will spotlight Francis of Assisi, Moses the Black, and Mary Magdalene. The season first kicked off in November 2024 with Joan of Arc, John the Baptist, Sebastian, and Maximilian Kolbe.

Episode One: Francis of Assisi (April 4th)

At the beginning of the 13th century, a wealthy young man named Francis experiences firsthand the horrors of war when he's captured after a horrible defeat in battle. Scarred by the experience, Francis puts aside his old life of frivolity and searches for new meaning. He finds it in a command from Jesus himself - to "rebuild my church." Francis spends the rest of his life following that command, in the process starting a brotherhood, preaching on how to live like Christ, and even ending face-to-face with the Saracen leader Sultan Al-Kamil at the height of the Fifth Crusade.

Episode Two: Moses the Black (April 11th)

In 4th century Egypt, there is no bandit more bloodthirsty than a runaway slave named Moses. But during a sudden moment of faith, Moses decides to make the remarkable decision to cast aside his former life and give up violence. Searching for new meaning, Moses finds himself at a remote desert monastery, where he undergoes a tumultuous personal journey in pursuit of a life dedicated to Christ. Slowly Moses transforms into a leader in the community, until his decision to embrace non-violence comes to a head during a raid on his new home.

Episode Three: Mary Magdalene (April 18th)

Mary Magdalene, a Galilean woman, was suffering great spiritual affliction when she met a remarkable healer - Jesus of Nazareth. After Jesus cures her of seven demons, Mary becomes one of his closest followers. She travels with Jesus and supports him, witnessing the growth of his ministry, his miracles, and eventually his crucifixion. But her most important role is as the witness to Jesus's resurrection - where she is tasked with spreading the word to the world of Jesus's resurrection, overcoming doubters to become an important herald of early Christianity.
