Renowned filmmaker Martin Scorsese is gearing up to unveil his latest project, "Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints," a documentary series slated to debut on Fox Nation this November.

The series will kick off with the premiere of the first four episodes, with the remaining installments set to grace screens in 2025.

Delving into the lives of Christian saints, the series will span eight one-hour episodes, spotlighting iconic figures such as Joan of Arc, Francis of Assisi, John the Baptist, and Mary Magdalene.

Scorsese, celebrated for his cinematic masterpieces like “Taxi Driver” and “The Wolf of Wall Street,” has conveyed his profound affinity for the saintly narratives and his enthusiasm for this particular endeavor.

Furthermore, the filmmaker has disclosed plans for an 80-minute theatrical production centered on Jesus Christ, aiming to offer a narrative countering “the negative onus of what has been associated with organized religion.”
