First Photos Arrive from NBC’s Biblical Miniseries ‘A.D.’

The biblical miniseries A.D., coming to NBC in 2015, has released the first two photos from the production. The photos show Juan Pablo di Pace in character as Jesus, Babou Ceesay as John, Greta Scacchi as Mother Mary, and Chipo Chung as Mary Magdalene. The miniseries is being produced by Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, the team behind The Bible miniseries which was a ratings blockbuster on History.

A.D. will premiere on April 5, 2015.

The Plot:

The 12-hour miniseries A.D. will look at the lives that were instantly altered following the death of Christ. His disciples, mother Mary and key political religious leaders at the time saw their world turned upside down and their lives forever altered. Beginning at that fateful moment of the Crucifixion and the Resurrection, part two of the greatest story ever told will focus on the disciples who had to go forward and disseminate the teachings of Christ to a world dominated by political unrest and the start of a whole new religion that would dramatically reshape the history of the world.
