Fox is rounding out the cast of its Biblical event series “The Faithful.”
The show, which will air in three parts in 2026, has added the following actors to the third and final episode: Millie Brady (“The Last Kingdom,” “The Queen’s Gambit”) as Leah, Blu Hunt (“Sherlock & Daughter,” “The Originals”) as Rachel, James Purefoy (“Rome,” “The Veil”) as Laban, Will Stevens (“The Thursday Murder Club”) as Birham, and Taylor Napier (“The Wheel of Time,” “Hanna”) as Acar.
In addition, previously announced cast member Tom Payne will appear in the episode, once again in the role of Jacob. Previously announced cast members include Minnie Drive as Sarah, Jeffrey Donovan as Abraham, Natacha Karam as Hagar, Alexa Davalos as Rebekah, Tom Mison as Isaac, and Ben Robson as Esau.
Brady is repped by ITG, WME and Jackoway Austen. Hunt is repped by IAG, Death Wish Entertainment, and Yorn Levine Barnes. Purefoy is repped by CAA, Linden Entertainment, and Independent Talent in the UK. Stevens is repped by 42 and Luber Roklin Entertainment. Napier is repped by Echo Lake Entertainment and United Agents.
The official logline for “The Faithful” describes it as “a faithful dramatization of the Book of Genesis as 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. Dimensional, dramatic, intimate, even surprising, ‘The Faithful’ is about discovering and losing love, the challenges of marriage, the joys and heartbreak of children, confronting temptation, and finding faith.”
“The Faithful” is set to premiere on March 22, 2026 on Fox, with the final two-hour installment set to air on Easter Sunday. It will air throughout the Easter and Passover season on Fox and the next day on Hulu.
Rene Echevarria wrote the pilot and will serve as showrunner and executive producer on “The Faithful.” Carol Mendelsohn will executive produce under her first-look broadcast direct deal with Fox, with Julie Weitz also executive producing. The series is wholly owned by Fox Entertainment and produced by Fox Entertainment Studios. Fox Entertainment Global will distribute worldwide.
