Rueben's Ramblings

The new NBC event series A.D. The Bible Continues will debut at 9 PM on Easter Sunday, April 5.

The follow-up to the high-rated mini-series The Bible, this series will chronicle the aftermath of Jesus’ crucifixion as the tiny band of followers fight for survival while they try to spread the Word to the world. But they have hope and soon they have power: the amazing miracle of the resurrection and the arrival of the Holy Spirit upon them.

The cast includes Richard Coyle (Crossbones), Vincent Regan (Atlantis and The Royals), Adam Levy (Before I Go to Sleep), Joanne Whalley (The Borgias), James Callis (Battlestar Galactica), Reece Ritchie (Hercules), Kevin Doyle (Downton Abbey), Chipo Chung (Fortitude) and Greta Scacchi (Agatha Christie) [among others].

The event series comes from Mark Burnett and his actress wife Roma Downey (Touched By An Angel).
