The series will explore the lives of eight beatified men and women, including Joan of Arc, Francis of Assisi, Thomas Becket, Mary Magdalene, and Maximilian Kolbe, a Franciscan friar who volunteered to die in Auschwitz to spare the life of a family’s father.

The first four episodes of Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints will premiere in November. The remaining four will air in May 2025.

The Oscar winner, who briefly considered becoming a priest before turning to filmmaking, revealed to the Los Angeles Times in January that his next film would be an adaptation of Shusaku Endo’s novel “A Life of Jesus”.
