Fox Developing Series Based On Jesus’ Early Life

Fox is reportedly developing a series based on the life of Jesus from age 13 to 30.

The show, called “Nazareth”, is one of a series of Biblical related programs that are being placed into production after the success of the “The Bible” miniseries and the movie releases “Son of God”, “God’s Not Dead” and “Heaven Is For Real.”

David Franzoni, who helped produce “Gladiator and Amistad”, is developing “Nazareth”.  The show is the first in a production deal that Landscape Entertainment signed with Fox to create and develop event programming.

Lifetime Network has been developing a series called “The One” about Jesus growing up and realizing he is the Son of God.  NBC is in production for “A.D.: Beyond the Bible”, a sequel to the Bible miniseries.  National Geographic is working on “Killing Jesus”, a mini-series based on the book by Bill O’Reilly.

Deadspin is reporting that WGN America is considering production of a 10-part mini-series based on the Ten Commandments.
