The BBC is experiencing a “come to Jesus” moment.

That’s not a reference to any self-reflection the corporation may have undergone in light of the many scandals it has faced over the past decade, but a new historical docuseries it has commissioned about the life of Jesus Christ.

Set to land on the BBC’s broadcast networks and streaming platform in 2027, the four-part docuseries will combine research, archaeology, technology and expert interviews to piece together the life of one of the most important figures in history. “Major thinkers” in Christianity, Judaism and Islam will also contribute, according to the press release.
