Dimensional, dramatic, intimate, even surprising, <em>The Faithful<\/em> is about discovering and losing love, the challenges of marriage, the joys and heartbreak of children, confronting temptation, and finding faith. Episodes of <em>The Faithful<\/em> will be told through the lens of five of The Old Testament&#8217;s most legendary women: Sarah and her servant Hagar, Sarah&#8217;s great-niece Rebekah, and Rebekah&#8217;s nieces, sisters Leah and Rachel.<\/p>\n<p>In the premiere installment, Sarah (Driver) feels incomplete without the child that has been promised to her and her husband, Abraham (Donovan), by God. After braving isolation, famine, the ire of Pharaoh, and several more years of barrenness, she resorts to her own plan to bring a child into the world involving her maidservant Hagar (Karam) and Abraham. However, jealousy soon sets in after Hagar gives birth to Ishmael (from whose lineage the Islamic religion traces its roots). Then a miracle happens&#8230; And personal freedoms are at odds with long-held grievances and shattered love.<\/p>\n<p>Wholly owned by FOX Entertainment, <em>The Faithful<\/em> comes from FOX Entertainment Studios and is distributed worldwide by FOX Entertainment Global.
