Seriella brings to the international market a slate focused on biblical stories, historical settings and characters facing personal and spiritual conflicts. At the center is The Queen of Persia, a 30×60’ drama set in ancient Persia and inspired by the story of Esther. The series follows Hadassah, a young Jewish woman who is taken to the king’s harem and eventually becomes Queen of Persia. As palace intrigues and a threat against her people unfold, Esther is forced to make difficult choices that will put both her faith and her courage to the test.
Paul: The Apostle (50×45’) tells the story of Saul of Tarsus, a fervent Pharisee whose life changes completely after an unexpected encounter. The series follows his transformation into Paul while bringing together persecution, intrigue, sacrifice and personal conflicts. Another historical drama, The Lord and the Handmaid (10×45’), takes place in first-century Rome, where Elisa, a young Christian woman living in slavery, becomes part of the household of Caius, a former Roman captain. Their story develops against the backdrop of the Roman Empire’s persecution of Christians and the inauguration of the Colosseum.
The catalogue also features The Life of Job (20×55’), based on the biblical Book of Job. The series follows a prosperous man whose faith is tested by a succession of devastating losses, expanding the original story with elements of romance, action and family drama. His struggle to understand suffering and maintain his faith ultimately becomes a story of hope and redemption.
Completing the five-title selection is Love in Ruins (35×45’), set in ancient Israel and centered on the prophet Hosea and the woman who becomes his wife. Their relationship develops in a society marked by moral and spiritual decline, while their personal journey explores forgiveness, loyalty, emotional healing and redemption. The story also draws a parallel between their relationship and the bond between God and the people of Israel.
With productions ranging from the royal intrigue of The Queen of Persia to the intimate conflicts of Love in Ruins, Seriella is bringing stories from biblical history to the international market through a distinctly dramatic approach. Romance, family relationships, political tension and questions of faith are woven into each production, giving the catalogue a broad narrative scope while keeping its religious foundations at the heart of the stories.
