Fox Entertainment Studios made a massive statement at the London TV Screenings on Wednesday night, taking over the historic National Gallery to unveil its highly anticipated miniseries, The Faithful: Women of the Bible. Playing to a packed house of international buyers, producers, and global press, the event doubled as a powerful declaration of the studio’s renewed dominance in the global market.
Before introducing the evening’s centerpiece, Prentiss Fraser, President of Fox Entertainment Studios, outlined a year of aggressive growth and diversification. Emphasizing a platform-agnostic approach, Fraser detailed how the company is expanding its reach to meet audiences wherever they choose to watch.
Key business highlights from Fraser’s address included:
A Growing Footprint: Fox has expanded its sales infrastructure to seven offices across Europe, Asia, and North America, backed by a dedicated content and acquisitions team targeting both internal assets and third-party productions.
Digital and Experiential Investments: The studio has launched the Fox Creator Studio, invested in the vertical video platform Holy Water, established a video podcast business, and entered experiential storytelling with Chain.
A Powerful Ecosystem: The wider Fox portfolio now leverages Tubi (America’s number one AVOD platform), Fox One, Fox Nation, Fox First Run, and the core network.
Massive Network Momentum: New network series—including Memory of a Killer (starring Patrick Dempsey), Fear Factor (hosted by Johnny Knoxville), and Best Medicine (with Josh Charles)—each delivered over 12 million multi-platform views during their US premieres.
‘All this to say, Fox is back’, Fraser declared to the crowd. ‘The name, the lot, the legacy, the innovation, the entrepreneurial spirit, and the creative engine’.
A new lane for premium content: The Faithful
The night culminated in the presentation of The Faithful, an event miniseries that Fraser described as a «new lane» in Fox‘s growing slate of premium, primetime signature content.
Available to international buyers as either six 60-minute episodes or three 90-minute installments, the series will debut on the Fox network on Sunday, March 22, airing weekly through Easter Sunday. The project boasts a heavy-hitting creative team, developed by Executive Producer Carol Mendelsohn (CSI) and Executive Producer/Showrunner René Echevarria (Star Trek, Terra Nova, Carnival Row).
Taking the stage alongside the cast, Echevarria explained the delicate creative balance required to adapt one of the world’s most sacred texts for a modern audience.
‘The question for us wasn’t simply how we’re telling them, but how to illuminate them in a way that felt reverent and meaningful for today’s audience’, Echevarria explained. The creative solution was to explore the ‘space between the lines’ of scripture, shifting the narrative lens entirely to the women of the Bible.
‘By telling this story as we chose to through the eyes of the women—these brave and bold and deeply human and beautifully flawed women—I think we’ve done this’, he said, emphasizing the themes of faith, discovery, and love.
The series is anchored by award-winning actress Minnie Driver, who was introduced to the London crowd in her starring role as Sarah. Echevarria praised Driver’s performance, noting that her ‘depth, strength, and humanity brought a profound heart to this story’, elevating the project from a standard historical drama into something deeply moving and enduring.
