From The Christian Science Monitor-
As summer winds down, the hottest trend on Hollywood’s fall schedule
appears to be religion. Faith-based entertainment is in the midst of a
comeback, what with NBC announcing its sequel to “The Bible,” the highly
rated cable mini-series; multiple upcoming movies about Moses; a new
film about Noah (starring Russell Crowe); and a Ridley Scott production
of Exodus.
And then there are the renewals of such ratings-busting shows as
GSN’s “The American Bible Challenge,” back for a third season, and TLC’s
announcement that not only will its franchise, “Breaking Amish: LA,”
return, but there will be a reunion event as well. Add to that list
ongoing reality shows such as “Preacher’s Daughters” and the list just
keeps growing.
“We are certainly in the midst of a rush of interest in faith-based shows,” says Martha Williamson, creator and producer of the CBS hit “Touched By An Angel,” which ran from 1994 to 2003.
