Last Updated on April 3, 2026 by Daily News Staff
A Faith-Focused Return Just in Time for Easter
Streaming platform FOX Nation is bringing back its acclaimed docudrama series Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saintswith a special extended episode titled “Mary,” premiering March 27, 2026, ahead of the Easter holiday.
The series is hosted, narrated, and executive produced by legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese, whose personal storytelling style adds emotional depth and historical reflection to the project.
A Personal and Spiritual Exploration
The upcoming “Mary” episode begins with Scorsese reflecting on his childhood in New York’s Little Italy, offering viewers a personal lens into the meaning of Easter. From there, the episode transitions into a dramatized exploration of Mary, the mother of Jesus, one of the most revered figures in Christianity.
The extended format allows for a deeper narrative arc, following Mary’s journey from divine selection to her enduring faith through exile, sacrifice, and the profound sorrow surrounding the end of Jesus’ life.
What Makes the “Mary” Episode Stand Out
Unlike traditional retellings, this episode emphasizes:
- Emotional storytelling: A humanized portrayal of Mary’s strength and resilience
- Spiritual depth: A focus on faith, devotion, and sacrifice
- Cinematic presentation: High production values guided by Scorsese’s creative vision
The result is a docudrama that blends historical narrative with personal reflection—an approach that has helped the series resonate with audiences seeking meaningful, faith-based content.

The series is created and directed by Matti Leshem and written by Kent Jones, with Scorsese developing the project for Lionsgate Alternative Television.
Additional executive producers include:
- Julie Yorn
- Craig Piligian
- Rick Yorn
- Lisa Frechette
- Christopher Donnelly
The series is produced in collaboration with major production companies including Lionsgate Alternative Televisionand Sikelia Productions, and distributed globally by FOX Entertainment Global.
