NBC has made its plans for The Bible follow-up official, picking up 12-hour miniseries A.D.
The follow-up to History's The Bible hails from creators Mark Burnett and Roma Downey and will likely air in spring 2015.
NBC landed the project in July.
A.D.: Beyond the Bible, from Burnett and wife Downey, begins in the days after Jesus' betrayal and death. With NBC partnering to bring the follow-up to broadcast, the network is hoping to duplicate the success History Channel had with The Bible. The 10-parter debuted to 13.1 million viewers March 3, before wrapping up Easter Sunday with 11.7 million.
