The Promised Land, a comedy series following Moses and the Israelites through the wilderness, will bring its first season to Prime Video on November 15, according to ChurchLeaders.
Created, written and directed by Mitch Hudson, an assistant director on The Chosen, the series combines Old Testament storytelling with the awkward exchanges and everyday frustrations familiar to fans of workplace comedies such as The Office.
After escaping Egypt, the Israelites face the challenges of life together in the wilderness. Moses must navigate their complaints, conflicting personalities and practical needs while carrying the responsibility of leadership. Disputes over manna and the difficulty of washing clothes become opportunities to explore the human side of a familiar biblical story.
The move to Prime Video follows the show's debut on YouTube. ChurchLeaders reports that each episode has surpassed one million views, while the series has generated more than 150 million impressions since its pilot.
Wasim No'Mani, whose credits include The Chosen and SEAL Team, stars as Moses. Shereen Khan plays Miriam, Majed Sayess portrays Aaron, Tryphena Wade appears as Zipporah, and Artoun Nazareth plays Joshua. The cast also includes Dav Paolo Coretti as Chisisi and Brad Culver as Korah.
Hudson developed the concept while working on The Chosen, imagining the comic possibilities of a leader managing an often dissatisfied community. The resulting series draws humour from the Israelites' relationships and daily struggles while seeking to maintain reverence for Scripture.
For Christian viewers, the premise offers a fresh way to consider the personalities behind the Exodus narrative. Freedom from Egypt begins a demanding communal journey, with Moses learning that leading people involves far more than showing them which direction to walk.
Season One of The Promised Land arrives on Prime Video November 15.
