Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints Season 1 is a faith-oriented docudrama series that premiered on FOX Nation beginning November 17, 2024, and continued through April–May 2025. Hosted and narrated by Martin Scorsese, the eight episodes chronicle the remarkable lives of Christian saints including John the Baptist, Sebastian, Maximilian Kolbe, Francis of Assisi, Moses the Black, Mary Magdalene, Thomas Becket and Joan of Arc exploring their contexts, hardships, dramatic conversions and lasting influence. With a mix of dramatized reenactments, historical analysis and theological discussion, the series travels over two millennia of history to show how these figures embodied self-sacrifice, faith and resilience. Scorsese’s narration adds gravitas, while interviews with scholars and theologians provide deeper insight into each saint’s life and legacy.

Despite being produced and narrated by Martin Scorsese a filmmaker best known for violent crime epics like Goodfellas, The Wolf of Wall Street and Taxi Driver. This series focuses on religious figures and spiritual narratives rather than his trademark themes of crime and moral ambiguity, revealing a lesser-known side of Scorsese deeply interested in faith and holiness.
