Martin Scorsese will host, narrate and produce an eight-part docudrama. The series follows the lives of eight men and women who were beatified.

Filming for the 80-minute film is scheduled to begin this year. The template is “The Life of Jesus” by the Japanese author Endō Shūsaku. The first four episodes of “Martin Scorso Presents: The Saints” will air in November. The remaining four will run until May 2025.
