Faith-Based Mockumentary ‘The Promised Land’ Moves From YouTube to Prime Video in the US | Exclusive

Faith-based mockumentary series "The Promised Land" will transition from YouTube to Prime Video in the United States, according to an exclusive report. The show, which debuted on YouTube in July 2024, will begin streaming on Prime Video on November 15, alongside other faith-based series "House of David" and "The Chosen." The launch marks a strategic move by the creators to broaden "The Promised Land's" audience beyond YouTube's platform.

Season 2 of "The Promised Land" is currently in development, with no official release date announced yet. However, the show's creators are eager to keep the momentum going, having already achieved over 1 million views per episode and more than 150 million cumulative impressions since the pilot. The mockumentary-style series takes a comedic approach to the events of the Old Testament, focusing on Moses and the Hebrews adjusting to their newfound freedom after escaping Egypt, dealing with the challenges and biblical oddities that come with it.

The series was inspired by Mitch Hudson, the show's creator, writer, and director, who worked as an assistant director on "The Chosen." The official synopsis describes "The Promised Land" as Moses and the Hebrews adjusting to their new life post-Exodus, with the group facing doubts, conflicts, and bizarre situations, from the manna supply to laundry in a dirty river.

The cast includes Wasim No'Mani ("The Chosen") as Moses, Shereen Khan ("The Studio") as Miriam, and Majed Sayess ("FBI") as Aaron, among others. Producer Richie Johns ("Still Hope," "On a Wing and a Prayer") is also attached to the project.
