The producers are the same team that delivered the hit series “The Bible” on the History channel.
The new show is titled “Messiah.” Filming is slated to take place in Los Angeles. The producers are still waiting for the go-ahead from Netflix to begin pre-production work. The plot will focus on a man in the modern era, who first appears in the Middle East and starts performing miracles.
As popular shows like “The X-Files” and “Bones” are leaving Netflix, the streaming service will have to fill the gap quickly. The show made famous by the characters Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) has aired 10 seasons, and the show starring David Boreanaz (Seeley Booth) is currently airing season 12.
