Testament — Season 1
WAIT FOR THE GIFT MY FATHER PROMISED
About this season
The series is a modern-day reimagining of the Book of Acts that follows the early followers of Jesus in an alternate, modern era. A resurrection sparks a new movement that turns the world upside down, spreading hope amid chaos. As the followers risk everything to preach the good news, the Temple races to silence them before the oppressive Imperium regime retaliates. But public miracles, unburied secrets, and fractured loyalties force both sides to confront the true cost of their choices.
