Kristen Bell Had No Idea She Was Starring in Jesus Podcast Announced by Fox News
Fox News' 52-episode podcast uses 2010 audiobook recordings featuring Kristen Bell and over 100 actors to dramatize New Testament stories, debuting Nov. 30.
- On Nov. 30, Fox News Audio will debut the 52-episode Life of Jesus Podcast after licensing it from Gulfstream Studios as part of Fox Faith.
- A producer tied to the original project partnered with Gulfstream Studios to license The Truth and Life Dramatized Audio Bible , which used audio recorded 15 years ago, including Kristen Bell's Mary Magdalene performance.
- Kristen Bell is credited as Mary Magdalene among a star-studded cast, with Ainsley Earhardt introducing each episode in four installments, aligned with Christian observances.
- Bell only learned the day before the announcement, her team says she never approved repurposing, and Brian Cox and John Rhys-Davies were unaware of Fox News' involvement.
- Fox says the series will bring New Testament stories to life through immersive storytelling, the original audiobook remains on the Ignatius store with a foreword by Pope Benedict XVI, and Brian Cox’s prior Fox News criticism adds ironic contrast.
