Season 1 garnered nearly 50 million views, spanning more than 180 countries and 50 languages. The first season introduced Jesus and several of the disciples, showing the beginning of Christ’s ministry on earth. The second season, according to a VidAngel press release, will follow Jesus and His disciples, while also exploring Jesus’ notoriety among the people.
