Lionsgate’s ‘The Promised Land’ Is Getting Bigger for Season 2 — Here’s What Fans Can Expect

The Promised Land is preparing to return for Season 2 — and the faith-based comedy is heading into its next chapter with some serious momentum.

The series takes one of the world’s most familiar Biblical stories and approaches it from an unexpected direction. Imagine the awkward workplace humor and mockumentary style of The Office, except the overwhelmed manager is Moses and his difficult assignment is leading thousands of people through the wilderness for 40 years.

After finding an audience online, The Promised Land is expanding its reach through a global distribution partnership with Lionsgate Television, while Season 2 takes the story — and production — even further.

Wasim No’Mani returns as Moses, who has already managed to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt. Unfortunately for him, that may have been the easy part.

“Season two finds Moses grappling with a new level of grumbling as the people continue their journey to the promised land,” creator, showrunner and director Mitch Hudson said.

Other familiar faces will be back as well. Shereen Khan returns as Miriam, who is dealing with her newfound fame following last season’s tabernacle performance. Meanwhile, Chisisi, played by Dav Paolo Coretti, is leaving a trail behind in hopes his Egyptian family can find him.

The cast also includes Majed Sayess as Aaron, Artoun Nazareth as Joshua, Marvin Youssif as Caleb and Tryphena Wade as Zipporah.

This time around, the characters have a pretty impressive new backdrop.

Season 2 was filmed in Morocco, and fans can get an early glimpse at the production through a new behind-the-scenes video documenting the making of the upcoming season.

“Filming in Morocco added another level of authenticity to our show, and I believe our audience is going to really enjoy where we are headed,” Hudson explained.

There is already evidence that plenty of people are ready to follow along.

Season 1 generated more than 5.5 million YouTube views during its first month following its October 2025 release. Since the original pilot premiered in 2024, the series has generated more than 150 million cumulative impressions, one million followers and 4.4 million content interactions across social platforms.

Producer Richie Johns believes those numbers demonstrated there was an audience hungry for this type of entertainment.

“Season One wasn’t our proof of concept, it was our ‘proof of audience,’” Johns said.

The show's creators have also been careful about where they find the laughs.

“We are not making fun of the Bible,” Hudson said. “The humor comes from the human experience.”

With Lionsgate helping expand the show's reach and a new season shot in Morocco, The Promised Land is getting ready to see just how much bigger that audience can become when Season 2 arrives this fall.
