NBC has canceled A.D. The Bible Continues after just one season, Deadline reports.

The miniseries, created by Roma Downey and Mark Burnett, was a follow-up to their record-breaking miniseries The Bible, and chronicled the early days of modern Christianity.

A.D., which premiered on Easter, was positioned as an event series at NBC, but Downey, Burnett and the network had indicated that subsequent seasons were part of the plan. It's possible that the show will continue on another platform

This is actually a blessing. Hollyweird dramatizations of the Bible are always beneath the dignity of that Book, and do more damage than good.

Not surprised.

It was canceled because it got very popular bigtime.

NBC brass equate the Bible with the Confederate Flag and wishes both to be destroyed.

NBC may put it on one of their niche channels...I think they own most of those now...or a lot of them.

As for this show, watched some of it....couldn’t get into it. I would never judge by one episode.....

But the problem is, hard to fill in the gaps that the Bible leaves off.

The only shocking thing about this, is that there was a season one.

....Or it might go to the channel that “The Bible” was broadcasted on.

Comcast could put it on NBC Universal’s USA Network—and would still get good ratings since USA Network is on the basic tier of most cable systems and on satellite TV.

The article goes on to say that Roma Downey and her husband may place it on a new Christian TV channel they are going to start.

Where that is gong to end up in a 1200 channel universe, who knows?

NBC will probably replace it with some lame show about a girl who can talk to ghosts.

Wait a minute...

Yes, because network executives hate high ratings and profits more than anything else.

It's getting so one could wonder if NBC doesn't what Christian, traditional seekers of the truth and believers in freedom of speech and expression as part of their audience.
