Moses mockumentary lands Lionsgate deal, season 2 in production

The Promised Land, a mockumentary series that reimagines the Book of Exodus as a workplace comedy, has secured a major distribution agreement and greenlit a second season. Created by writer-director Mitch Hudson, the show treats Moses as a reluctant middle manager leading the Israelites through the wilderness, employing the documentary format with interview segments, interpersonal drama, and camera looks. The first season, comprising six episodes, launched free on YouTube in 2025 and later became available through the Angel streaming platform, remaining free on the show's YouTube channel. The series features production veterans from The Chosen and follows familiar biblical narrative including Mount Sinai, the golden calf, and the Tabernacle's construction. Lionsgate has now become the official global distribution partner, a significant development for a project that began outside traditional Hollywood structures. Hudson announced the season two renewal at a live watch party for the season one finale. Production on the second season is currently underway in Morocco, representing a location shift from the first season's Utah filming. The show's Instagram announcement stated, "Our wandering is over," marking the partnership's confirmation.
