The show was also a hot topic online with #SaintsAndSinners trending nationally on Twitter and Facebook during the Sunday premiere, alongside The Walking Dead, Downton Abbey and the Democratic Presidential Debate.
Coming off the heels of the huge, record-setting premiere, Saints & Sinners returns with another powerful new episode this Sunday, March 13 at 9pm ET/8pm CT.
For viewers wanting to catch-up or for those who want to watch the explosive premiere again, Bounce TV will encore the first episode of Saints & Sinners this Friday, March 11 at 9:00 p.m. and Sunday, March 13 at 12:00 Noon (all times Eastern).
In Saints & Sinners, Greater Hope Baptist Church is the heartbeat of Cypress, GA, a large southern town outside Atlanta. As times changed and Cypress grew, so did Greater Hope’s influence. With the return of a prodigal son and a shocking crime that rattles the core of the community, long-kept secrets, deceit, jealousy and compromising sexual affairs threaten to demolish the heart of the church and shatter the lives of those within it. For it seems at Greater Hope, only God and the devil can tell the difference between a saint and a sinner.
Saints & Sinners stars Vanessa Bell Calloway (Shameless, Coming to America); Christian Keyes (Mistresses, Let’s Stay Together); Keith Robinson (Dreamgirls, This Christmas); Clifton Powell (Ray, Murder in the First); Gloria Reuben (Mr. Robot, ER); J.D. Williams (The Wire, The Good Wife); Jasmine Burke (The Vampire Diaries, Army Wives); Afemo Omilami (Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Forrest Gump) and Richard Lawson (Numb3rs, Wag the Dog).
Bounce TV is the only emerging broadcast network producing original scripted series. The network’s three originally-produced sitcoms Mann & Wife (First Season), In The Cut (First Season) and Family Time (Third Season) all set network records for viewership in 2015.
