Last week, the third episode premiere telecasts of Saints & Sinners reached 1.3 million unduplicated viewers, tying the show’s series premiere for the second most-watched program in Bounce TV history. This despite going up against such major television events as The Passion on FOX and NCAA March Madness Basketball on TNT, TBS and TruTV.
Also last Sunday, March 20, Bounce TV’s world premiere of the music video for the show’s theme song “Sinners (Saved By Grace)” performed by Gospel superstar Deitrick Haddon and Big Boi from the enormously-popular hip hop duo Outkast averaged nearly 400,000 persons 2+ (8:55 p.m. ET.) The song is featured on the forthcoming Saints & Sinners: Original Soundtrack From Season 1, out tomorrow, March 25 via all digital retailers.
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.
