AD: The Bible Continues is an NBC miniseries recounting the birth of Christianity, based on parts of The Bible, which began airing in 2015. It begins with Jesus's death and resurrection as told in The Four Gospels and follows with the Acts of the Apostles.It is produced by Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, the same people behind the 2013 The Bible miniseries on The History Channel. Despite the subtitle, it's more of a Spiritual Successor than a straight Sequel Series due to having a completely different cast and including content already covered in the previous series.The series was cancelled after only one season, but Mark Burnett and Roma Downey have stated plans to revive the series on a new online channel sometime in late 2016 or early 2017. That seems to have descended into development hell. In any case, the series is currently on Netflix under the title AD: Kingdom and Empire.There was also an AD miniseries in 1985, a loose sequel to 1977's Jesus of Nazareth. | |

| AD: The Bible Continues / int_113480b7 | comment |
Canon Foreigner: Caiaphas's wife gets some scenes as well despite not appearing in the Bible, since according to the historian Josephus she existed (Caiaphas is identified as a son-in-law of the previous high priest Annas, who also appears in the Bible). Peter is given a daughter, though this is plausible as the Bible mentions his wife and mother-in-law. | |

Lady Macbeth | |
| AD: The Bible Continues / int_1da46897 | comment |
Lady Macbeth: Caiphas's wife Leah and Pilate's wife Claudia embody this in one way or another. Leah panders to most stereotypes of it (being the one to more often than not scheme and plot behind Caiaphas's back to help him discredit the Apostles), while Claudia seems to be a more benevolent one (trying her best to rein in Pilate's tyrannical actions against the Jews and politically maneuvering him between Tiberius and Caligula). | |

Adaptational Villainy: Conversely, Pilate is shown to be more ruthless and brutal than his portrayal in the gospels, which is more akin to what other ancient sources say about him. But even he is an Anti-Villain, especially compared to the likes of Caligula. | |

Some of My Best Friends Are X | |
| AD: The Bible Continues / int_22f5d1b9 | comment |
Some of My Best Friends Are X: Looking at it up-close, this is the essence of the relationship between the Tetrarch of Galillee (Herod), the High Priest (Caiaphas) and the Roman Governor of Judea (Pilate): as long as their policies are in sync, peace between Rome and Judea is possible. Deconstructed, however, by the reality that despite these nominal titles, it is still Rome who runs the show. This was Lampshaded by a confrontation between Claudia and Leah, where the former's indignation as a Roman noblewoman at being put upon by a Jewish noblewoman's critique of the current condition becomes the latter's justification of her discontent. | |

La Résistance: The Zealots appear, stalking Roman soldiers to stab them. But in the first episode this is averted when the Romans notice and get away. Later, apostles Matthew and Simon are mistaken for Zealots while they are sneaking into Jerusalem. They run away only to be accosted by real Zealots. | |

Out-Gambitted: Pilate's wife Claudia tried to extricate Pilate from his current post via currying good favor with Tiberius into appointing him into a good administrative position in Rome. Pilate's bad relationship with Caligula, however, backfires on the entire plan as Caligula murders Tiberius, assumes the title of Emperor, and revokes this appointment. | |

Artistic License – History: Emperor Tiberius and the future Emperor Caligula never visited Jerusalem. The show depicts Tiberius as going there to confront Pilate, but in real life Pilate was recalled back to Rome. Also, Caligula's rise to power came after Pilate was recalled, as did that whole incident with him trying to put an idol of himself in the Holy of Holies in the Temple at Jerusalem. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: While not entirely heroic due to his murders, the Zealot Boaz chooses to give himself up after realizing he will be further endangering the Christian flock and the Jewish people (who are being crucified as long as he is not found). Stephen the Proto-martyr is seen going out this way among the Christians. The way he brazenly goes out to preach and pick fights against the Sanhedrin's men, however, also poses the question as to whether he was just way over his depth. | |

The Chains of Commanding: Caiaphas, Pilate, Herod Antipas and Emperor Tiberius all show this in one form or another. Considering they face the perceived threat of the growing Christian community (with the power relations they have built up with each other, all in order to preserve the tenuous peace between Judea and Rome, fraying the edges), you can understand why they are stressed out of their wits. For the Christians, Peter gets hit hard with this, as he sacrifices his home life with his daughter Maya to lead them. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| AD: The Bible Continues / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Caiaphas and Pontius Pilate try to give off this impression. (Emphasis on try, however, considering most of their actions end up with them getting a more unsavory reputation against the downtrodden Jewish population, driving them more into the fold of the Apostles.) Rabbi Gamaliel is one for the Sanhedrin as he counsels leniency towards the Christians. | |

Shame If Something Happened | |
| AD: The Bible Continues / int_e5c64f3f | comment |
Shame If Something Happened: Leah's favorite tactic when convincing people who saw the Apostles' actions to remain silent. Saul also did this to Peter's daughter Maya, which is why it was difficult for Peter to accept his conversion at first. | |

The Mole | |
| AD: The Bible Continues / int_e70127 | comment |
The Mole: Mary Magdalene apparently chose to go undercover and join Pontius Pilate's household, in order to find out the political maneuverings amongst the Jewish and Roman officials which will endanger Christians. | |

One-Steve Limit | |
| AD: The Bible Continues / int_ee7a60e9 | comment |
One-Steve Limit: In the source material, several people have the same names. This is handled in the show by simply not calling attention to it much. So Simon Peter is just called Peter while Simon the Zealot is called Simon (and his possible link to actual Zealots are omitted, at least at first), etc. An exception is made for Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Jesus. | |

The Fundamentalist | |
| AD: The Bible Continues / int_f76842b1 | comment |
The Fundamentalist: Saul was a dyed-in-the-wool partisan of the Sanhedrin, with his venal opposition to what Jesus and the early Christian community represents terrifying to behold. This, of course, was virtually wiped out after his encounter in Damascus with Jesus. | |
