The Exodus, but as a comedy?

That tension
is what drew us in.
The Promised Land is built on a simple idea: the people in the Bible were people.
James 5:17
We portray the saints of old in stained glass, but they sure had their stains.
From Abraham, to King David, to the Apostle Paul, we see that God is in the business of calling the most unexpected people for his greatest missions.
1 Corinthians 1:27–29
1 Samuel 16:7
Judges 6:15–16
Like in The Office or Parks and Rec, our characters talk to the camera, break the fourth wall, and let the audience in on those awkward, chaotic, and humorous moments.
We’re not mocking Scripture. We’re mocking ourselves as we try to live it out.
The Promised Land is a long way of saying, “Yeah, I’d probably complain too, wouldn’t I.”
Comedy creates connection, lowers defenses, and allows audiences to see themselves in the story.
And this show isn’t just for Bible scholars or Sunday school regulars.
We want people who’ve never heard these stories to maybe finally say, “Wait, this is actually good.”
So yes, we're making a comedy about Exodus.
But at its core, this is a story about how God works through unlikely people in unlikely ways.
Hebrews 11:32–34
If he could lead a nation with a shepherd on the run, a reluctant spokesman, and a sarcastic sister, maybe there’s hope for the rest of us too.
Romans 15:4
