Nat Geo preps factual-drama mini

National Geographic Channel in the US is pushing further into the factual-drama space, with a four-part miniseries about the founding of America.

Saints & Strangers (working title) is being developed by Sony Pictures Television with Little Ending Productions and is due to premiere in the fall.

The green light follows hot on the heels of Killing Jesus, which attracted 3.7 million viewers to its premiere to become Nat Geo’s most watched programme in history in March.

The latest project will focus on the men, women and children who sailed on the Mayflower to become the first American settlers.

Grant Scharbo, Gina Matthews, Teri Weinberg and Eric Overmyer are executive producers.
