Sequel to popular "Bible" miniseries debuting on NBC

Netflix premieres its first Marvel series, "Daredevil"

CNN  — 

In 2013, “The Bible” broke ratings records on the History Channel, so of course, a sequel was ordered up – and this one is on NBC.

The new miniseries from Mark Burnett and Roma Downey is one of six shows to watch this week.

1. “A.D. The Bible Continues,” 9 p.m. ET Sunday, NBC

Just in time for Easter, the peacock network debuts the “Bible” sequel, picking up with Jesus’ resurrection and following the early days of Christianity.

NBC scored on picking up the follow-up to the smash cable hit, starring Juan Pablo Di Pace as Jesus and Greta Scacchi as Mary (replacing Downey in the role).

The full miniseries will run for 12 weeks, so consider it a spring revival.

2. “Mad Men,” 9 p.m. Sunday, AMC

We’ve arrived at the end, “Mad Men” fans. This is the first of the last several episodes, where we’ll learn the fate of Don Draper and the cast of characters.

4. “Louie,” 10:30 Thursday, FX
