Exploring the compelling lives of Christian saints, docuseries “The Saints” enraptured viewers when it debuted last year. Narrated and exec produced by legendary “Taxi Driver” director Martin Scorsese, it’s back, and serving up another litany of dramatic reenactments, among them the story of Saint Peter, Jesus’ first disciple.
Read on for everything to know about how to watch “The Saints” season 2 online and from anywhere with a VPN.
Scorsese’s work has long shown an interest in religious themes, most overtly (and controversially) his 1988 movie The Last Temptation of Christ. But his ambition to produce a TV project about the lives of the saints went unrealized for decades, until Fox streaming service Fox Nation greenlit the series in 2024.
Created by Matty Leshem and exec produced by Scorsese, each episode dramatizes the trials and tribulations of a different Christian figure, followed by an enlightening discussion with scholars and theologians.
Sumptuously shot, season 1 featured Joan of Arc and Polish priest Maximilian Kolbe among others. Season 2 promises similarly fascinating instances of faith and fortitude across the centuries. We’ll learn about Saint Peter (64 A.D.), Thomas Becket (brutally murdered by Henry II’s knights during the Middle Ages), in addition to computer-savvy teen Carlo Acutis, referred to as “God’s influencer” and canonised just this September.

‘The Saints’ season 2 episode descriptions
Episode 1: “Patrick was born in Roman Britannia in the late fourth century AD. As a young man he was kidnapped by pirates and enslaved in what was then called Hibernia (present-day Ireland). It was there, as a shepherd, that Patrick discovered his true Christian faith, began praying day and night, and tending to hungry forest dwellers. After six years as a slave, Patrick heard a voice calling him home. A ship appeared, and Patrick returned to Britannia. He became a priest, but he then had a vision of the forest people begging him to “come walk among them again.” He did return, baptized thousands, founded churches, and became the patron saint of Ireland.”
Episode 2: “Simeon was a humble fisherman—until a carpenter boarded his boat, called him back out into the Sea of Galilee, and transformed his life. That man was Jesus of Nazareth. Simeon would now be known as Peter—the rock. On the night of Jesus’ arrest, Peter fulfills Jesus’ prophecy: he denies the man he swore to follow. Days after the resurrection, on the shores of Galilee, Jesus offers him redemption. Peter emerges as a leader of the early Church, spreading Christ’s message all the way to Rome, where Emperor Nero orders his crucifixion. Peter was crucified upside down, believing he was unworthy to die in the same manner as Jesus.”
Episode 3: “Born to a London merchant in 1120, Thomas Becket defied the boundaries of his birth. He rose to become Chancellor to King Henry II—wielding royal power with cunning. Together he and Henry ruled in lockstep, until the king made the fatal mistake of appointing Becket as Archbishop of Canterbury. Becket had a spiritual awakening, chose devotion to God over duty to the Crown, and became a threat to Henry. One night in 1170, in Canterbury Cathedral, four knights burst into the church and murdered Becket. His murder sent tremors through Christendom, forcing even the King to kneel in penance.”
Episode 4: “Raised in Milan in the 1990s, Carlo Acutis felt a deep spiritual connection within. His fascination with the Eucharist grew into an unwavering mission. Using his advanced programming skills, Carlo harnessed the power of the Internet to spread the word of Christ through the documentation of Eucharistic miracles, earning him a reputation as “God’s Influencer.” When diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 15, Carlo faced his illness with the calm resolve of someone far beyond his years. As the cancer spread rapidly, Carlo found peace in his faith and continued to inspire those around him. He was canonized in September 2025, becoming the first “millennial saint.””
