From creation to the commandments, Man's greatest journey starts here.

In the Beginning is a two-part biblical miniseries that premiered on NBC in November 2000. Directed by Kevin Connor and starring Martin Landau and Jacqueline Bisset, the series dramatizes the foundational stories of the Old Testament. It follows humanity's earliest chapters—from creation through the lives of Adam, Noah, and Abraham—exploring themes of faith, obedience, and divine purpose. The miniseries brings sweeping scope and emotional depth to these ancient narratives, presenting them as intimate human stories rather than distant mythology. With strong performances from its lead cast, In the Beginning offers a reverent yet accessible interpretation of scripture's most iconic figures and moments.
