Summary
Comedies and dramas alike are finding the humanity and nuance in faith-based storylines, whether its reconciling concepts of self and sexuality in religion or questioning a long-standing ideology. How does a series navigate what role a characters faith will play in his or her story or the show as a whole? Jessica Goldberg (The Path), Brenda Lilly & Hollis Rich (State of Grace), Glen Mazzara (Damien), Jack Amiel (The Knick), and Tom Fontana (Oz) discuss navigating questions of God and church within their series and the role of religion in an ever-expanding landscape of content. Moderated by Sandra Gonzalez (Mashable). PLUS: The Preacher panel with series creator Sam Catlin (Breaking Bad) and stars Anatol Yusef, Ruth Negga, and Dominic Cooper.
Moderated by Eric Goldman (IGN).
