“We are humbled by the overwhelming response from audiences to The Bible miniseries,” said co-executive producers, husband and wife team Roma Downey and Mark Burnett. “First, the show was number one on HISTORY, now it is number one on Blu-ray and DVD and has been number one in every country in which it aired. We feel incredibly blessed that we were able to bring this amazing love story to life on the screen. It is our hope that folks everywhere will continue to be touched by the message of the Bible and cherish these stories at home with their families for years to come. This is just the beginning.”
During its run, The Bible propelled HISTORY to number one in all of television from 8-10PM on Sunday nights with 95 million cumulative viewers watching the miniseries.
After being named the official app of THE BIBLE series, YouVersion’s Bible App had its biggest month ever, reaching 88 million total installs, breaking into the top 15 of all free apps in the iTunes App Store, and seeing 3.4 billion minutes of Bible engagement in the app.
