Genesis is a Brazilian telenovela produced by Record TV. It is Record TV's sixth adaptation of the Bible.

The telenovela has 221 episodes spanning seven phases covering the creation stories from Adam and Eve and ends with the Joseph of Egypt phase.

Through this choice, we see how the first leading characters, Adam and Eve, paid a high price, which extended to their children, Cain and Abel, and in a short time, it spread to all their succeeding generations, making them completely perverted and unjust. If it weren’t for Noah, there would be no one left to tell this story after the great flood that inundated the Earth.

However, with the change of generations, there was also a departure from the good customs and principles that God had found in Noah. One of his descendants, Nimrod, not satisfied with all the power and leadership he already had, decided to build the Tower of Babel to reach the heavens and not have to give satisfaction to anyone, including God. And that was how humanity was definitively divided. Peoples and nations of different languages were created.

God then chooses a man: Abraham, son of Terah, from Ur of the Chaldees. And through him and his wife Sarah, a separate generation is formed, far from the city, far from other peoples, and far from the many customs of the time. But why Abraham and Sarah? That is why the story of this pair of protagonists begins well before that call, in Ur of the Chaldees, through the saga of their father Terah.

Amongst the actors expected to appear in Genesis include Flávio Galvão and Igor Rickli play the central roles — God and Lucifer — throughout the story, with different casts in each of the seven phases. Actors such as Oscar Magrini, Cássia Linhares, Ângelo Paes Leme, Camila Rodrigues, Zé Carlos Machado, Adriana Garambone, Patrícia França, and Petrônio Gontijo in the distinct phases.

Genesis premieres on May 15th at 5 A.M. EAT (9 PM CT) on the Living Faith Network. Viewers outside of the United States can watch through this streaming link.
