Moses may have successfully led his people out of Egypt, but it turns out that was only the beginning of his problems.
The Promised Land, the Biblical comedy that puts an Office-style spin on the story of Exodus, is preparing to return for Season 2, and this time, Moses has an even bigger management headache on his hands.
The mockumentary series follows Moses and the Hebrews after their escape from Egypt as they begin the famously long journey toward the promised land. Rather than focusing only on the epic moments of the story, the comedy imagines what daily life might have looked like during those 40 years in the wilderness.

Think The Office, except instead of Michael Scott trying to keep Dunder Mifflin running, Moses is attempting to keep an entire population moving through the desert.
Wasim No’Mani is back as Moses alongside returning cast members Shereen Khan as Miriam, Majed Sayess as Aaron, Artoun Nazareth as Joshua and Tryphena Wade as Zipporah.
And creator Mitch Hudson says life isn't exactly getting easier for their leader.

“Season two finds Moses grappling with a new level of grumbling as the people continue their journey to the promised land,” Hudson said.
Moses isn't the only character dealing with new problems. Miriam finds herself adjusting to newfound fame following her tabernacle performance, while Chisisi is attempting to help his Egyptian family locate him.
The series has also gotten a significant upgrade behind the scenes.
Season 2 was filmed in Morocco, giving the production a new backdrop as the characters venture further into the wilderness. Fans have also been given a glimpse of the larger production through a new behind-the-scenes video documenting the making of the upcoming episodes.
The expanded second season arrives after the show quietly built a sizable online following.
Following its October 2025 debut, Season 1 generated more than 5.5 million YouTube views in its first month. Since the original pilot arrived in 2024, The Promised Land says it has generated more than 150 million cumulative impressions and attracted one million followers across social media.
That momentum has now caught the attention of Lionsgate Television, which established a global distribution partnership with the series ahead of its next chapter.
While comparisons to The Office help explain the show's mockumentary format and awkward workplace-style humor, Hudson has stressed that the joke isn't the Bible itself.
“We are not making fun of the Bible,” he said. “The humor comes from the human experience; those awkward, challenging, and hilarious moments that make us who we are.”
