Dennis Quaid is hosting a new nonfiction series on the History Channel examining the facts behind some of history’s greatest “holy marvels,” including the Ark of the Covenant, Noah’s Ark, Jesus’ crown of thorns and more.

Premiering June 3 at 10 p.m., “Holy Marvels with Dennis Quaid” explores some of the most sacred and holy relics in history. From the Ark of the Covenant to the Philosopher’s Stone, the 70-year-old actor takes viewers on a journey through the fascinating stories behind these objects of faith, immortality and divine intervention. The eight-episode series is hosted, narrated and executive produced by Quaid,

“I was drawn to this project not just because of its intriguing concept but also the way it deeply connects the universal human experience of faith and belief systems,” said Quaid. “This series is a unique opportunity for me to reinvest my religious interests and investigate the rich history of these holy marvels and the importance they hold for people around the globe.”

The series, produced by the A+E Factual Studios group, combines immersive storytelling with recreations, archival footage and expert interviews. Viewers will gain insights from historians, authors and professors of archeology and religious studies who shed light on the impact of these revered objects across various cultures and religions.

Quaid, an Emmy-nominated actor, hopes to illuminate these objects’ profound cultural and spiritual significance with the new series.

“It’s been said that seeing is believing,” the actor said in a promo for the series. “So it makes sense that when some of life’s biggest questions are believed to have left behind physical clues, we want to go see for ourselves. Noah’s Ark, the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant, join me as we explore the facts behind some of history’s greatest leaps of faith.”

Eli Lehrer, executive vice president and head of programming for The History Channel, said Quaid brings “a unique combination of passion for the material and storytelling to the series.”

“His connection to the subject matter adds a layer of depth and intrigue to these thought-provoking narratives of diverse spiritual practices and captivating religious experiences that will resonate with viewers,” he said.

Quaid recently released a gospel album, Fallen: A Gospel Record for Sinners. He also starred in the inspirational sports drama “The Long Game.”

Later this year, Quaid will appear in “Reagan,” the first full-length feature on the 40th president of the United States.

The actor, who has been open about his own path to redemption, previously told CP he’s seeing a “hunger” for positive and uplifting content.
