Season 12, Episode 3: Athaliah
We’re venturing into the dark and wicked world of ancient royal politics. When Athaliah receives word that her son, the king, has been killed, she does what anyone would do and ascends the throne by murdering her entire family. Or so she thinks. This story twists and turns through secret hideaways, flash mob coronations, and surprise horses. Wickedness is everywhere, but can the line of David prevail?
