Hollywood power couple Roma Downey and Mark Burnett have announced their plans to produce a new special television series, "Unveiled," on the NBC network this Spring.

According to Variety, Downey and Burnett have made a deal to produce "Unveiled," a one-hour special that will follow "fallen angels" as they attempt to restore their faith in God.

The special, slated for Spring 2015, is one of the multiple faith-themed television projects Downey and Burnett have embarked on in recent years. The couple is also behind the upcoming 12-episode miniseries "A.D. The Bible Continues," that is set to premiere Easter Sunday in April.

"A.D." picks up where the couple's other miniseries production, "The Bible," ended. "The Bible" premiered last year on Easter Sunday and received rave reviews and record breaking viewership.

Burnett recently expressed his excitement that "A.D." will premiere on Easter Sunday. Both Downey and Burnett are evangelical Christians.

"We couldn't make it any faster," Burnett explained at the Television Critic's Association Winter TV Press Tour 2015 recently. "We are people of deep faith and I believe God's hands are all over it. I believe it was always intended to [premiere] on Easter Sunday."

In the same interview, Downey added that she believes she and her husband have touched on the spiritual programming market that is craved by American viewers. "It's the perfect launch day, isn't it? We just know there's a hunger for this kind of material. People are hungry for stories of faith and 'A.D.,' we believe, will satiate that hunger."
