National Geographic Channel announced  the start of preproduction on Saints & Strangers (working title), the epic, untold story behind the founding of America and the men, women and children in search of a new life in an unexplored land. It will air in fall 2015. Grant Scharbo, Gina Matthews, Teri Weinberg and Eric Overmyer are executive producers.

Saints & Strangers is a story that goes beyond the familiar historical version of the founding of America, revealing the trials and tribulations of the first American settlers: 101 men, women and children who sailed on a chartered ship called the Mayflower for a place no one had ever seen. The personal struggles endured while working to establish their new way of life in America shaped the early DNA of our nation.
