"Beyond A.D.," the first-ever NBC Entertainment digital talk show companion series, will launch Sunday, April 12, just one week following the premiere of "A.D. The Bible Continues" (9 p.m., Sunday, April 5).

" 'Beyond AD' is a wonderful way to continue the conversation that 'A.D.' has started," said "A.D. The Bible Continues" executive producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett. "We are excited that Jason is on board and we have many incredible guests lined up, as well as cast members who all will lend their voices to what will be a lively show."

"Beyond A.D." will cover both the historical and spiritual topics depicted in the broadcast and offer the chance for fans and audience members to interact.

Special guests include Burnett, Downey, series star Juan Pablo Di Pace, Rick Warren, Christine Caine, Samuel Rodriguez and Bob Goff, with musical performances by Christine D'Clario, All Sons & Daughters, Desperation Band and many more.

New installments of "Beyond A.D." will be available on nbc.com, cable, satellite, On Demand services, the NBC App and select NBC station websites and participating NBC station distribution channels, Sundays prior to that night's "A.D. The Bible Continues" broadcast.

David Goffin ("American Idol," "Rock Star") and Ben Beatie ("Survivor," "Rock Star") serve as executive producers.
