Whether you call this the “Christian Empire” or not, just be sure to call it a record hitter!

Bounce TV’s newest show: “Saints & Sinners” boasts a record 1.5 million unduplicated viewers across its two premiere airings. They’re not here to play!

The debut episode featured living legend Richard Lawson who plays Pastor Johnson and sets a pivotal story line for the one hour dramatic series.

The show flirts with hints of LGBT, greed, deceit, corruption and of course a sprinkle of celebrities. Kelly Price, Erica Campbell and David Banner have all been featured on the show, and now it’s Deitrick Haddon’s turn.  He will be featured during  Sunday night’s episode: Devil Was An Angel.
