Changes Between The Bible Series and its Sequel

1.) Mary

In The Bible Series Mary (the mother of Jesus) was played by the director's wife, Roma Downey. In AD (The sequel to The Bible Series) she's played by Greta Scacchi.

2.) John becomes black.

In The Bible series John a close disciple of Jesus and brother of James (another close disciple) is a white man, but strangely in the sequel he is black. Ideally he would be Jewish (or at least middle-eastern.) It's kind of awkward if you think about because in The Bible Series they show him at the end of his life and yet in the sequel he's black. So he starts of white, then turns black but then by the ens of his life he's become white again...and lost his curly hair...strange.

He's John at the end of The Bible Series:

And here he is in AD:

3.) Mary Magdalene

The sequel really does change characters appearances: Take a look at Mary Magdalene in The Bible Series compared to in AD: The Bible Continues.
