ATLANTA – March 9, 2021 – UPtv, the television home for uplifting entertainment, announced this year’s “Easter Lives Here” programming slate filled with contemporary uplifting films, inspiring biblical stories and a music special. With over 20 titles, UPtv remains the only place to find the biggest collection of Easter programming that truly celebrates the season.
The “Easter Lives Here” event kicks off Palm Sunday with The Passion of the Christ and culminates with the World Broadcast Premiere of the theatrical film When We Last Spoke on Easter Sunday (April 4) at 7 p.m. ET.

Following The Passion of the Christ on Palm Sunday, UPtv will kick off season one of The Chosen, the largest crowdfunded media project of all time and first multi-season series about the life of Jesus Christ. Episodes will air nightly beginning that Sunday through Holy Thursday, April 1, with a full season marathon on Good Friday.
