Yes, the Bill O'Reilly book-based special to end all Bill O'Reilly book-based specials is too large for just one evening: the National Geographic Channel will air Killing Jesus (to be produced by Ridley Scott, as were partnerships Killing Lincoln and Killing Kennedy) over two nights and four hours, with a teleplay by Walon Green.
National Geographic went big on this year's upfront presentation after several years of smaller-scale one-on-ones with the press. As the network has grown under David Lyle since his appointment as CEO in 2011, it's had help from corporate siblings (new Fox broadcasting hit Cosmos re-airs on Mondays), but it's also managed to grow its own hits, notably last year's Brain Games, which earned both plaudits and legions of imitators before it even aired.
