Freeman, 78, who has frequently shared his own opinions on the subject, will be the face of a series that explores one's quest to understand the divine, reported Variety.
"The story of God is one of the greatest mysteries and most important ideas in the world.
"For me, this is a personal and enduring quest to understand the divine, and I am humbled by the opportunity to take viewers along on this incredible journey", said the Oscar-winning actor.
The series will also include the actor's own take on the matter, as he will ponder and share his personal reflections from the back of a taxi leaving the Vatican or hiking through the Guatemalan jungle on the way to an abandoned Mayan temple.
