Discovering the Divine: EWTN Studios and David Henrie Unveil 'Seeking Beauty'

On December 3, 2025, EWTN Studios, along with the talented actor, director, and producer David Henrie, announced an exciting new project: the docuseries 'Seeking Beauty'. Set to premiere on January 19, 2026, on EWTN+, this groundbreaking series aims to reshape the landscape of faith-based storytelling, inviting viewers on an exhilarating adventure through Italy, unraveling its divine treasures in culture, art, architecture, cuisine, and music.

Henrie, known for his noteworthy role as Justin Russo in Disney's 'Wizards of Waverly Place', takes on the mantle of a relatable explorer. He will engage with local Italian artists, experts, and everyday individuals, making the audience feel like a part of the journey. Henrie explains, “We flipped the format on its head; I’m not an expert. I’m inviting you to co-explore with me.” This refreshing approach turns the series into a captivating shared experience, prompting viewers to ponder the same questions that arise while absorbing Italy’s rich history and culture.

One of the compelling aspects of 'Seeking Beauty' is its diverse exploration of iconic Italian landmarks. Viewers will journey from the breathtaking heights of St. Peter's Basilica’s dome to the hidden workshops where restoration craftspeople breathe new life into the masterpieces of history. Each episode unfurls significant layers of sacred arts and scenery, looking deeper into the soul of Italy’s renowned beauty—from Byzantine mosaics to Renaissance fountains. Henrie quotes a memorable moment during one of the live restoration sessions: “When you think of great artists, they almost seem unreachable. Seeing their works up close, realizing these geniuses were human with struggles just like any of us, is astonishing.”

The docuseries champions the philosophy of “beauty with a capital B,” articulating that true beauty reflects the divine presence within our world. Henrie explains that the series seeks to fill a void in the media landscape by promoting content that connects people with deeper truths, thereby inviting families and individuals from various backgrounds to experience the sacred on a sensory level.

As Peter Gagnon, President of EWTN Studios articulated, “David Henrie's passion for storytelling aligns perfectly with EWTN's mission to create innovative Catholic media. Through 'Seeking Beauty', we aim not only to entertain but also to inspire transformation in every episode.”

The series promises an aesthetic feast for the eyes through its artistic presentations while igniting spiritual connections. Audiences can look forward to a season filled with delectable Italian cuisine, stunning artwork, and enriching cultural insights, as each installment unveils more of Italy's extraordinary blend of history, spirituality, and creativity.

For excited fans wishing to stay updated, exclusive trailers and behind-the-scenes content are available at seekingbeauty.show. The inaugural season set in Italy will stream on EWTN+, a dynamic digital platform curated for faith-inspired programming. Each episode will be released episodically starting from January 19, 2026, with a subsequent season capturing Spain currently in production.

In closing, EWTN is ushering in a new era in Catholic media for the digital age, investing in original films and documentaries while collaborating with inspiring talents within the Catholic community. The EWTN+ streaming service is designed to meet audiences wherever they are, providing the good, the true, and the beautiful at their fingertips and emphasizing the timeless truths that underpin faith.
