The Catholic actor David Henrie, known for his career in film and television, has announced the premiere of the documentary series “Seeking Beauty”, produced by EWTN Studios, which will air in December 2025. The initiative, disseminated by National Catholic Register, seeks to show how beauty, in its multiple expressions, leads to the encounter with God and can become a path of evangelization in contemporary culture.
The series will take Henrie to visit emblematic places—especially in Italy—where he will dialogue with experts, contemplate sacred works of art, and propose to the viewer a reflection on beauty as the privileged language of the divine.
Beauty as a Path to God
Henrie emphasizes that beauty is not merely an aesthetic resource, but a reflection of the Creator and “the definitive language of the divine.” As he explains, there is a growing demand for content that does not impose ideologies, but rather elevates the human spirit by showing truth, goodness, and beauty.
The actor clarifies that he presents himself as a pilgrim in search, not as an expert. His proposal is to accompany the audience on a shared journey where the contemplation of the beautiful becomes an occasion for wonder and openness to the eternal.
Faith and Family Life as Foundations
A convert to Catholicism, Henrie assures that his faith has given him direction and inner structure. He affirms that without prayer, sacraments, and daily devotions like the Rosary, spiritual life recedes. That personal experience has driven him to orient his professional work toward projects that respect human dignity and strengthen Christian values.
Married and father of three children, he maintains that his artistic choices are measured by a clear criterion: characters and scripts with realistic humanity, but without falling into the degrading or offensive. His desire is to offer his family and the public a testimony of coherence between faith and profession.
With Seeking Beauty, he hopes to contribute to that cultural shift, showing that aesthetic excellence and doctrinal fidelity can go hand in hand. Beauty, he insists, should not be reduced to a superficial adornment, but become a bridge to the supernatural.
Challenges of an Ambitious Project
The new program poses significant challenges. High-quality production implies considerable costs, and it will depend on the sustained support of the audience and platforms like EWTN+. Likewise, the proposal will need to demonstrate that it is not just cultural entertainment, but an authentic audiovisual catechesis.
It will also be necessary to discern how to translate this message to different cultural contexts without diluting its Catholic roots. In a time marked by secularization and contempt for the transcendent, the project’s credibility will lie in its ability to maintain the balance between art and truth.
A Path of Evangelization
With Seeking Beauty, David Henrie aims to rescue beauty as a privileged path to rediscover God in a world that trivializes it. The actor sees in this series an opportunity to reactivate Christian sensitivity and demonstrate that the beautiful can be a powerful tool of evangelization.
If it achieves its purpose, the docuseries will not only enrich Catholic production, but also contribute to rekindling a culture that recognizes in beauty a universal language of the Creator.
