Martin Scorsese Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Martin Scorsese has been front and center in entertainment headlines this week with several major developments. Fox Nation has officially announced the highly anticipated return of his documentary series, Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints, for a second season premiering Sunday, November 16. This new season, according to PR Newswire, kicks off with an episode dedicated to Saint Patrick and will later feature stories of Saint Peter, Saint Thomas Becket, and Carlo Acutis, the recently canonized millennial dubbed “God’s Influencer.” Francesca Scorsese, Martin’s daughter, will make her directorial debut in the series with the finale, signaling a new chapter in the Scorsese family’s creative legacy.
The LA Times covered Scorsese’s viral popularity on TikTok thanks to playful videos orchestrated by his daughter. These clips have him guessing at modern slang or weighing in on movie bracket challenges, often with humorous results. The legendary director confessed he was “tricked” into participating, marveling at the unexpected global reach these moments have brought. The TikToks, refreshingly candid and shot at home, have further endeared Scorsese to a younger audience, reinforcing his multigenerational relevance.
On the public appearance front, Martin Scorsese is confirmed to attend the Sag Harbor Cinema Festival of Preservation on November 10. He’ll introduce and host a Q and A following the restored screening of John M. Stahl's classic Leave Her to Heaven, celebrating his ongoing commitment to film history and preservation. The Film Foundation, which he founded, continues to be central to this work and is a cornerstone of the festival’s programming.
Business activity wise, Scorsese recently lent his presence to the New York Comic Con, moderating a panel for the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, set to open next year in Los Angeles. As reported by The Pop Insider, he spoke passionately alongside fellow artists about the power of visual storytelling and the significance of bridging high and popular art, emphasizing universal human connection through narrative imagery.
In film news, tributes and screenings continue. The Tribeca Festival marked the 30th anniversary of Casino with a celebratory event featuring Scorsese and Robert De Niro together, underscoring his rich body of work and long-standing collaborations.
No major breaking headlines have emerged regarding Scorsese’s health or retirement plans, though in a recent LA Times interview, he commented on Quentin Tarantino’s intention to retire, saying he remains “curious about everything,” suggesting more creative pursuits ahead.
Of course, social media buzz has only grown from his playful TikTok videos and his daughter Francesca’s prominent role in his latest projects. For now, Martin Scorsese’s schedule remains vibrant with documentary work, festival appearances, and even a few candid home videos, all painting the portrait of a legendary filmmaker who refuses to slow down.
