Martin Scorsese remains as busy and vital as ever, making headlines again this week with the premiere of Season Two of “Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints” on Fox Nation, which launched today, November 16. In the newest season, Scorsese hosts and narrates intimate docudramas on saints from Saint Patrick to the recently canonized Carlo Acutis. The director opened up in a promotional segment about his lifelong fascination with saintly lives—linking his boyhood dreams to this epic project, a true testament to his enduring creative energy. The Good Newsroom covered the launch, echoing just how significant Scorsese’s Catholic upbringing continues to be in his work and worldview.
Earlier this month, Scorsese made a striking public appearance at the premiere of "Die My Love" at the AMC Lincoln Square in New York on November 1. The red carpet appearance reminded fans and media alike that, even at 82, he continues to spotlight emerging cinematic voices as well as preserving his own legacy. Speaking of legacy, just days after, he attended the Sag Harbor Cinema Festival of Preservation out on Long Island, underscoring his lifelong advocacy for film restoration.
On the international front, Scorsese was the celebrated guest of honor at the Turin Cinema Museum in Italy as he opened a special retrospective exhibit on November 12. The museum marked 25 years of championing cinema, and Scorsese’s presence shone a spotlight on his global influence.

Critics and audiences have marveled at the series’ frank exploration of his complicated personal life, creative demons, and his indelible artistic mark, as reported by WUNC Public Radio.
Social media had a field day after Francesca Scorsese, his daughter, posted a viral TikTok in which she quizzed her father on harsh and hilarious Letterboxd reviews of his films. The Daily Dot and Parade both highlighted how the video showed Scorsese’s sharp wit and self-awareness, delighting younger audiences and leading to a mini-surge in online tributes. Twitter, Reddit, and even TikTok buzzed with admiration for his quick recall—and the charming generational interplay with his daughter.
