The study used a qualitative method with Greimas's narrative semiotic analysis approach. Greimas's narrative semiotic analysis analogizes narrative as meaning. The characters in the narration occupy an important position in a story. In addition, the relation of each character is very important in a story. This research was conducted through primary and secondary data collection techniques with the object of the research was the Netflix film series "Messiah" Season 1 Episode 1-10. The results showed that the schema of the actans is occupied by several characters at once with the subject being the figure of Al-Masih. The functional model portrays Al-Masih's character as a central figure throughout the film series. Meanwhile the pattern of breaking through the Scene-O-Gram model is divided into three acts.
