The Chosen: Season One takes viewers on a journey through the life and ministry of Jesus Christ through the perspective of those around him.
Familiar Gospel characters like Mary Magdalene, Peter, and Matthew are given full lives and exciting contexts that balance faithful, biblical interpretation with a fresh lens of imagination.
The Chosen is the first media project in history to ever be released globally on it’s own app, which has been downloaded and streamed in over 150 countries worldwide.
“Two years ago, we embarked on a journey to create the first multi-season series about Jesus and broke the all-time crowdfunding record for a media project,” said Neal Harmon, CEO of VidAngel. “Seeing the investor support, the completed season one and reactions to the series from around the globe, we’ve come to realize this is the start of something very, very special.”
Filmmaker Dallas Jenkins hopes viewers will “pay it forward,” by donating so that others around the world can experience the series, which has so far been translated into 50 languages.
The creators hope “to make The Chosen bigger than the Game of Thrones billion-view record” and “the most-watched global series in history.”
