'The Chosen' Comes to Life in New Behind the Scenes Video

The Big Picture The Chosen has captivated audiences worldwide, reaching a staggering 200 million viewers and counting. The revolutionary historical drama, now heading into its fifth season, portrays the life of Jesus Christ and those who knew him, combining powerful storytelling with a deeply human perspective.

Actor Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus, attributes the show's resonance to a universal longing for spiritual truth. "People are desperate and hungry for the presence of God in their lives," Roumie said. "The human soul recognizes truth when it sees it." Despite its success, The Chosen has faced challenges. A contract dispute with distributor Angel Studios delayed the release of Season Four until June 2, 2024, ending their partnership. Jenkins expressed gratitude to Angel Studios while acknowledging the necessity of the contract's end for the show's future.

As The Chosen continues to air on The CW, fans can look forward to more heartfelt storytelling and a deeper exploration of the lives transformed by Jesus. Jenkins, though exhausted, finds immense joy in the journey. "I just want people to be focused on the stories of Jesus and to think maybe those folks who encountered him and had their lives changed are similar to me," he shared.
