The Chosen wraps eight-year production of Gospel narrative

The Chosen, a series depicting the life of Jesus drawn from the Gospels, completed filming its seventh and final season in Midlothian, Texas in late April after eight years of production. Creator Dallas Jenkins, who moved his family to the area to oversee the shoot at Camp Hoblitzelle south of Dallas, announced the wrap at a Saturday party. The series began as a crowdfunded pilot with no distribution deal and has grown to reach more than 300 million viewers worldwide. Season 6, covering the Crucifixion, begins streaming on Prime Video November 15, with a theatrical version arriving March 12, 2027. Season 7 covers the Resurrection. Jenkins told reporters that eight years of filming the Gospels deepened his understanding of Jesus's intimacy with people and reinforced his belief in the importance of personal relationship with Christ. He reflected on 528 days of filming and expressed gratitude to God, his wife Amanda, his family, cast, crew, and the crowdfunding community that made the project possible outside studio financing. Jenkins indicated that The Chosen's cast and crew will take a break before potentially returning in a few years to film the Book of Acts. The team is developing other biblical projects, including a Joseph of Egypt miniseries, a Moses show, and an animated series called Chosen Adventures.
