The Chosen is heading to broadcast television. It will air on the CW Network beginning Sunday, July 16 at 8 p.m. Eastern and will continue through the fall. The CW will air the first three seasons, with the Season 3 finale airing on Christmas Eve. (Season 4 is currently in production.)
The Chosen, a popular television series about Jesus, is set to pass Baywatch in a significant international distribution category.
A well-known actor in The Chosen is opening up about his faith journey, saying he had never had a personal encounter with Jesus until he took the role in the Bible-based hit series and was influenced by Christians behind the scenes.
The creator and director of the hit Bible-based series The Chosen is responding to a social media controversy about an LGBT Pride flag spotted on set, saying the company employs Christians and non-Christians alike who are excellent at their craft.
Chick-fil-A made news again this week—complete with calls to boycott the fast-food chain—in response to ire over the company’s stance on diversity, equity, and inclusivity (DEI). Of course, Chick-fil-A is no stranger to such controversy, but this time it came from those who have typically been on the other side of the outrage. The company’s DEI policy garnered attention on Twitter and quickly went viral from those who assumed that it pushes similar “woke” policies to those often denounced by conservatives. Erick McReynolds, the company’s vice president of DEI, was a focal point of the controversy, though more for the existence of his position than for anything he said or did.
What’s most peculiar about the recent outrage, however, is that there is nothing new about Chick-fil-A’s stance. Their DEI policies date back to 2020 and do little more than formalize their long-held position that they do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, sexuality, physical condition, or a host of other descriptors. That approach is good for business, good for the gospel, and also what every company is required by law to do when it comes to hiring staff and serving customers.
The creator and director of The Chosen, Dallas Jenkins, says the company behind the hit television series likely will produce other stories based on the Bible when the final season ends.
The worldwide distribution rights for the hit Christian television series The Chosen have been acquired by Lionsgate Television.
The Bible-based global hit television series that has been viewed by 100 million people worldwide is now available in hundreds of America’s prisons thanks to a new partnership.
Filming began this week on Season 4 of The Chosen, with cast and crew gathering at the series' new home near Midlothian, Texas, to continue the Bible-based story that has become a worldwide hit.
The 30th Annual Movieguide Awards recognized the show The Chosen as one of the “most uplifting movies” of the year.
