The Chosen is a television drama based on the life of Jesus Christ, created, directed and co-written by American filmmaker Dallas Jenkins. It is the first multi-season series about the life of Christ, and season one was the highest crowd-funded TV series or film project of all time.[1][2] The series' creators stated that they had hoped to distinguish the new series from previous portrayals of Jesus by crafting a multi-season, episode-based story.[3] The series portrays Jesus "through the eyes of those who met him".[4]
The series' success is attributed to artistic storytelling and cultural relevance, while staying true to the message of the gospels.[5] Writing in Film Threat, Alan Ng called the series "smart and insightful to a contemporary audience."[26]
Episode 8 from Season 1 earned two Movieguide Award nominations in 2020.[27]
The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 100 percent of critics have given Season 1 a positive review based on 8 reviews, with an average rating of 8.08/10.[28] Through August 2020, it had been viewed nearly 50 million times in 180 countries.[29] By the end of March 2021, the first season had been viewed more than 100 million times.[30]
"The Chosen" is the largest crowdfunded media project of all time.
The Best On-Screen Depiction of the Life Christ; Deeply Moving and Relatable
To cut straight to the point: The Chosen is far and away the best on-screen depiction of the life of Christ-either mini-series or movie. The writing and character development are exceptional. It's as captivating as The Passion, yet in so many ways more human and relatable. My family and I keep re-watching them just to get one more glimpse of the Son of Man. The miracles are deeply moving and will bring you to tears.
