Their power threatened, the country’s religious and political leaders will go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus’ last.

New studio name, new old stories to tell

Nearly every time I encounter a viewer, they say something about wanting more Bible content from us. I always say we need to not get ahead of ourselves and remain focused, but now we’ve got a robust enough team to expand our efforts. I’m very excited to bring our ‘Chosen way’ to more great stories from the Bible, and it’s awesome that we get to first announce it to the fans who helped get us here long before we were popular.

— Dallas Jenkins.

We couldn’t have said it better, Dallas. Yeah, our team is pretty excited about our new studio name. But we’re beyond excited about the opportunity to connect you to even more amazing stories from the Bible.

When it became clear we were going to develop these stories, we knew we’d need a new name for our independent studio. Of course, we went back to our roots, focusing on the story of how The Chosen was born.

“It’s not our job to feed the 5,000,” Dallas often says, “only to provide the loaves and fish,” referencing the story of how Jesus used one little boy’s five loaves and two fish to feed the multitudes. 5&2 Studios is bringing that philosophy to each of these new projects.

 

Here comes BIG trouble…

 

The Chosen Adventures follows 9-year-old Abby in the Galilean city of Capernaum, circa 30 CE. Inquisitive young Abby is bursting at the seams with questions. Insatiably curious and imaginative, Abby feels like no one has the kind of answers she’s looking for. When she and her best friend, Joshua, meet Jesus, everything changes.

The 14-episode animated series features the voice talents of Emmy winner (and huge Chosen fan) Paul Walter Hauser, Emmy nominee Yvonne Orji (also a huge Chosen fan) and Grammy-nominated artist Jordin Sparks (yep, you guessed it, she’s also a huge Chosen fan) And cast members from The Chosen will be joining the fun, including Jonathan Roumie, Paras Patel, Liz Tabish, Noah James, Joey Vahedi, Yasmine Al-Bustami, Brandon Potter, and George H. Xanthis.

 

 

The Chosen goes wild

This one is gonna be fun. In each episode, survivalist and adventurer Bear Grylls ventures into the wild with different cast members (and Dallas!). They’ll talk about their personal stories and dive deeper into their own perspectives on The Chosen and the characters they portray. Make sure you check out Bear’s other shows, Running Wild with Bear Grylls (Emmy-nominated!), You vs. Wild, and Man vs. Wild. Crossing our fingers here, but can you imagine Judas (Luke Dimyan) parachuting into the wild?

The Chosen enters its final seasons

Dropping in 2025, the events of Holy Week are here in Season 5. You’ll be following Jesus and the apostles from the Triumphal Entry through the Last Supper. Seasons 6 and 7 will include special theatrical releases focusing on the crucifixion and resurrection.

Binge… Moses?

We’ll take a journey into ancient history — and the Old Testament — with two of the most iconic and dramatic stories ever told with a three-season season series featuring Moses and a limited series on the life of Joseph. Plus, we’ll pick up where Season 7 leaves off, telling the story of Paul and the apostles.

 

 

 

We also put out an officially official press release. You can read it here.

Season 4 premiered globally across all platforms on Sunday evening with 3.5 million streams representing an estimated 4.2 million viewers across households in the US over the first three days.

“The numbers are great, but what speaks to us far more are the comments and emotional response from the viewers. The crying emojis in the chat and the expressions of how much the ending impacted them were overwhelming,” said Dallas Jenkins, creator, producer, director, and writer of the international hit series The Chosen and director of the upcoming Lionsgate film The Best Christmas Pageant Ever to be released in theatres nationwide in November.

Episode two of Season 4 will be available for streaming Thursday night June 6 at 8:30 pm ET/5:30 pm PT.

During the first 72 hours after the release of Episode 1, the YouTube and app stream alone yielded more than 2.5 million total viewers.

The Chosen also netted nearly 100 percent streaming audience growth year-over-year. The livestream of the episode reached 111,500 live concurrent viewers at its peak on Sunday evening, June 2. In just 16 hours, 583,000 additional viewers watched the episode on YouTube with 4.4 million total impressions – nearly 100 percent streaming audience growth from the first 24 hours following the release of Season 3, Episode 1 in 2022.

Each episode of Season 4 will launch with global livestreams on social media and The Chosen app. Following each livestream, Season 4 episodes will be available exclusively in The Chosen app before coming to other viewing platforms soon – including The CW Network.

Following Thursday night’s release of Episode two of Season 4, ensuing episodes will be released on Sundays at 7 p.m. ET and Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. ET over the course of four weeks.

The season was first released in theaters in 31 territories around the globe, the series’ most successful theatrical run ever.

I’ve got bad news about Season 4’s release

Okay, let’s talk. I won’t sugarcoat it — I do have some unfortunate news about the Season 4 release. But I do ask for a little patience and some grace as I talk you through it, and I ask that you consider watching the whole video before you respond.

Thank you in advance for your patience.

Gaius: Good Guy or Bad Guy?

Other than some of the old Roman emperors themselves—we’re looking at you, Nero—does anyone more powerfully represent the political (and painful) oppression first-century Israel faced than a Roman soldier? So, it’s quite the feat The Chosen’s pulled off in getting a good number of you to care about one of them. Because c’mon—admit it: you’re three seasons in and standing at the doorstep of Season 4, and you’re all in on learning how the story’s going to unfold for a Roman soldier named Gaius. 

We bet you didn’t see that coming when you started the series. But here we are.   

The Man Behind the Soldier

To be fair, a big part of the draw to Gaius is the man who portrays him: Kirk B.R. Woller. Woller and Dallas have worked together for something like 25 years. In fact, Woller’s played a role in almost every project Dallas has done. And you can see why. Whether it’s in his work with The Chosen or in other projects that range from Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report to the The X-Files, he’s not afraid to add quirks and personality to whoever he’s portraying. He speaks a thousand words with an upward twitch at the corner of his mouth or by merely blinking his wide-eyed eyes. And he doesn’t shy away from weaving in emotive twists and turns that catch viewers by surprise and often even moves them in ways unexpected. Simply put: Woller’s become a fan favorite. For real—you should have heard the roar from the audience when he walked out on the stage at The Chosen Insiders Convention in October.    

But back to where we started: the character of Gaius has become a fan favorite, too. And while this is due in no small part to Woller’s work, it’s also because of the work put in by the writers of The Chosen

Slaying the Stereotype—and Elevating the Human 

It would have been easy to steer right into the stereotypes many folks have cultivated concerning Roman soldiers—to write every soldier, including Gaius, as some unthinkingly loyal brute for an evil empire, always scowling in the street and itching to swing a sword. But as Woller pointed out when discussing his character at ChosenCon, “Dallas hates stereotypes.” One of the chief goals for all of the writers at The Chosen has been to paint earthy portraits of Jesus, his followers, and the countless others who surrounded him (and them)—and to do so as they remain faithful to the historical accounts that have been handed down to us. And so from the first episode of Season 1, every character a viewer encounters has layer upon layer, because every character is a man or a woman or a child with a backstory filled with experiences that have shaped them for better or for worse (and oftentimes, both). And this includes the ones who were pretty skittish about Jesus. There’s surprising depth to even a Roman soldier, because they’re a human being long before they don the armor and take hold of some title. And that depth demands to be appreciated. 

Which leads us to Gaius…

When you first meet him, he’s in full gear, standing outside of a tax collection booth with the sort of sneer that can only come from contempt for the Jews. But within a handful of scenes, he’s so suddenly protective of a Jewish tax collector named Matthew that you’d think he was Matthew’s father. And just when you’re tempted to think Gaius is nothing more than the puppet of another character, Quintus, the snide and dangerous Roman magistrate in Capernaum and Praetor of Galilee, you spot Gaius turning a bit of a (legal) blind eye to some of what is unfolding with Jesus and his disciples. And there’s more. We’re three seasons in with the guy, and we’ve caught him jovially tying sailor knots with a Jewish fisherman and doling out marriage advice that just so happens to be quite good. 

Even still, The Chosen’s writers have never forgotten that Gaius is a Roman soldier. And so there are still scenes in which he shows flashes of rage, where he isn’t above lying, where he makes things harder for Jesus and his disciples than they need to be. And, well, for those of you who have watched, you know that there’s quite the twist to his story in Season 3. 

This rollercoaster of a journey with Gaius through the first three seasons The Chosen has left many a viewer asking, “Is Gaius a good guy or a bad guy?” Which is great. Because it means the writers of The Chosen have successfully done what they set out to do: they’ve introduced you to an intricate someone who is trying to figure out what on earth to do with Jesus, with the world around him, and even what to do about what’s unfolding in his own home. 

And in answer to that question—“Is Gaius a good guy or a bad guy”—he’s a human being.
