“The Chosen Adventures” Premiere is Set

We’ve been teasing it for a while, and now we’re excited to finally announce that The Chosen Adventures premieres October 17 on Prime Video. The best part? All 14 episodes release the same day—so you’d better have your comfy pants and pita chips ready.

This Prime Video Original Series takes us back to the world of The Chosen, but this time, things look a bit different: Everyone’s animated. There’s a talking sheep named Sheep (Well done, writers). And the stories are told through the eyes of two nine-year-olds, Abby and Joshua.

You first saw these adorable troublemakers back in Season 1, Episode Three, when they met and learned from Jesus. Now, we get to follow them—and their animal sidekicks—as they take on new adventures, befriend a wannabe centurion-in-training, and absorb even more powerful lessons from the world’s greatest Teacher.

After the episodes premiere on Prime Video, we’ll also be releasing them on YouTube starting later this year. And if you just can’t wait to dive into these adventures, we’ve got good news. Dallas shared an exclusive new clip in the livestream below:

The Chosen: Last Supper

The table is set. The people of Israel welcome Jesus as king while his disciples anticipate his crowning. But—instead of confronting Rome—he turns the tables on the Jewish religious festival. Their power threatened, the country’s religious and political leaders will go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus’ last.

BY THE NUMBERS: ‘THE CHOSEN’ REACHES #1 IN APPLE TV APP STORE AS SEASON 4 DEBUTS

DALLAS, June 6, 2024The Chosen app climbed to the #1 overall app in the Apple TV App Store and to the #2 free app in the mobile iOS App Store, as Season 4 Episode 1 was released on Sunday evening exclusively in the app via livestream and VOD.

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. For context, in 2023, the HBO production “The Last of Us” was the most watched TV show season premiere on streaming services in the U.S., with 2.9 million viewers in the first four days and 5.2 million viewers in the first 15 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.

Viewers can watch the series for free in The Chosen app, available for download on streaming players or devices including Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, iOS, and Android.

Threatened by the reality of Jesus’ growing influence, religious leaders do the unthinkable—ally with their Roman oppressors.

Happy (Disruptive) Thanksgiving!

We know that conversation around the table at Thanksgiving is usually reserved for whatever brings peace and goodwill, like, say, politics. But this Thanksgiving, why not stir things up a bit? Get a little disruptive. It’s not all that hard. All you have to do is talk about a choice scene from The Chosen—and in this article, we’ve given you two (a double serving) that ought to get the job done.

But one quick suggestion first: this will be most effective if you clear out the family heirloom centerpiece that was hand-crafted by your great-great-great grandma and replace it with a TV, so that you can actually play the scenes for your family. (Boom. Already disruptive.)      

Conversation Starter #1

Remember that scene in Season 1 when it becomes quite clear Andrew has not been given the spiritual gift of dancing? And Simon asks Jesus to fix it by way of a miracle? Jesus’s response? “Some things even I cannot do.” Here’s the scene, because don’t forget—that TV is gonna be smack dab in the middle of your table, so you can totally show it:

Now, you’ve got two options on where you go with this one. First of all, people do not like a joking Jesus. They want him stoic and stuffy. So, you could just show the scene, and once you’ve stifled your own laughter, say, “Man, I love how The Chosen shows Jesus telling jokes. Because you know he did. Right, guys? Right? Guys?” 

Or you could go another direction entirely. Maybe your family is totally fine with a joking Jesus, but you know they would not be fine with any jokes about his omnipotence (which is a fancy term for “all-encompassing power”). Show the scene and say, “Oh man, I love how they joke that Jesus is powerful enough to turn water into wine, but he can’t possibly help Andrew pull off the Electric Slide.” The theological debate will be so intense, you could easily slip away and steal the absolute best piece of pie before anyone else can.

Conversation Starter #2

Chances are, even if the rest of your family hasn’t watched The Chosen, they’ve probably seen a scene or two involving Mary Magdalene, which means they probably know a thing or two about her story. But you might have to prep them. Something like:

The Chosen takes seriously that little note in the Gospels that Mary had to have seven demons driven out of her. And this made them wonder if someone that wrecked by demons might have been driven to drinking. So they imagined that struggle into her story.” 

Now, that alone might be enough disruption, because we get a lot of flack for our imagination, as careful as we are with it. But the part of Mary’s story in The Chosen that really got folks worked up was when we had her backslide in Season 2. Not only did we imagine her struggling with alcohol before she encountered Jesus; we imagined her struggling with alcohol after she encountered Jesus. You should show everyone the clip below. On that TV. That’s in the middle of your Thanksgiving feast.

Folks did not like this. Because if we’re all honest, we sort of like our spiritual heroes to take a turn toward the perfect and then stay in that lane. So, give a little backstory on Mary Mags, show the clip, and then say something like, “Anyone have any thoughts on The Chosen making her a bit of a backslider?” Good times.

Anyway, you just go on and give either option above a try, and we think it’s safe to say this’ll be a Thanksgiving to remember. Because it’s gonna feel like the Fourth of July, what with all the fireworks.
