The Chosen is back soon with it's fourth season... have you been
watching?
For the past few years, I have had so many people
close to me raving about this show and telling me how much I would enjoy it...
but I'd never actually watched it... until now. I was given the opportunity to
check out a few episodes before the premiere, so I thought what better time to
give it a shot?
But first, a little bit about the show for
those who aren't familiar.
About The Chosen: The Chosen is a groundbreaking historical drama based on the life of Jesus (Jonathan Roumie), seen through the eyes of those who knew him. Set against the backdrop of Roman oppression in first-century Israel, the seven-season show shares an authentic and intimate look at Jesus’ revolutionary life and teachings. Season four premieres in theaters February 1, 2024. With over 200 million viewers, The Chosen is one of the most-watched shows in the world. The series is consistently a top performer across streaming platforms Amazon Prime, Peacock, and Netflix plus a top-rated broadcast weekly on The CW. What started as a crowd-funded project has now garnered over 770 million episode views and more than 12 million social media followers. The Chosen is an independent production written, directed, and produced by Dallas Jenkins and distributed globally by Lionsgate.
Season Synopsis: Clashing kingdoms. Rival rulers. The enemies of Jesus close in while His followers struggle to keep up, leaving Him to carry the burden alone. Threatened by the reality of Jesus’ growing influence, religious leaders do the unthinkable—ally with their Roman oppressors. As the seeds of betrayal are planted and opposition to Jesus’ message turns violent, He’s left with no alternative but demand his followers RISE UP.
Wow, pretty amazing, right? I have to say that while I've had many people talk to me about this show, I still didn't realize just how popular this show actually was. I was definitely curious to see what all the hype was about.
I was given the chance to check out episodes 4-6. Now, picking up in the middle of the fourth season, I will say that it took me just a bit to figure out who was who... but thankfully, having read the gospels, it didn't take me too long to figure out what was going on. Now, I don't watch much TV at all... and when I do, historical shows generally aren't my cup of tea... so I wasn't really sure what to expect from this one. I was pleasantly surprised to discover I actually really enjoyed this! The key Bible moments are definitely there, of course... but it also brought these historical figures that we've read about so many times to life in a way that makes them feel so much more relatable. There was humor mixed into it in a way that appealed to modern audiences... without taking away from the messages of scripture. Of course, a show like this should never replace time spent in the Word... but what a fantastic way to plant that seed in new believers and encourage them to pick up their Bibles, right?
