More about Dallas Jenkins' The Chosen

Dallas Jenkins' The Chosen, a biblical drama series, is based on the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth in 1st-century Galilee. The drama series debuted its Season 1 in December 2017 and recently wrapped its Season 5 in June 2025. Highly praised for its biblical allusions and tales from the Old Testament, the series was hailed as a classic hit by critics and audiences alike.

Season 5 Last Supper follows one of the most monumental moments in Christianity, where Jesus Christ had a final supper with 12 of His most loyal Apostles, before He was handed off to the Romans for execution. The Chosen is already renewed for Season 6 and a final seventh season, which will follow Jesus' crucifixion and eventual resurrection.

While The Chosen is a more faithful adaptation of Jesus' life, the upcoming animated series will explore His relationship with kids. Through Abby and Joshua, The Chosen Adventures will adapt many heartwarming stories from the Old Testament, where two children will spread the word of God in Capernaum, circa 30 CE.
