The Chosen is a show about Jesus Christ, adapted from the four books of the Bible known as the Gospels, which each tell the story of his birth, life, and death through the varying viewpoints of their writers. The plot for the first season covers Christ's early ministry when he's still an anonymous Jewish wanderer that the greater Roman Palestine doesn't know much about.

​

Created, directed, and co-written by filmmaker Dallas Jenkins, it is the first multi-season series about the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. Primarily set in Judea and Galilee in the 1st century, the series centers on Jesus and the different people who met and followed or otherwise interacted with him.
