Jenkins said doing so helped with funding the show so that they can provide it for free to stream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cReleasing it in theaters first not only allowed us to give the fans a great experience, and allowed those who were willing to pay for it to to see it on the big screen and to see it in community which is important to a lot of people, see it in the way that we really intended it,\u201d the creator said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cBut it was also able to give us a little bit of a financial boost and we have to come up with creative ways to do that when we have a show that\u2019s ultimately free and the people don\u2019t have to pay for it if they don\u2019t choose to,\u201d he added. \u201cSo, when people are willing to do that, we want to definitely take advantage of that because we need it. We have a lot of money to raise, a lot to finance. We don\u2019t have a studio or streaming platform that\u2019s financing this whole operation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_744167\" style=\"width: 586px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-744167\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Chosen (2017). Loaves &#038; Fishes Production. Out of Order Studios. The Chosen Texas. IMDB.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Season 4 is an emotional one with the feeling of impending doom surrounding Jesus and his followers. Jenkins talked to us about how he tries to strike a balance between the difficult parts of the greatest story in human history \u2014 about \u201clife triumphs over death and good triumphs over evil\u201d \u2014 and how vital it is for the audience to relate to Jesus\u2019 disciples.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cBut every good story also is not going to shy away from the pain,\u201d Jenkins said. \u201cAnd the pain and the sadness, and the impending doom is a part of life. I think it\u2019s essential for audiences to go through with us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cBecause maybe there\u2019s some who don\u2019t want to go through some of that pain but I think for others, they need to, they want to because they want to be able to relate to this story and to these people and to know that that the followers of Jesus in history, the builders of the early church \u2026 were human beings just like us,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAnd they struggled just like we did and they have questions just like we do,\u201d Jenkins continued. \u201cAnd they experience poverty, oppression, and racism, and tribalism, and hardships and health problems just like we do. And that is so essential for the audience to understand and to know. Because when they relate to that then the answer and the hope that is provided can apply to them too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>SEASON 5<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Production on Season 5 has begun with more than three weeks so far of filming in Utah where 600 extras, from all over the world, were on set everyday for three weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As for what fans can expect from Season 5, the creator of the series confirmed it\u2019s going to be about Holy Week. Jenkins said that, just as the Gospel of Luke references the resoluteness of Jesus during the Passion Week, those working on the series have \u201cabsolutely\u201d felt that same sense of resolve and urgency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe filming of Season 5, we are a few weeks into it, and it has really been overwhelming,\u201d Jenkins said. \u201cFor three weeks we had 600 \u2018Chosen\u2019 fans per day on set in first-century costumes participating with us in some of these immensely important and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/living-through-a-socialist-collapse-an-insiders-account-of-venezuelas-demise\/\" title=\"Living Through A Socialist Collapse: An Insider\u2019s Account Of Venezuela\u2019s Demise\">life-changing events<\/a> from scripture during Holy Week. The most impactful week in the history of the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWeek one we filmed Jesus arriving in Jerusalem for Holy week and the actors were overwhelmed,\u201d he added. \u201cSeveral of them would come back after a take with tears streaming down their face talking about how humbling it was to see 600 people waving palm branches and chanting and singing and Romans on horseback and this big Jerusalem set that we\u2019re filming on I mean it felt like we were in the first-century.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_744181\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-744181\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Chosen (2017). Loaves &#038; Fishes Production. Out of Order Studios. The Chosen Texas. IMDB.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThat\u2019s happened a few times, filming moments from Holy Week, historical moments that were so impactful,\u201d Jenkins continued. \u201cGetting a chance to recreate those and see them in real time really is jaw dropping. And having the fans there with us and crying during some of these scenes, and supporting us and telling us that the show has changed their lives, is the fuel for us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jenkins couldn\u2019t say whether all of Season 5 will be first released in theaters exclusively. He added that \u201cit\u2019s very likely they will release the entire thing in theaters first, but hopefully next time around there won\u2019t be a delay in the streaming.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the creator of the hit series, Jenkins will often say \u201csomething special is happening on the set of \u2018The Chosen,\u2019\u201d and he told The Daily Wire that is already evident during the filming of Season 5.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Obviously, Jesus\u2019 character (played by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/jonathan-roumie-says-hes-on-mission-from-god-with-his-portrayal-of-jesus-in-the-chosen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jonathan Roumie<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">) is going to have a huge impact in the upcoming season, but another character he said the audience is going to get a deep dive into is Judas (played by Luke Dimyan).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jenkins said during a press conference he loves looking into how Jesus\u2019 followers didn\u2019t know it was Judas who betrayed him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHow they wrestle with the fact that something bad is happening,\u201d Jenkins said. \u201cJesus outright told the disciples one of you will betray me. How did this impact Judas? Who is it that Judas first approached? Specifically, the Romans, the religious leaders? How did it happen without the disciples knowing. The betrayal in Season 5 is really exciting and heartbreaking.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Popularity Growing<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The creator of the series also talked about its growing popularity, noting that when singers like Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani post on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/blakeshelton\/status\/1792722359281184908\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">X<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  about watching and loving the show, news outlets have to pay attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shelton recently took to X and wrote to his 19 million followers, \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Random two thumbs up from a country singer\u2026 Just finished season 3 of \u2018The Chosen\u2019 and I absolutely love it. No question in my mind why it\u2019s a worldwide phenomenon.\u201d Stefani <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/gwenstefani\/status\/1792783298894410149\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">added,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  \u201c[BlakeShelton] Obsessed, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Can\u2019t wait for season 4 [thechosenTv] u better not watch w out me!!

The series is consistently a top performer across streaming platforms Amazon Prime, Peacock, and Netflix plus a top-rated broadcast weekly on The CW.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_744195\" style=\"width: 873px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-744195\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Chosen (2017).

Jenkins, who didn\u2019t want to get ahead of the current season they are working on, did say that he recently read the script for episode one of Season 6 and could say that, \u201cI\u2019m absolutely just telling you we are doing it in a way that\u2019s never been done.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAnd it\u2019s really going to blow people away,\u201d he added. \u201cThese last few seasons I think are not only going to be the best seasons but they are going to justify the time that we have taken to set them up with the first four seasons.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chosen&#8221; creator Dallas Jenkins shared details on Season 4 and 5, revealing fan expectations as the popular faith-based series resumes filming.
