Jim Halterman SPOILER ALERT:The following interview discusses events from “Humble,” the Season 4 finale of “The Chosen,” now streaming on “The Chosen” app and YouTube page. The lead character of any television series riding a donkey as he’s about to face his tragic prophesized fate is not the way most shows would end its season — but there aren’t a lot of series like faith-based drama “The Chosen,”which ended its fourth season on Sunday. Since its premiere in 2017, the scripted drama has chronicled the early days of Jesus Christ (Jonathan Roumie) as he spread His gospel and accumulated both followers (yes, including the 12 apostles) and enemies along the way.
Since then, the independent show has given us many of Jesus’ miracles (turning water to wine, walking on water, raising the dead) as well as historical horrors such as the beheading of John the Baptizer (David Amito), which occurred earlier this season. Also, coming in Seasons 6 and 7, respectively, the crucifixion and resurrection.
The show has also reached its loyal audience in unconventional ways, such as Season 4 episodes premiering in movie theaters prior to streaming on both “The Chosen” app and the show’s YouTube page for free. Also, the CW (which aired the first three seasons last year) will begin airing Season 4 on Sept.
1, with a two-hour premiere. The show is also making headlines because of a legal case with Angel Studios, which helped the show launch via crowdfunding, appealing a ruling that terminated its rights to the Dallas Jenkins-created show moving forward.
