‘THE CHOSEN’ SETS NOV. 18 DEBUT FOR SEASON 3, INTERNATIONALLY IN 2000+ CINEMAS
TV Series and Global Phenomenon Goes to the Movies
WATERLOO, Ont. – October 26, 2022 – The Chosen – the global phenomenon, multi-episode television drama based on the life of Jesus – will launch the first two episodes of its highly anticipated third season in more than 2000 movie theatres globally, including theatres across Canada.
With more than 420 million episode views from around the world, The Chosen is a fan-supported, seven-season television series that creates an authentic and intimate picture of Jesus’ life and ministry, seen through the eyes of the people who knew him.
“The theme of Season 3 is ‘Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest,’” said series Creator Dallas Jenkins. “The honeymoon phase is over, now the characters all have to deal with the costs and occasional confusions of following the Messiah.”
