Amazon MGM Studios correct made a giant play in the faith-based entirely leisure space, locking down The Chosen in an authentic U.S. streaming contend with Dallas Jenkins’ 5&2 Studios. That design High Video now holds the rights to the fundamental five seasons and the upcoming final two plus theatrical distribution for The Chosen’s closing chapters.
Nevertheless this isn’t correct about Jesus and the disciples—Amazon is furthermore throwing its weight at the help of The Chosen in The Wild with Undergo Grylls, because of it appears to be, surviving Roman persecution wasn’t intense sufficient. The unscripted survival series will creep the cast (and Jenkins himself) into the desert, where Grylls will presumably catch them enjoy bugs whereas reflecting on biblical issues.
The deal, presented through a YouTube livestream featuring Jenkins and Amazon pros, furthermore involves a fundamental-survey settlement, which design High Video is at risk of be cooking up even more faith-infused screech material. And let’s be valid, Amazon’s no longer doing this out of pure non secular devotion—faith-based entirely leisure is booming, and The Chosen has a diehard fanbase that makes Ted Lasso stans survey casual.
This isn’t Amazon’s first holy alliance either. Last year, the studio linked up with The Shock Project, the production firm at the help of the upcoming House of David series, proving that Christian screech material is rarely any longer a definite segment play—it’s a essential streaming battleground.
Season 5 of The Chosen lands in theaters throughout Holy Week on March 28 forward of dropping on High Video in June. As for The Chosen in The Wild? No birth date but, but query to survey some familiar faces endure the parts—and per chance procure a pair of desert survival tricks straight from the Sermon on the Mount.
