Dallas Jenkins knows exactly when The Chosen will end — but that doesn’t mean the journey needs to stop, with the creator already envisioning three spinoffs.
The series, which explores the life and ministry of Christ as outlined in the Gospels (with a few dramatic changes here and there), is currently filmingSeason 5. We know thatSeason 6will take place over one day, 24-style, asJesus prepares to be crucified, while Season 7 will revolve around the resurrection.
While fans may be dreading the show’s end, Jenkins has other plans for The Chosen. In aninterviewwith The Hollywood Reporter, he spoke about his hopes for aTaylor Sheridan-esque expansion into other projects — creating a ‘Jesus Cinematic Universe’ of The Chosen spinoffs, if you will.
While entertaining the prospect of Moses and Noah shows, he specifically has three ideas: a “sequel about the Book of Acts and the rise of the early church, a Ruth and Boaz movie, and an animated series for kids set in the world of The Chosen,” as per the outlet.
Don’t expect a Young Jesus spinoff, though. “We’re talking about a lot of Old Testament shows and spinoffs; we’ve already laid some Easter eggs for them — no pun intended,” he explained.

“I don’t think the Old Testament is any trickier to do than The Crown or Rome or Vikings. We think we’re close to another tipping point.
“One of the most exciting things is that so many people tell us they’re into the show in the same way they’re intoMarvelor DC. But we didn’t do it cynically — ‘Let’s create a Marvel experience and find content that fits.’ It started with the content.”
