With The Chosen grossing millions of dollars at the box office, fans have just discovered how many seasons of the hit series are in the pipeline.
Angel Studios, a faith-based entertainment titan afterSound of Freedomand other hit films, took interest in the series and turned to crowdfunding to make it possible. With $11 million in contributions, it became the biggest audience-funded project in TV history.
Five years after its launch, Season 4 has been enjoying an incredible theatrical run, with its final episodes due in the coming weeks. But if you think we’re nearing the end of the story, you’re wrong.
The Chosen fans find out how many seasons are planned
The Chosenis planned to be seven seasons long.
While Jenkins earlier said that Season 4 would be the “most emotionally challenging season” to date, the series is steadily building toward the passion — and that “devastating” arc is still two seasons away at least.
“We’re getting closer and closer to what we know is coming. There’s some extreme pain and sadness that’s coming soon in future seasons,” he toldFox News.
Fans took toRedditto speculate about the trajectory of Jesus’ story in future seasons. “From what I gather, Season 6 is going to be crucifixion/resurrection and Season 7’s going to be post-resurrection,” one wrote.
“I don’t know. But I really hope they don’t end a season with the crucifixion and make us wait a whole year to see the resurrection. Unfortunately, the pattern of increasing drama and cliffhangers makes me think this is likely,” another commented.
Jenkins has already confirmed that the crucifixion will take place in Season 6, with his resurrection unfolding in the seventh and final season.
