Ahead of its highly-anticipated fourth season, “The Chosen” released a preview yesterday, which quickly climbed to second place on YouTube’s trending list. Season four, which will release in February, will mark the first time a full season of a streaming TV show will debut exclusively in theaters.
“The Chosen” is a groundbreaking historical drama based on the life of Jesus (Jonathan Roumie), seen through the eyes of those who knew him. Set against the backdrop of Roman oppression in first-century Israel, the seven-season show shares an authentic and intimate look at Jesus’ revolutionary life and teachings. Season four premieres in theaters February 1, 2024.
“The Chosen” Season 4’s theatrical release is distributed by Fathom Events. Tickets can be purchased here.
Season 4 Synopsis:
Clashing kingdoms. Rival rulers. The enemies of Jesus close in while His followers struggle to keep up, leaving Him to carry the burden alone. Threatened by the reality of Jesus’ growing influence, religious leaders do the unthinkable—ally with their Roman oppressors. As the seeds of betrayal are planted and opposition to Jesus’ message turns violent, He’s left with no alternative but demand his followers RISE UP.
The theatrical rollout of Season 4 will begin with a two-week run of Episodes 1-3 on February 1, 2024, followed by Episodes 4-6 in theaters beginning February 15, and Episodes 7-8 beginning February 29 via Fathom Events in the U.S. and Canada. The premiere episodes will also be released in theaters in LATAM, the UK, Poland, Australia, and New Zealand via a consortium of distributors. After the full-season run in theaters concludes, The Chosen will announce the debut across streaming and linear TV platforms, as well as The Chosen TV and mobile apps.
“Last year we dipped our toes in the water by releasing a few episodes in theaters. The response was so strong, and Season Four is so big, that we knew we and Fathom had to give viewers the theatrical experience for all eight episodes,” said “The Chosen”’s creator and director, Dallas Jenkins.
“We’re excited to make history with ‘The Chosen’,” said Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Events. “This collaboration has been such an amazing experience! Watching the fans come out in such large numbers to watch the story of Jesus on the big screen has been both informative and heartwarming. We look forward to bringing Season 4 to theaters so those fans can continue to share this story together.”
“The Chosen” has become one of the most watched shows worldwide, consistently topping streaming platforms like Amazon Prime, Peacock, and Netflix, while also being a top-rated broadcast on The CW.
