Los Angeles:

The much-anticipated release of the fourth season of ‘The Chosen’, will hit theatres on February 1. The hit historical drama series, based on the life of Christ, stars Jonathan Roumie as Jesus, alongside Shahar Isaac, Elizabeth Tabish, Paras Patel, Noah James, and George H. Xanthis. The series directed by Dallas Jenkins showcases the revolutionary life and teachings of Christ set against the backdrop of Jewish oppression.

The first multi-season show that portrays the life of Jesus is the biggest crowdfunded project in the history of the television series. The show, which is more than just entertainment, takes its viewers deeper into the gospel stories.

Last year, in an interview with Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), Jenkins shared about the unique challenge he faced to portray the Gospels. He said that to show Christ on screen he had to know him deeper, and for that he read the gospels more specifically than ever before. During the process, he began noticing the things that he had never realized before. Jenkins said that Jesus shared a specific and intimate relationship with each person. In this upcoming season, he presents the life of Christ through the perspectives of the ones who knew him.

In an interview prior to the release of the season, Roumie who plays Jesus, said that the season would take its viewers on an emotional rollercoaster, and that with this season, the beginning of the end will begin. Amber Shana Williams who plays Tamar described that in this season one could see heart-breaking scenes. According to Williams, the key takeaway for its viewers in this season will be the scenes where the characters struggle to keep their faith when it is really hard to do so. Jenkins remarked that the whole message of the Gospel relies on the tough part.

Chosen promises its viewers two things about the upcoming season. The first one is that it won’t be easy and the other, it will be worth it. The theatrical premiere of ‘The Chosen’ will be released in the US and Canada. In addition, there will be a theatrical run of season 4 in Latin America, the U.K., Poland, Australia, and New Zealand. Post the theatrical debut, the series will be made available to watch on Angel.com or the Angel app.
