SW News: The creator, director, writer, and executive producer of the famous faith-based series The Chosen has announced that the premiere of its most awaited third season will hit theaters on November 18.

Dallas Jenkins on his Facebook page posted that the first two episodes of season 3 will be premiered in theatres for a short term and will be available on The Chosen free streaming platform. The remaining six episodes will be released weekly in the app in December, the director added.

"Most common question I get: 'When's Season 3 coming out?'" Jenkins posted on Facebook lately. "I now have the same answer you can give your friends: November 18, Episodes 1 & 2 back to back, only in theatres."

"There's an appetite here, so we're going to debut Season 3, the first two episodes, in theatres and try something new and figure out something that we haven't done before at this level," Jenkins said to the media. "If it works, we keep going. We're going wherever God parts the seas towards."

The Chosen’s Christmas special episode was the Fathom Event’s best-selling one and it earned 8 million dollars in sales on the opening night. "For me, it's about the impact and seeing what God is doing," Jenkins said. "God has something to say and I'm just wanting to be a part of it."

He also said that Season 3 begins at the part where Jesus feeds the 5,000 with which Season 2 ended. The theme for this season is based on the New Testament scripture Matthew 11:28: "Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest."

The Chosen’s Christmas release, "Christmas with the Chosen: The Messengers" was a box office hit when released last year.
