รีวิว The Chosen จากทีมงาน

เจาะลึก The Chosen: เนื้อเรื่อง การสร้าง และเสียงวิจารณ์

The Chosen is an American Christian religious-historical drama television series, created, directed, and co-written by filmmaker Dallas Jenkins. It is the first multi-season series about the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth, primarily set in Judaea and Galilee in the first century. The series depicts Jesus's life through the eyes of the people who interacted with him, including the apostles and disciples of Jesus, Jewish religious leaders, Roman government and military officials, and ordinary people. The series stars Jonathan Roumie as Jesus alongside Shahar Isaac, Elizabeth Tabish, Paras Patel, Noah James, and George H. Xanthis, among a large cast of others. Five seasons have been released, with the sixth season to be released in November 2026, and the seventh (final) season scheduled to be released in 2028.

The series is free to watch and has used a variety of different business models and distribution methods. The first season was financed through crowdfunding, becoming the most successful crowd-funded TV series in history. Season 1 was released in 2019 on the VidAngel platform with a subscription required, but the producers temporarily made it free to watch in response to the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic when millions of people were staying home—and revenue actually went up. They eventually decided to make all seasons free to watch, though there would be exclusivity windows. Seasons 3 and 4 premiered in movie theaters before being released to various streaming platforms, including Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Facebook, and YouTube. In 2025, Jenkins announced a deal with Amazon MGM Studios to premiere episodes of Seasons 5, 6, and 7 in theaters, followed by a 90-day exclusivity window on Amazon Prime Video, before being made available for free. As of May 2025, The Chosen grossed over US$120 million in its theatrical releases.

The show has been watched by an estimated 280 million people worldwide, a third of whom are not religious. The response has been generally positive among Christians, though there have been various controversies over aspects of the show. It has won three Gospel Music Association (GMA) Dove Awards, three K-Love Fan Awards, two Epiphany Prize from Movieguide and a Pillar Award from the Museum of the Bible.

The series is internationally distributed by Lionsgate, and translation into other languages is funded by the non-profit Come and See Foundation. The show has been adapted into a series of novels by Jenkins's father Jerry B. Jenkins, a series of graphic novels by Corvus Comics, and companion Bible study materials published by David C. Cook. The success of the series led to the creation of 5&2 Studios which has developed two spin-off series, animated TV series The Chosen Adventures and adventure series The Chosen in the Wild With Bear Grylls.

Synopsis

Set in 1st-century Galilee, the first season chronicles Jesus starting to build a group of disciples and his ministry, inviting people with different backgrounds to study under him. As he performs his first miracles, including turning water into wine in Cana, Jesus calls the former demoniac Mary Magdalene; the stonemason Thaddeus; the choir member Little James; the fishermen Simon, Andrew, Big James, and John; the caterer Thomas; the vintner Ramah; and the tax collector Matthew to follow him. Following Jesus's meeting with the Pharisee Nicodemus, the season culminates with the group traveling through Samaria, where Jesus launches his public ministry after revealing himself to Photina, a Samaritan woman.

Beginning in Samaria, the second season moves into nearby regions such as Syria and Judea, where Jesus continues to build his group of students. As he continues to perform miracles, including healing the paralytic at the Pool of Bethesda, while preparing for a significant sermon, Jesus additionally calls John the Baptizer's disciple Philip, the architect Nathanael, and the Zealot Simon Z. As the word of Jesus spreads throughout the region, he encounters both opportunities and difficulties. The season ends on the preparations for Jesus's Sermon on the Mount with the help of the business apprentice Judas Iscariot.

Returning to Capernaum, the third season portrays the increasing popularity of Jesus, which troubles different societal and political groups, including the Romans and the Pharisees. Following the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus sends his twelve apostles, two by two, to preach and perform miracles without him—their biggest challenge yet. Jesus then returns to his hometown, Nazareth, which results in a shift to his ministry in the year of his greatest popularity. After multiple miraculous occurrences, the season closes in the Decapolis and at the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus feeds thousands with loaves and fishes and then walks on the water.

Starting in Machaerus with the death of John the Baptizer, the fourth season unfolds the last year of the ministry of Jesus as Jesus bears the weight of his mission alone as his adversaries converge on him while his disciples struggle to keep pace with him. As Jesus performs his last miracles, such as healing a man born blind, and transforms his followers, such as changing Simon's name to Peter, the group leaves Capernaum and journeys to Judea and Perea, where they face violent opposition to Jesus's message, including the death of Ramah. When the Jewish religious leaders side with the Roman authorities following Jesus's last sign of raising Lazarus from the dead, the season concludes with Jesus making his way to Jerusalem.

Entering Jerusalem, the fifth season sets out the first five days of the final week of Jesus's ministry as the people of Israel receive him as their king and his disciples expect his reign. During the Passover week, he cleanses the Temple rather than overthrowing Rome. Fearing Jesus's influence, the religious authorities, including Joseph Ben Caiaphas, and the political rulers, including Pontius Pilate, handle it differently. After his final public sermon and farewell discourses, Jesus initiates his Last Supper with the Twelve Apostles in the Upper Room. Once the group heads to the Garden of Gethsemane, the season wraps up with an upset Judas Iscariot betraying Jesus.

Development

In 2017, working through his production company, Vertical Church Films, Dallas Jenkins released a feature-length film, The Resurrection of Gavin Stone; the film did not perform to the studio's expectations at the box office. While working to determine his next project, Jenkins began binge-watching different television shows and realized there had never been a multi-season show about Jesus that could be watched in the same way.

Jenkins returned to a script for a short film called The Shepherd. Filmed on a friend's farm in Marengo, Illinois, Jenkins wrote the screenplay and intended the film be shown during a Christmas Eve service at his church, Harvest Bible Chapel in Elgin, Illinois. Expanding on that idea, he came up with the concept for The Chosen as a multi-season story arc about the life of Jesus that could build a backstory based on cultural and historical context. This allowed him to focus more on the people who encountered and followed Jesus, viewing him through their eyes and thus presenting Jesus in a way that was more "personal, intimate, [and] immediate".

Faith-based video streaming service VidAngel became aware of The Shepherd and showed interest in expanding on the concept of a Jesus-based series. At the time, VidAngel was involved in a lawsuit with major Hollywood studios and thus seeking original content to distribute. They suggested putting the short film on Facebook as a series pilot to see if interest would be generated for a multi-season show. Jenkins expressed that he was not totally on board with the potential of crowdfunding, but decided to give the platform a try. The short film received over 15 million views around the world.

VidAngel, along with Jenkins and video marketing strategist Derral Eves, turned to the crowdfunding business model to produce The Chosen. A provision in the JOBS Act that went into effect in 2016 allowed them to offer shares of ownership and profits from the production rather than the arbitrary perks offered by regular crowdfunding. The first fundraising round raised $11 million from more than 16,000 investors for the project, each of whom received equity in the project. This surpassed Mystery Science Theater 3000 as the top crowdfunded TV series project. Their equity stake allows them to share in profits not only from the show itself but also from other revenue sources, such as merchandise, books, and Bible-study materials. Majority shareholders will not receive a share of the profits until the original investors earn 120% of their investments.

After funding the first season by selling equity, the show has utilized traditional crowdfunding for subsequent seasons, along with a model that offers more traditional crowdfunding perks, such as appearing as an extra in the film. Season 2 fundraising had raised over $6 million from more than 300,000 contributors as of July 1, 2020. As with previous seasons, the producers continue to use the pay-it-forward model developed by Angel Studios to help fund the development of the show's future seasons. Through 2021, the average contribution through crowdfunding efforts was $65.

In October 2022, the creators partnered with a new nonprofit, the Come and See Foundation, which was created to manage the show's funding. The nonprofit status allows contributors to receive a tax deduction for their donations. In March 2024, Jenkins announced a delay in the streaming release of season 4 for legal reasons stemming from a dispute between The Chosen, LLC and Angel Studios, noting that the production costs of the series were proving the previous method of crowdfunding to be unsustainable.

The show also raises revenue through licensing to other streaming platforms and TV networks, video and merchandise sales, and limited premiere runs in movie theaters.

Seven seasons of the series are planned. In 2023, former DreamWorks executive Mark Sourian was hired to lead development of an entertainment universe with future films and shows based on the original series.

Script

In contrast with typical Bible-focused productions, Jenkins has given more depth to his scripts by adding backstories to various characters from the gospels without contradicting material that is present. This is noted in the opening credits of the first episode, which include the following:The Chosen is based on the true stories of the gospels of Jesus Christ. Some locations and timelines have been combined or condensed. Backstories and some characters or dialogue have been added. However, all biblical and historical context and any artistic imagination are designed to support the truth and intention of the Scriptures. Viewers are encouraged to read the gospels. The original names, locations and phrases have been translated into English for anything spoken.

Although the show has an evangelical tendency, there are consultants from three Christian faith traditions providing input. Acting as consultants are Messianic rabbi Jason Sobel from Fusion Global Ministries; Catholic priest and national director of Family Theater Productions Father David Guffey; and professor of New Testament at Biola University Dr. Doug Huffman. They review scripts and provide facts or context on the biblical, cultural, and socio-political history of the storyline. Orthodox Jewish theologian David Nekrutman was appointed as adviser for the show's fourth season.

Jenkins said he draws creative inspiration from shows like Friday Night Lights and The Wire, and writers Ryan Swanson and Tyler Thompson list The Wire, Game of Thrones, Battlestar Galactica, and Star Trek as their influences.

Casting

The show features many people of color as actors, which is not often the case in television shows and films based on the Bible. Jenkins avoided "big stars" and "white people", trying instead to re-create a picture of first-century Capernaum—which, being on a trade route, would have reflected a diversity of ethnicities and backgrounds.

Various members of the cast have described a deep connection to the show, the story, and their character. Elizabeth Tabish, who was considering leaving her acting career, described it as a "dream role". Jonathan Roumie said he always aims to "empty out as much of himself as possible" to allow the Holy Spirit to work in him through both the script and his performance onscreen. In describing his preparation for the role, Roumie said that he does "a good bit of reading and rereading the source material" but that most of the preparation is "in the spiritual department".

Filming

Season 1 was filmed over 60 days mostly around Poolville and Weatherford, Texas, supplemented by a sound stage and visual effects in a Dallas studio. After searching online for suitable locations, the producers settled on the existing Capernaum Village in Pooleville, a venue that offers both film set rental and live experiences for tourists.

Season 2 moved filming to Utah County, Utah, to a replica Jerusalem movie set built by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The set was originally built to authentically replicate most of the primary locations of the ancient city in order to film scenes for the LDS Church's Bible and Book of Mormon videos. As part of the LDS Motion Picture Studios South Campus, the set's use by The Chosen marks the first time a production not affiliated with the LDS Church has been allowed to film there. Filming occurred during October and November 2020. Commenting on how much the Utah desert resembles the Holy Land, Dallas Jenkins said that they could not re-create it anywhere else—"you can't even get this in Israel".

Being filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic created challenges for the production of season 2. Two thousand extras were used in filming the Sermon on the Mount scene, all of whom were required to obtain a negative PCR test result prior to filming. Safety precautions such as multiple testing and proper personal protective equipment (PPE) kits for the cast and crew members were also applied. Following COVID-19 protocols increased the production costs by $750,000. Anyone arriving on set had to be tested in advance and upon arrival, longer meal breaks were required, and all hair and makeup stations had to be sanitized regularly. Jenkins indicated that the production experienced fewer than five positive COVID-19 cases during filming.

Production of season 3 moved filming back to Texas, to a site in Midlothian, selected for its similarities with the Middle East in both topography and weather. There, The Chosen partnered with the National Christian Foundation and the Impact Foundation to construct a $20 million production complex on the site of the Salvation Army's Camp Hoblitzelle. When completed, the complex will include a soundstage, set workshops, and a replica of Capernaum. The Chosen will lease the facility, which will ultimately be used for other film and television projects. Beginning in April 2022, filming for season 3 included a four-day shoot for the scene of the feeding of the 5,000, using nearly 12,000 extras from 36 countries. Most of the extras came at their own expense and made their own costumes.

Season 4 production began in March 2023 in Midlothian. When the series had to stop filming at the beginning of the 2023 Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strike on July 14, 2023, fans started a prayer campaign through social media. The series was granted a waiver to continue filming on July 16, 2023. Under the terms of the waiver, the show's producers agreed to be bound to the terms of the collective bargaining agreement retroactively.

Filming of season 5 began on April 11, 2024, in Utah with production completing at the show's facility in Midlothian, Texas.

Jenkins announced that season 6 began filming on April 14, 2025. The season included filming in Goshen, Utah. The crucifixion scenes were shot in Matera, Italy. Filming concluded in September 2025. The sixth season will premiere November 15, 2026 with the season finale in theaters March 12, 2027. The seventh and final season began filming on April 27, 2026, and was completed September 2026. It will premiere in 2028.

Music

To compose the music for the series, creator Dallas Jenkins called on a longtime friend, Jars of Clay vocalist and songwriter Dan Haseltine. Haseltine had worked on projects with Jenkins in the past, composing the music for Hometown Legend. Initially, Haseltine was not interested, believing that there were plenty of similar projects and that the world didn't need another "cheesy Jesus story". After Jenkins convinced him that The Chosen would be different, Haseltine brought in fellow Jars of Clay multi-instrumentalist Matthew S. Nelson to assist with composition. Haseltine has noted that musical influences include Middle Eastern, Indian drone, Delta blues, and "slave spirituals".

Themes

Executive producer Dallas Jenkins wanted to produce a multi-season series about Jesus that viewers could binge watch. Hoping to distinguish the series from previous portrayals of Jesus, Jenkins wanted to "encounter Jesus through the eyes of those who actually met Him", presenting a story that would be more "personal, intimate, [and] immediate".

The show gives backstories to both the characters and the settings. For instance, there are storylines that explore vice, addiction, autism, and physical disability. In The New York Times, Ruth Graham points out that themes within the storylines include "complex relationships, suspense, political intrigue, and charged emotional moments". Other themes, described by Chris DeVille in The Atlantic, include marital conflict and financial struggles. Writing for Vox, Aja Romano points out there is an underlying theme of racial tension as shown in the relationship between Jews and Samaritans of the time.

Actor Jordan Walker Ross, who plays Little James, has scoliosis and minor cerebral palsy, causing him to walk with a limp, a disability that he was asked to hide in previous acting jobs. Rather than hide it, Jenkins has used Ross's physical disability to explore story themes in which Jesus heals some people but not others.

Jenkins also highlights that there were key moments in which women were intentionally chosen by Jesus to be a vital part of his ministry.

Release and distribution

The show used a variety of different release and distribution models as viewership has grown. The first season was originally released on VidAngel's subscription service and was also available for DVD purchase. Initially, viewership was sluggish. Then, during the COVID-19 pandemic in March and April 2020, the first season was made freely available through The Chosen app, and viewership spiked. Jenkins stated that revenue actually went up after they made it free to watch, attributing it to "God's impossible math". The producers have since made the free-to-watch model permanent, and generate revenue through a variety of channels including theatrical releases, streaming platform and television network deals, merchandise and media sales, and pay-it-forward viewer contributions.

Seasons 1–4 were primarily distributed via The Chosen's app and website before being released to other platforms. New episodes were typically premiered via livestream on YouTube and Facebook, and then released on the app and website. The app includes bonus content, such as Bible round-tables and exclusive "after-show" content, as well as an opportunity for viewers to make tax-deductible contributions to fund production. Beginning with Season 5, new seasons will be initially exclusive to Amazon Prime Video before being made available for free.

Season 1

By early 2021, the show was made available to view on Amazon Prime Video, Trinity Broadcasting Network, Peacock, and UPtv. In 2022, season 1 was released on Netflix.

Season 2

Season 2 was first released in 2021 on The Chosen app and the Angel Studios app and expanded to various other free and paid streaming platforms.

The producers partnered with Fathom Events for a Christmas special titled Christmas with The Chosen: The Messengers, which opened in 1,700 theaters on December 1, 2021. The special also featured performances from Contemporary Christian music artists including Phil Wickham, Maverick City Music, For King and Country, and Brandon Lake. It grossed $13.5 million with one million tickets sold, exceeding previous records for Fathom Events. The effort was to satisfy demand from fans as well as an attempt to drive people back to movie theaters.

Season 3

After the success in theaters of the Christmas special, the producers announced the first two episodes of Season 3 would be shown in theaters before being released for free on various platforms. Season 3's first two episodes were released in theaters prior to streaming. It screened in more than 2,000 theaters throughout the US, as well as the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Jenkins indicated an interest to theatrically release the third season's penultimate and finale episodes as well, noting that the scene of the feeding of the 5,000 is more suited to the big screen. When Jenkins announced ticket sales during a livestream, the resulting demand initially crashed the Fathom Events website. The finale opened in theaters on February 2, 2023.

In June 2023, The CW acquired the first three seasons of The Chosen for linear broadcast in the United States. The CW premiere broadcast was watched by 520,000 viewers.

Another theatrical Christmas special, Christmas with The Chosen: Holy Night, opened in theaters on December 12, 2023. Combining scenes from The Shepherd and The Messengers, the film featured seven musical performances from the previous special. A new performance included in the special was done by Andrea Bocelli and his son, Matteo Bocelli, singing "O Holy Night" in French. The special also featured monologues by Dallas Jenkins's wife, Amanda Jenkins, and co-writer of The Chosen, Tyler Thompson.
