Lionsgate is teaming up with Fathom Events to launch season 4 of The Chosen in theaters. This will mark the first time episodes of an entire TV season will debut exclusively in theaters.
“Last year we dipped our toes in the water by releasing a few episodes in theaters. The response was so strong, and season 4 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.
Check out a first look at season 4 in the trailer below.
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. What started as a crowd-funded project has now garnered over 770 million episode views and more than 12 million social media followers.
Here’s the official synopsis of season 4 of The Chosen.
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.
In the US and Canada, the season’s theatrical run begins with episodes 1-3 on February 1. Episodes 4-6 will debut on February 15, followed by episodes 7-8 on February 29. The premiere episodes will also release in theaters in Latin America, the UK, Poland, Australia, and New Zealand, across various distributors.
“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.”
