So, as the name suggests, The Chosen Insiders Conference offers a more intimate fan experience. There you get to spend two days engaging directly with the show’s creators, cast, and crew!
Dallas Jenkins, the creator of The Chosen, is embarking on an exciting new venture with the establishment of 5&2 Studios. This independent studio will take charge of the production for The Chosen franchise. It will also produce a future array of film and television projects inspired by biblical themes. The announcement was made on the opening day of the ChosenCon fan convention in Orlando.
“Nearly every time I encounter a viewer, they say something about wanting more Bible content from us. I always say we need to not get ahead of ourselves and remain focused, but now we’ve got a robust enough team to expand our efforts. I’m very excited to bring our ‘Chosen way’ to more great stories from the Bible, and it’s awesome that we get to first announce it to the fans who helped get us here long before we were popular.”
Dallas Jenkins, Chairman and Chief Creative Officer at 5&2 Studios
The Chosen Adventures
