Production on the highly
anticipated
Season 4
of
The Chosen
began filming
this week! at the series' home in Midlothian, Texas.
The series' official Instagram and Facebook accounts
posted a photo of a film clapperboard
marked "Season 4" waiting to be used on set.
"We're back,"
The Chosen
is the largest
crowd-funded media project
in history
and is a global phenomenon.
The series about the
life of Jesus and his disciples
took the
faith-based film industry by storm in 2017.
According to Angel Studios, the series distributor,
The Chosen has been streamed
more than 500 million times
and has now been seen by more than 108 million people
since Season 1 was launched.
The series is available to watch for free on
The Chosen App or the Angel Studios App.
It's also available on other popular streaming services
like Netflix and Amazon Prime.
The producers of the series also
revealed
in social media posts this week
that while
shooting Season 4,
they will begin to attempt translating
Seasons 1-3 into 600 languages.
In a short video posted to Facebook on
March 25, Series Creator and Director
Dallas Jenkins read a letter from a viewer
that he called "Mount Rushmore."
It was a note from a viewer in China who wrote how
the series had made an impact on her entire
family even though all of her
family members didn't speak English.
"This letter that we got
was from someone who was impacted by the show
without it being translated. Imagine the impact if
the show could be translated into 600 languages,"
Jenkins said.
"Imagine the impact if the show continued
to be free and easy to watch
from now until all seven seasons
are done."
Jenkins explained the series had partnered
with ComeAndSee Foundation, a nonprofit,
whose mission is to further
The Mission of The Chosen,
and
The Gospel,
by getting it into every country in the world and
translating the series into more than 600 languages.
Every dollar donated will be matched by the
foundation toward the production of the series
and the marketing and
translation into other languages.
