The Chosen (2017)

The Chosen (2017) — a dramatic, historical retelling of the life and ministry of Jesus — follows the people whose lives are changed by him: a charismatic fisherman drowning in debt, a troubled woman wrestling with real demons, a young tax collector ostracized by society, and a religious leader quietly questioning his faith tradition. Told from the viewpoints of these and other everyday characters, the series humanizes biblical figures, building their backstories and emotional journeys so you feel the stakes of each encounter. If you watch The Chosen you’ll experience a character-driven, intimate drama that blends period detail with modern emotional realism: powerful performances, warm and sometimes raw human moments, and scenes of wonder as miracles and teachings unfold. The show balances humor, grief, moral complexity and hope, inviting both believers and curious viewers to reflect on faith, community, and redemption. Visually thoughtful and episodic in structure, it’s designed to draw you into each character’s life and keep you invested across episodes.
