7 Things You Should Know about Season 4 of The Chosen 

One of the most popular Bible-based entertainment projects ever, The Chosen, can credit its success to what Hollywood studios would call a stroke of fortune.Fans of the series, though, would call it providential.In 2019, the series’ first season had its share of admirers but had yet to reach the viral status — much less the funding — it now enjoys. Then, the 2020 pandemic hit. In March of that year, the company behind The Chosen placed Season 1 online for free. Viewership soared. That led to more donations. It also led to more seasons.Brad Pelo, president of The Chosen, believes the pandemic was critical to its current success.”It helped because we were all in our homes, looking for something to do,” Pelo told Crosswalk. “But I think it also helped because we were facing a dilemma as a society. We’re wondering: Is this going to kill us all? Will life ever return to normal? We were asking existential questions of humanity.”Today, The Chosen is available on its own platform as well as major streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Peacock. In my view, it is the best faith-based project in modern history. Season 4 releases in theaters in February.Here are seven things you should know about Season 4:Photo credit: ©The Chosen; used with permission.
