Shows like Chosen

The Chosen is an American religious historical drama television series created, directed and co-written by American filmmaker Dallas Jenkins. It is the first multiseason series about the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. Primarily set in Judaea and Galilee in 1st century, the series revolves around Jesus and the different people who met and followed him. The series stars Jonathan Roumie as Jesus, alongside Shahar Isaac, Elizabeth Tabish, Paras Patel, Noah James, and George H. Xanthis.

Jenkins wanted to create a series about Jesus that could be "binge watched", and he hoped to distinguish the new series from previous portrayals of Jesus by crafting a multiseason, episode-based story. Jenkins's intention was to focus more deeply on the people who encountered Jesus and to show Jesus "through the eyes of those who met him", in a way that is more "personal, intimate, [and] immediate."
