The Chosen

A drama about Jesus and the people around him

The Chosen is an entertainment app for watching a multi-season drama about the life of Jesus, told through the perspectives of people who knew him. Set in first-century Israel under Roman rule, the series follows his ministry, miracles and the people affected by his presence. It may suit viewers looking for a character-focused telling of these stories, as well as those who want related material alongside the episodes.

Episodes and related viewing

The app offers the series’ seasons along with bonus content, including aftershows, Bible Roundtables and behind-the-scenes extras. Scripture references connect scenes with passages that inspired them, with links supported by the YouVersion Bible App. Search can help you find episodes, characters or topics, and playback includes options for subtitles and audio languages.

Language support is extensive: the app is available in 197 languages, while the show has subtitles or audio in 175. You can also download episodes for offline viewing, continue where you left off across devices, and cast to a TV. The app describes its viewing experience as ad-free and says an account is not required.

Consider how you like to watch

This is a focused choice if you want The Chosen and its companion content in one place. If you mainly use entertainment apps for a broad mix of films and shows, its emphasis on one series may be less useful. Language choices, offline viewing and TV casting may matter more if you watch in different settings or share viewing across screens.

Popularity is one signal

Come And See is the developer. The Chosen has a 4.7-star rating from about 58,000 ratings and more than 10 million installs. Those figures suggest that many people have tried it and rated it highly, but your fit will depend on whether this series and its viewing options suit your own interests and routine.
