As a biblical drama focusing on the life of Jesus Christ and His followers, “The Chosen” has not only made history with its successful following but is now breaking new ground as the first-ever streaming series to debut nationwide in the cinema.

That’s what’s on tap for the show’s season four, which hits theaters Feb. 1.

Show’s Season 4 Portrays Persecution of Jesus

Directed by Dallas Jenkins and distributed by Lionsgate, “The Chosen” is set in first-century Galilee and Judaea. This time, viewers will see storylines that include Jesus experiencing some of the most challenging parts of His early ministry. Losing loved ones and enduring increased persecution from not only the Romans but His own people will be explored in the multi-season show.
