The team behind “The Chosen,” the monumentally popular TV series about the life of Jesus and His disciples, is just getting started.
In fact, showrunner Dallas Jenkins unveiled a slew of announcements over the weekend at the ChosenCon fan convention in Orlando, a massive gathering of thousands of the show’s biggest buffs.
That announcement hinged on the launch of a new production company, 5&2 Studios, which will develop new movies and TV shows in “The Chosen” universe.

Two of the biggest developments Jenkins unveiled surround a new animated kids program and the future of “The Chosen” itself. As for the latter, the show has centered on a seven-season blueprint.
And with the fifth season slated to premiere in 2025, fans have wondered what will come next. Jenkins and his team haven’t given intensive details, though a press release distributed during ChosenCon affirmed the “next chapter following ‘The Chosen’” will center on the “Acts of the Apostles.”
It’s unclear whether this will come in the form of streaming content of a theatrical release, but fans will certainly be elated to know “The Chosen” won’t be the end of the cinematic journey.
A separate project that was more intensely discussed was “The Chosen Adventures,” a new, 14-episode animated program for children that features some of the same talent seen in “The Chosen,” including Jonathan Roumie, Paras Patel, Elizabeth Tabish, and Noah James.
“‘The Chosen Adventures’ follows 9-year-old Abby in the Galilean city of Capernaum, circa 30 CE,” a synopsis reads. “Inquisitive young Abby is bursting at the seams with questions and feels she doesn’t have the kinds of answers she’s looking for. When she and her best friend, Joshua, meet Jesus will all that change?”
