The Chosen – ACQUIRED

It was just announced in June that The CW has picked up the rights for the US broadcast debut for the three seasons of biblical series The Chosen.

Here’s a synopsis: The Chosen is the first multi-season series of its kind, a historical drama about the life of Jesus (Jonathan Roumie) as seen through the eyes of His followers. Set against the backdrop of Jewish oppression in first-century Israel, the seven-season show shares an authentic and intimate look at Jesus’ revolutionary life and teachings. The fourth season is currently in production.

The Chosen will premiere on Sunday, July 16th.
