Updated August 2026
View The Chosen details →The Chosen tells the life of Christ through the eyes of those who met him — the first multi-season series to do so, and famously funded by its own audience. Character-driven and unhurried, it humanises familiar figures like Peter, Matthew and Mary Magdalene rather than reaching for spectacle. If its intimate, faith-rooted storytelling drew you in, look for grounded historical and biblical dramas that find their power in people and conviction rather than grandeur.
