Seasons & episodes

Our head writer, Ryan Swanson, takes you behind the scenes of a “rough cut” as he describes his first time seeing The Chosen.

Not every film set uses phrases like “loaves and fishes” or “get used to different,” but they all use terms like “speeding” and “key grip.” This video tells you exactly what those and other film-specific terms mean.

Do you pray for the Chosen? Wonder if it’s working in between seasons? Here’s why we ask for your prayers and here’s why you need to keep it up.

Grips play an important role on The Chosen, the first-ever multi-season show about Jesus. But what exactly do grips do? Do they all have epic beards?

One of our visual effects companies, VFX Magic, assembled these clips of some of the unique effects in The Chosen, some of which you may not have noticed.

When we researched The Chosen, our understanding of Nicodemus and the Pharisees shifted a bit. So did the way we portray them.

Enjoy this walkthrough our Texas site with a look at the various scenes we filmed in each spot. I think you’ll agree we made the most of a small space!

For this emotional scene, we took a shallow ravine and turned it into a cliff overlooking the Sea of Galilee using blue screen, shooting targets, and a little movie magic.

The opening credits and theme song set The Chosen apart from other shows about Jesus and have gotten a ton of response. Here we take you behind the scenes of how it all came together, the meaning behind the design and the song, and how the opening credits set the tone for the series.

What exactly does a director do? In the midst of all the impact and excitement of The Chosen, the show still has to get made. We thought you’d enjoy a look inside a day on the set from Dallas’s perspective.

Notice how Season 2’s sets seemed bigger? We’re taking you on a guided tour through every corner of our set so you can see which scenes filmed where.

Dallas getting pranked isn’t even the best part of this video from Chris & Kris. You’ll also see how we make sure every word and sound you hear matters.

Who’s the editor, what’s the editing “language” of the show, and does Dallas hate music? Chris & Kris take you into the editing room of The Chosen and find out how it all works.

Our story is set in the 1st century, but did you know some of our dialogue is delivered in a studio in Los Angeles? Chris & Kris show you why.

Did you know background actors don’t actually say anything? Chris & Kris show you where those voices come from and teach you about “looping,” “donuts,” and bad British accents.

Fan of the music in The Chosen? Chris & Kris went to L.A. to talk to our co-composer and take you behind the process of getting the music into the episodes.

Right before we filmed the epic finale of Christmas With The Chosen, Dallas gathered the crowd, band, and crew for this spontaneous encouragement about the entire point of The Chosen. He also shared what he believes is the single most important word in the song “Joy to the World.”

Fire on the set! That’s real fire in those torches, cauldrons, and lanterns. How do they keep it safe? Chris & Kris give you an inside look at how our team goes the extra mile for authenticity.
