Followers ofThe Chosenwill need to brace themselves for some bad news next month.Dallas Jenkins’ crowd-funded Christian series, whichretells the story of the life of the big guy himself, Jesus Christ, is currently available to stream on Netflix — but not for much longer. The immensely popular show is scheduled toleave the streaming platform on June 25, 2025. For anyone who has yet to watch the eight-episode first season, or to rewatch it, on Netflix, November 22 will be your last opportunity to join in the fun.
Netflix’s acquisition ofThe Chosenin September 2023 was a quiet but surprising move. The show arrived with little to no fanfare, with the news welcomed by the small but passionate fanbase. In the time since though, the show has, it’s fair to say, exploded in popularity, yet Netflix never sought to gain the rights to any of the further seasons, which is a surprise. While the show never reached the heights of Netflix’s top 10, it did manage to capture a decent audience, as data from Netflix’s Engagement Reports indicate that from January 2023 to June 2024,The Chosenreached a solid 126.2 million hours watched, translating to roughly 20 million views. In fact, in the first half of 2023, it ranked as the 185th most-watched series globally, which is no small feat for aniche, faith-based series.
So, Where Can I Watch ‘The Chosen’ Then?
Worry not, faithful. If you’re scared that you’ll lose the ability to watch Jesus and the disciples, there are still plenty of other places for you to check it out.In the U.S., Hulu, Peacock, and Prime Videoall offer the series, with the full four seasons also available on The CW. Additionally, the official website forThe Chosenstreams all episodes, so there’s no risk of missing out as long as you’ve got internet access.
International viewers, however, face a bit more of a challenge. Outside the U.S., options start to dwindle, asThe Chosenremains largely tied to VOD services that require individual purchases per episode, so for fans overseas, the Netflix news might be slightly more problematic.
