Jonathan Roumie, the actor who plays Jesus in the series, told CBN News at the theatrical premiere of Episodes 1 & 2 in Atlanta, Georgia last month, “It’s been a beautiful opportunity for me. Season 3, for me, is probably the proudest season for me as an actor.”
He said the upcoming season starts getting into some “meaty moments” in Jesus’s life on screen. “You know, moments I never thought I’d get to depict. And I think it’s only going to go deeper.”
Dallas Jenkins, the creator and director of The Chosen, said the Season 3 theme is, “Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
“This is the time where they go, ‘OK. Great. We’re following Jesus. Everything’s going to be awesome, right? When are we going to overthrow the Romans? When are we going to start making our lives better?’ And Jesus is like, ‘Oh, hey, funny story. That’s not why I came. You’re called to surrender. You’re called to give up your life,'” he explained.
“This is the period of the seven seasons where the disciples wrestle with God the most and they ask the questions that I think we’ve all asked at times in our faith journey, which is, ‘Wait a minute, why isn’t everything awesome?’ And what Jesus I think gives us is a new definition of awesome,” Jenkins told CBN News.

As CBN News reported last month, The Chosen Season 3 beat out DC Comics, Universal, and Disney. The special-event screening is considered by film experts as a surprise upset, but fans of the crowd-funded series have been anticipating its premiere for months.
“The success of The Chosen Season 3: Episode 1 & 2 is the perfect example of how innovative the event cinema business has become and how hungry audiences are for faith-based content,” said Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Events. “Additionally, the robust partnership that we’ve developed with Angel Studios and The Chosen team really works – not only for Fathom Events and our exhibition partners but for fans everywhere, including several international territories who want to see this content on the big screen and as a community.”
Jordan Harmon, president of Angel Studios also revealed in a press release that other Angel originals will also be coming to theaters soon.
“Angel has spent years building a dedicated audience around this series, not just people who will watch but fans who will take action,” he said. “That audience turned out in force for this event, and we plan to use this same tactic to launch numerous other Angel Originals in theaters in the near future.”
