The biblical universe of "The Chosen" is expanding. Creator Dallas Jenkins has revealed several television projects in the works, including animated and unscripted series spinoffs and a three-season series following the lives of Moses and Joseph.

Jenkins announced the projects Friday at the ChosenCon fan convention in Orlando.




The Chosen Adventures is a 14-episode animated series that follows 9-year-old Abby in the Galilean city of Capernaum, circa 30 CE. Inquisitive young Abby is bursting at the seams with questions and feels she doesn’t have the kinds of answers she’s looking for.

When she and her best friend, Joshua, meet Jesus will all that change?

Voice cast includes Paul Walter Hauser (Black Bird), Yvonne Orji (Insecure) and Jordin Sparks, as well as cast members from "The Chosen", including Jonathan Roumie, Paras Patel, Elizabeth Tabish, Noah James, Joey Vahedi, Yasmine Al-Bustami, Brandon Potter and George H. Xanthis.




The Chosen In the Wild with Bear Grylls is a six-episode unscripted adventure series, produced by The Natural Studios in association with Jenkins’ 5&2 Studios.

In it, celebrity survivalist and adventurer Bear Grylls (Running Wild with Bear Grylls) takes an immersive journey with the cast and creator of "The Chosen", providing a unique exploration of the global hit series.

In each episode, Grylls ventures into the wild with one cast member while exploring their personal stories and diving deeper into their own perspectives on the series and the characters they portray.




Other projects in development include a three-season series following Moses’ story, a limited series featuring the life of Joseph, and the next chapter following The Chosen with the Acts of the Apostles.

Jenkins’ newly launched production company 5&2 Studios produces the projects.

As part of an expansive deal between Amazon MGM Studios and "The Chosen" creator Dallas Jenkins’ 5&2 Studios, Prime Video will have exclusive dibs on 5&2 Studios’ new unscripted series The Chosen in the Wild with Bear Grylls.

The six-episode unscripted series is described as: “From Judas to Jesus, Bear Grylls — renowned adventurer, and author of the faith-based bestseller Soul Fuel and the upcoming The Greatest Story Ever Told — takes the cast of The Chosen, as well as director Dallas Jenkins, on their own adventures into the wilderness. Bear Grylls will find out exactly what makes his guests tick, explore their personal journeys, and push them to their ultimate limits.”
