Angel Studio not only has a hit movie, Sound of Freedom, tearing up the box office in theaters across America, one of its TV series, The Chosen, is doing the same thing on PrimeVideo, God TV reports.

The Chosen, the first season of this down-to-earth portrayal of Jesus and His disciples was created in 2017 and quickly became popular among Christians.

With actor Jonathan Roumie playing Christ, it closely follows the story of Jesus recorded in the Gospels. However, it portrays the disciples as quirky and fallible adding a sense of realism and humor to the story.

According to a recent Instagram Post, after being picked up on PrimeVideo, it is now the third most-watched multi-series show on the popular streaming platform.

And with its viewership numbers still climbing, the producers commented, “we’re coming for you, Jim, Er, Jack,” which may be a veiled reference to Prime’s popular TV series, Jack Ryan. John Krasinski who played Jack Ryan in the Prime series also played Jim in NBC’s hit TV show, The Office.

The Chosen has become a global hit and has been viewed in part by 110 million people in over 175 countries since its inception.

In 2022, Angel Studio released the first two shows of season three in theaters resulting in $10 million in sales the first weekend ahead of several hit movies. This was a remarkable achievement considering it is available for free on the Angel app and as well on several streaming services.

The final two shows of season three were released in theaters in February 2023 where it came in as the ninth most popular movie in America on the only weekend it was released.

In July, The Chosen was also picked up by cable television’s CW Network. According to the Christian Post, in its first week, The Chosen was one of the network’s top-watched shows, beating out other classics such as Riverside and Nancy Drew.
