A worldwide success, the series “The Chosen” will continue to be seen in theaters. According to the organizers, the fourth season is scheduled to be released in February next year, initially in the United States and Canada.
After the theatrical release, the series will also be available on streaming platforms, including The Chosen TV mobile app, as well as cable and broadcast TV channels.
Having already reached more than 500 million views in 175 countries, the expectation is that The Chosen: The Chosen, the fourth season, will achieve the same success as previous seasons.
Despite the wide acceptance, Christian leaders have issued some warnings about the series that portrays the person of Jesus in a more informal way, as well as his disciples. This is because the inclusion of statements and events that are not described in the Bible can mislead the viewer.
Pastor and theologian Ageu Magalhães, reverend at the Presbyterian Church of Vila Guarani, in São Paulo (SP), for example, made a comment indirectly dealing with the series. “In the arts there is ‘poetic license’. Not in the Bible. It never existed,” he said.
“What always existed was the commandment of fidelity: ‘You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you’. Deuteronomy 4.2”.
For the religious leader, “Biblical films, series and soap operas that add scenes and dialogues that are not in the sacred text are violating the Word of God.”
In addition to The Chosen, Ageu’s opinion also applies to content such as Rede Record’s soap operas, which are full of speeches and events not described in the Bible, which has also generated criticism from evangelical leaders.
Many, on the other hand, have interpreted The Chosen series as nothing more than a more relaxed production about the story of Jesus, where the main objective would not be to make a complete reproduction of the biblical text in its script, but rather to awaken the curiosity of the viewer about what Christ’s life might have been like on Earth, through his humanized perspective.
