‘The Chosen’ Creator Reveals Show Halted Filming New Season After Just Four Episodes

The wildly popular show “The Chosen” is being forced to stop filming its fourth season due to the Screen Actor’s Guild strike.

Dallas Jenkins, the creator of the Christian show that depicts the life of Jesus, announced the news in a Thursday night Facebook post.

“Unfortunately, despite the requested work we did on our end, an exemption for us will not be granted in time to avoid a shutdown,” he began.

“We will do a little filming tomorrow of everything that doesn’t require our cast, and then we’ll wait and hope that either the strike ends (unlikely soon), or that we’re granted an exemption and can resume filming.”

Jenkins concluded with a message that while it is disappointing, God will provide.

“Yes, it’s upsetting and will cost time and money…but we bring our five loaves and two fish. God handles the rest.”

📺 Embedded media — coming soon

Jenkins previously stated the first few episodes of season four are ready for their big debut. (The third season is currently airing.)

“Worst case scenario…we have already filmed everything from the first four episodes,” he said, “so even if the remainder of filming is delayed, the editing and release of the first four won’t be.”
