The Chosen Season 3 episode 1 was planned to release in the final quarter of 2022 and it seems that the holy drama television series will make it on the time. The holy television series follows the teachings from Jesus of Nazareth and miracles witnessed by the disciples as Matthew and Mark.
Season 1 and 2 of The Chosen have been met with critical acclaim for its beautiful story and accurate portrayal of Jesus Christ’s life. More than 150 million people have watched the series by the time Season 2 ended in June 2021.
Anyone can follow Jesus Christ but becoming like him in real life is nearly impossible today. The Chosen is a historical drama series directed and written by Dallas Jenkins based on the life of Jesus and the stories associated with him in Jerusalem and other regions where he traveled along with disciples.
The Chosen Season 3 Release Date and Time
The wait is over folks, the release date for the Chosen Season 3 has been finally revealed by director DJ in the recent livestream. Finally, the most awaited epic historical series is returning with a new season on 18 November 2022.
Dallas shared some more updates regarding the filming of season 3 which is almost completed. A few more shots are left to wrap up the filming that has been going since May 2022. Want some Spoilers?
We will see Jesus celebrating Jewish new year in the upcoming episodes along with some flashback scenes of Mary Magdalene. You can clearly see the sadness in the scene if you have watched the livestream on 21 Sep.
DJ said that they are also planning to begin the filming for season 4 in early 2023 and then we will be able to see a new season of The Chosen every year. Currently, production team is editing the raw clips and turning them into a masterpiece.
Since the post production is going on side by side, we can expect to see three new episodes every month after the grand premiere on silver screens in Nov 2022.
All the crowdfunds go straight into the production and helps in the revival of The Chosen for new episodes. Thousands of people watch The Chosen every month, out of which, only 3% users choose to pay it forward and that’s okay.
The show is surviving because of the kindness of people who contributes something. Even though, the creators will not bother anyone who watch it for free because the series is not about money but changing lives. The series is really popular among Jesus lovers because of its true depiction and realistic approach to the bible stories.
Season 3 will also have a total of eight holy episodes with an average runtime of 45 minutes and all of them will become available for VidAngel subscribers and the Chosen app users.
The pilot episode was released in Dec 2017. Then, first season of The Chosen came out in April 2019 while the second season started premiering in April 2021.
Is Season 3 of the Chosen confirmed?
The renewal was announced in Dec 2021 and the principal filming began in the first week of May and wrapped up in Sep 2022. The third season will follow the same pattern as the previous two seasons with an average of eight episodes and it will pick up the story right where Season 2 left off, with Jesus Christ’s disciples trying to figure out what to do next after he is apprehended by the Romans.
The Chosen Season 3 Episode 1 Recap
A small four minute scene was shown in the recent livestream of The Chosen. That was a rough cut from the opening of season 3. It shows flashback scenes where Matthew is shown talking to his father, Alphaeus.
This also answers to our question why Matthew’s father disowned him. It was because Matthew was supporting the tax collectors and helping enemies to slay his own people. He was building huge wealth for himself without caring for his people.
That’s why people despised him and his father decided to disown him because Matthew has bring shame to the family.

The Chosen Season 3 Plot
The ending of The Chosen Season 2 concludes with the preparation of Sermon and disciples arguing each other on the disappearance of Jesus. A high ranking Sanhedrin member was completely stunned on seeing the Shmuel’s report of Jesus while thousands of people arrive at the sermon to play their part.
The Chosen Season 3 will continue to explore more stories from the gospels and provide insight into Jesus Christ’s life and ministry. The all-star cast is expected to return for the third season.
Pharisees and Quintus will try to assassinate one of the closest disciple of Christ and slowly find Jesus as the main threat to the fall of Roman government. However, the disciples come under their way and will rebel against the actions of roman emperors.
On the other hand, John will be seen entering Jerusalem and get arrested for raising his voice against the wrong deeds of evil King but he will be executed ruthlessly by Herod. However, he will not be spared after that and God will punish him and take revenge of his lovely disciple, John The Baptist.

Hello, I have a question… In the first paragraph of the article it says, “The Chosen Season 3 episode 1 is set to release in final quarter of 2022.” Later in the article it states, “we can expect The Chosen Season 3 to be released around February 2023.” Which statement is accurate? Thanks!
It can come anytime between November 2022 to February 2023.
Moving release dates and such, I finally lost interest in this series
The feeling is mutual Kevin.
Not only have I not lost interest in the chosen, I am on my fourth time around watching seasons 1 and 2.
Your words are really inspiring.
Everytime I see the clip of the Beatitudes, I break down and cry. Am I missing the point somehow?
I recorded every episode and rewatch them constantly. Helps me with my own Bible reading. Powerful portrayals and characters recognized by those of us who read the Bible and came with impressions of each Apostle and Jesus. Excellent and moving production! Can’t wait til Season 3.
Thanks for kind words.
I have found this is one of the most moving descriptions m the character of Jesus. This series seems more realistic than any I have ever seen. It follows the scriptures really well without all the Hollywood drama. I am a Jehovah’s Witness and I generally steer clear of some of the biblical shows because they add stuff that was not always following the scriptures. Actually, that is what many religions today have actually done as well, but Season 1 anD Season 2 have drawn me closer to Jesus and his disciples. They seem very human, more on our level. Plus it is interesting how young the apostles look from most portrayals. Yet in addition to his superior knowledge, Jesus appears so much older and wiser even though he may have been closer in age to the apostles.
He was only 33 years old at the time of his death. I loved the scene with Nicodemus and how sad Jesus looked when he did not follow him.
<3
I pray that this series speaks to millions around the world and they are receiving the love of Christ.
Praise God in the mighty name of Jesus Christ
Great series! Makes Christ and His disciples come alive. This day and age, we need to be looking for the signs of Christ’s return! It’s happening people! Know your Bible! Look at what is happening in the Middle East. Currency is changing, evil is alive and in Washington DC.
I just finished the gen z documentary
I’d really like to know where they are with Christ a year or so later, and how this series has helped them (or not).
I did notice that one young man did not have much to say about his life or the videos, I pray that God is still moving mightily in all of our lives
I watch The Chosen everyday. I just keep it playing 16 hours a day. Its difficult to keep my mind on God unless I do this but in doing this I feel I can keep my sanity. I tell everyone to do this. I have narcicist in my family who cant watch any of the episodes “because Jesus kissed Mary.” he said. I told him Ive watched each episode atleast 25 times and Ive never seen that but that is his excuse for not letting my mother watch it. Unfricken real
The Chosen has been my Saving Grace through the hardest time of my 65 years, a Blessing & an answer to my prayers! I watch over & over and truly cannot wait for Season 3. Thank you & God Bless
Dear Rosanne,
Tv shows & Movies are built to entertain people, never trust blindly on cinema. They usually twist the fact to make a show controversial so that it attracts more viewers and more money. Be motivated, Be devoted.
