DENVER — Loyal enthusiasts of the international hit TV series The Chosen, a Denver-area family jumped at the chance to play extras in an episode of the eagerly awaited third season, which launches this week.
Depicting Jesus’ life and ministry through the eyes of the people who knew him, the acclaimed show by creator-director Dallas Jenkins is the No. 1 crowdfunded TV series of all time. Highlands Ranch, Colorado, residents Claudia Cangilla McAdam, a writer, and her husband Gary McAdam, a business consultant, were among those who collectively contributed more than $40 million to produce the series thus far, making it possible to be watched for free via The Chosen app or website. A total of seven seasons are planned. The Chosen is also available on streaming services.
Last month, The Chosen won the top non-music prize at the 2022 Gospel Music Association Dove Awards for “Inspirational Film/Series of the Year.”
“We have watched both seasons multiple times — it is that good,” Claudia McAdam told the Register about the drama, which is based on the Gospels with fictionalized backstories added. “It’s a beautiful depiction of the life of Jesus. The backstories are plausible and rich and help you fall in love with the people who knew Jesus in the flesh and who gave us our faith, our Church.”
