‘The Chosen’ Gets Exclusive U.S. Streaming Run at Prime Video Under New Expansive Deal With Amazon MGM Studios
'The Chosen' will move to an exclusive U.S. streaming run at Prime Video, under a new expansive deal with Amazon MGM Studios.
Amazon’s Prime VIdeo has landed exclusive U.S. streaming rights to Bible epic “ The Chosen,” as well as previously announced unscripted spinoff “The Chosen In The Wild with Bear Grylls.” It’s part of a new wide-ranging deal between series producer 5&2 Studios and Amazon MGM Studios, which also includes a theatrical release component for the next two installments of the hit series about the life of Jesus Christ, played by Jonathan Roumie. 5&2 Studios founder Dallas Jenkins had been looking at possibly bringing on an exclusive distribution partner for “The Chosen” ever since he was able to take over full ownership of the series. “Amazon MGM Studios is the perfect partner to take this already highly sought-after property to the next level,” said Lionsgate’s Jim Packer, president of worldwide television distribution.
