Fans of the series, though, would call it providential.
In 2019, the series’ first season had its share of admirers but had yet to reach the viral status — much less the funding — it now enjoys. Then, the 2020 pandemic hit. In March of that year, the company behind The Chosen placed Season 1 online for free. Viewership soared. That led to more donations. It also led to more seasons.
Brad Pelo, president of The Chosen, believes the pandemic was critical to its current success.
