Katherine Warnock, the vice president of original content with The Chosen, shared details of the new survey with ChristianHeadlines.
“We recently had some data come through that showed about half [of viewers] were either practicing Christians or cultural Christians. And then the other half were either curious about Christianity or just no Christian faith. And we were deeply surprised about that,” Warnock told ChristianHeadlines.
The faith data wasn’t the only surprising part of the survey, she said.
“We were also surprised about the level of Gen Z and younger that were consuming our show — because our core audience is definitely millennial and older,” she said. “But just to see not only the balance between female and males watching our show, which is wonderful — because the church is definitely not that balanced at times — and then to see the younger generation but also the non-Christian faith audience come to the table has been a joy.”
Creator Dallas Jenkins and his writing team, she said, have a goal of reaching every demographic.
“When Dallas and the writers say, ‘Hey, we want the world to be introduced to the authentic Jesus’ — they mean it,” Warnock said.
The Jesus of the Bible, she noted, attracted “all types of people and worldviews.” Warnock and her team recently heard from a fan of the series who is an agnostic and said he often weeps when watching.
