Instead of “Want to Netflix and chill?” streaming service clients can now ask, “How about Netflix and Jesus”?

That second query now applies, at the least so far as the primary season of “The Chosen,” the sleeper hit drama concerning the lifetime of Jesus is worried.

Word broke Tuesday that Netflix “quietly” gained the best to stream these first eight episodes within the United States through an on-line publish by blogger Kasey Moore at “What’s on Netflix,” a British-based web site. According to that report, “The Chosen” was first made out there on Sept. 11.

It’s unknown whether or not or when Netflix will achieve the opposite two seasons already out there, or the episodes slated for season 4, at present in manufacturing.

Created by evangelical Christian author and filmmaker Dallas Jenkins, “The Chosen” presents the story of Jesus and the disciples in a relatable format. At first out there at an internet site and app created by Angel Studios, the collection has since develop into out there on Amazon’s Prime Video platform and different providers.

Broadcast rights for the collection, projected to run over a course of seven years, not too long ago went to The CW community, whereas Hollywood powerhouse Lionsgate scored worldwide distribution rights earlier this 12 months.

Availability on Netflix provides one other layer to the collection’ success. The streaming service boasts 75.57 million clients within the U.S. and Canada, greater than one-third of the corporate’s world subscribers.
