What is The Chosen Adventures about?
A description from Prime Video reads: “Nine-year-old Abby is looking for adventure-and she always finds it, whether Joshua wants her to or not.
“Tag along as she makes friends, dodges trouble, and learns from a bold new teacher, Jesus of Nazareth.”
A trailer for the sweet series dropped back in September and shows the children stumbling across Jesus as he fills them with wonder about the world. In turn, they ask him many questions about life and God.
Speaking about The Chosen Adventures, The Chosen’s creator Dallas Jenkins explained how the idea was born out of the popularity of episode three of season one of The Chosen among younger audiences.
Jenkins said: “When we were first devising season one, I remember specifically saying, ‘I’d love to do an episode where we’re really spending time with Jesus and we’re really seeing him through the eyes of children.’
“We did have this thought of, it would be interesting to dive deeper. What happens to those kids after they’ve met Jesus?”
The Chosen Adventures is released on October 17
