“The Chosen Adventures,” the new animated series from the writers of “The Chosen,” released an official trailer ahead of its Oct. 17 Prime Video debut.
The new series stars Jonathan Roumie (“The Chosen”) as Jesus, Romy Fay as Abby, Paul Walter Hauser (“Black Bird,” “Richard Jewell,” “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”) as Sheep, Elizabeth Tabish (“The Chosen,” “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever”) as Mary Magdalene, Yvonne Orji (“Night School”) as Pigeon, Danny Nucci (“The Rock”) as Abba, and Jordin Sparks (“Left Behind”) as Fish. Many others, including Paras Patel, Brandon Potter, Noah James, and George H. Xanthis, voice their respective characters from “The Chosen.”
“‘The Chosen Adventures‘ follows nine-year-old Abby and her best friend Joshua as they navigate life in the ancient city of Capernaum,” the series synopsis explains. “When the children encounter a wise craftsman and teacher, Jesus of Nazareth, he changes the way they see the world. And did we mention that she has a talking sheep?”
Dallas Jenkins, creator, writer, and director of “The Chosen,” said that “when we were first devising Season 1, I remember specifically saying, ‘I’d love to do an episode were we are really spending time with Jesus and we are seeing him through the eyes of children.’”
Season 1 does in fact feature such an episode. Abby and Joshua are characters from “The Chosen” who are first depicted in Season 1 in an episode titled “Jesus Loves the Little Children.”
“We did have this thought of, ‘Boy it would be interesting to kind of dive deeper,’” Jenkins continued. “Like what happens to those kids after they’ve met Jesus.”

Creator, executive producer, and writer Ryan Swanson, who is also executive producer and co-writer of “The Chosen,” said, “So what this show offers me the opportunity to do is to give you a break and to say, have an enjoyable walk with Jesus.”
Jenkins added, “That’s what the animated series can do…now kids can see Jesus through the eyes of kids.”
