James Barnett, CEO of Come and See, credited the popularity of “The Chosen” to people who are “hungry for truth” and “looking for answers.” The series is a “phenomenon of our generation,” he added, because “it really brings out the humanity of Jesus, and people connect with it around the world.”

Originally, Come and See expected the 600-language mark to include 100 dubbed languages and 500 with closed captions. But thanks to AI technology, Barnett said, the organization now hopes to provide the series in several hundred dubbed languages.
