Last year, Jenkins shared that “Joseph of Egypt” would cover some of the backstory of Jacob, Rachel, and Leah. “We’re going to get into the birth of the twelve brothers, and, of course, the forbearers of the twelve tribes of Israel.” Jenkins added, “I can’t wait to show you the next steps in that, so pray for us right now, because as we speak, some of those scripts are being worked on.”
Joseph will be played by Adam Hashmi, and the show is written and executive produced by Craig Wright (“Lost,” “Mr. Peabody & Sherman”). The series will also feature Alexander Siddig (“Foundation,” “Shantaram”) as Jacob, Babak Tafti (“Succession,” “Billions”) as Simeon, Daniel Peera (“The Cleaning Lady,” “NCIS”) as Reuben, and Iris Bahr (“Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Svetlana”) as Leah.

Earlier this year, Amazon MGM Studios and 5&2 Studios announced a deal that gave Prime Video streaming rights to previous and future seasons of “The Chosen.”
Dallas Jenkins, Ryan Swanson, Brad Pelo, Mark Sourian, and Tyler Thompson will serve as executive producers of “Joseph of Egypt.”
While no release date for the Joseph series has been announced, the final season of “The Chosen” is scheduled to be released in March 2028, so speculation is that the Joseph series will be some time before then.
