Prime Video has handed a series order to The Chosen Adventures, an animated adventure comedy series about Jesus of Nazareth, from Amazon MGM Studios and Dallas Jenkins’ 5&2 Studios banner.

The series, which consists of 14 11-minute episodes, will premiere on Prime Video in the U.S. and internationally in the UK, Latin America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and Sub Saharan Africa. 

Written by Ryan Swanson (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. When the children encounter a wise craftsman and teacher, Jesus of Nazareth, he helps them change the way they see the world, and they help spread his influence far and wide (among the 7- to 12-year-old set). And did we mention that she has a talking sheep? 

The voice cast includes Paul Walter Hauser as Sheep, Yvonne Orji as Pigeon, Romy Fay as Abby, Jude Zarzaur as Joshua, Danny Nucci as Abba and Zehra Fazal as Eema. Other recurring and guest voice cast members include Jonathan Roumie as Jesus, Jordin Sparks as Fish, Paras Patel as Matthew, Elizabeth Tabish as Mary, Noah James as Andrew, Joey Vahedi as Thomas, George H. Xanthis as John, Yasmine Al-Bustami as Ramah, Brandon Potter as Quintus, Banks Pierce as Hilarius Maximus and Julian Grant as Cyrius Maximus.

Swanson serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner, with Jenkins executive producing under his 5&2 Studios banner. Chris Juen, Chad Gundersen, Keith Alcorn, Kellen Erskine, and Derral Eves also serve as executive producers, alongside producer Erin Elizabeth Gardner and co-producer Myesha Gosselin.

Earlier this year, Amazon MGM Studios inked a first-look multi-faceted deal with 5&2 Studios. It includes streaming rights to the first five seasons of The Chosen, the upcoming drama series, Joseph of Egypt, and the new unscripted series The Chosen in the Wild with Bear Grylls for Prime Video. The pact also includes theatrical and streaming rights to The Chosen’s upcoming final two seasons, which will follow the crucifixion (Season Six) and the resurrection (Season Seven). Lionsgate handles global distribution for The Chosen and The Chosen In The Wild with Bear Grylls.
