Upcoming installments of The Chosen storylines will not be limited to the six episodes of season six premiering this Sunday, in Italy available for streaming on Prime Video. The universe of the popular series about the life and works of Jesus, created by Dallas Jenkins, will continue to expand with a new Christmas special centered on the Magi, scheduled for release on December 14. In the cast are Taye Diggs (All American), Piter Marek (The Blacklist) and Rahul Rai (A Man on the Inside), portraying respectively Balthazar, Melchior and Gaspar.
The Chosen: In December a Christmas Special About the Magi
In The Chosen: The Three Kings, an incredibly intense light shines over the small town of Bethlehem, reaching even distant lands. For three kings, however, it represents the fulfillment of a prophecy announcing the birth of a new ruler. Fearing a change of regime or even death, the trio undertakes a perilous journey to pay homage to the newborn king. But, once they arrive at their destination, they will make a shocking discovery destined to change their lives and the entire world forever.
In the Christmas special, Sara Anne Burciaga and Raj Bond will also appear, again in the young versions of Mary and Joseph. The Three Kings will be the concluding act of the Christmas trilogy that began even before the series with The Shepherd, the story of a marginalized shepherd who witnesses the birth of Jesus and grasps the meaning of the angels’ announcement, and continued with The Messengers, which recounts the Nativity events through Mary and Joseph’s eyes, and will precede the two-part finale of season six dedicated to the Crucifixion that will debut in cinemas in the spring of 2027.
“The Christmas episode we will present in December is closely tied to what you will see in season six,” explained Jenkins. “Some of the plots in season six unfold right within this episode. It isn’t content that stands alone or detached from the series: it is a piece that fits perfectly into the flow of season six and season seven. Furthermore, some elements of season six will find their culmination in this Christmas special, which, in turn, will lay the groundwork for the film about the Crucifixion, scheduled to release in early 2027. It is a remarkable thing.”
