The Chosen Season 4 Set for Theatrical Premiere, The CW’s Plans TBD — Watch Trailer

Matt Webb Mitovich

As The CW’s back-to-back-to-back airing of The Chosen‘s first three seasons continues each Sunday night, we now have news on Season 4.

In what is being touted as a “first” for a streaming series, the complete fourth season of The Chosen will first be released exclusively in theaters, distributed by Fathom Events. (Last season, only the first and final episodes of The Chosen played in theaters.)

Seasons 1 through 3 of the faith-based drama have been airing on The CW every Sunday at 8/7c, with the Season 3 finale set to land on Christmas Eve.

Season 4’s theatrical rollout will begin with a two-week run of Episodes 1-3 beginning Feb. 1, 2024, followed by Episodes 4-6 (on Feb. 15) and Episodes 7-8 (on Feb. 29), all via Fathom Events screenings in the U.S. and Canada.

Episodes will also be released in theaters in LATAM, the UK, Poland, Australia and New Zealand (via a consortium of distributors).

Once the full-season run in theaters concludes, The Chosen will announce a premiere date for streaming platforms including The Chosen TV and mobile apps, broadcast and cable TV. (The CW has yet to confirm any plans to air Season 4.)

“Clashing kingdoms. Rival rulers. The enemies of Jesus close in while His followers struggle to keep up, leaving Him to carry the burden alone,” reads the synopsis for Season 4; watch a teaser trailer above. “Season 4 promises to deliver where last season’s emotional [Bible spoiler] finale left off.”

“Every time we’ve dipped our toes in the theatrical waters, viewers have overwhelmingly told us they want more,” The Chosen creator (little C) Dallas Jenkins said in a statement. “After seeing the Season 4 episodes, we knew we’d be doing our fans a disservice if we denied them the chance to see them all on a big screen with others they can laugh and cry with.”
