The Chosen: Jonathan & Jesus is a four-part, soul-stirring docuseries that follows Jonathan Roumie—beloved for his portrayal of Jesus in The Chosen—on a vulnerable, real-world journey beyond the set. Blending intimate travel, spiritual reflection, and candid conversations, this series pulls back the curtain on the man behind the Messiah, tracing a pilgrimage that leads through Washington D.C., Paris, Rome, London, and New York. Along the way, Jonathan meets global faith leaders including Pope Francis, Francis Chan, and Nicky Gumbel, confronting a central truth: the church is called to unity, love, and grace in a world divided by ego and criticism. On the streets with Peter Dewit of Serve the City Paris and advocates like Anu George, Jonathan witnesses faith lived out in action—through service, compassion, and the restoration of dignity. As fame intensifies, he faces the weight of being seen as Jesus by millions, learning with acting coach Anthony Bova to release perfection, embrace vulnerability, and turn his craft into a living prayer. Through encounters with seekers, refugees, leaders, and old friends, the role becomes a calling and the narrative becomes a quiet resurrection of the heart—where scarcity turns to provision and stories of redemption unfold. Raw, honest, and beautifully reflective, The Chosen: Jonathan & Jesus is essential viewing for fans of The Chosen, faith-based documentaries, and anyone drawn to authentic stories of purpose, identity, and grace.
