Hello, The Chosen Fans. I've been trying to find news on The Chosen 4 and all I'm finding is that the legal issue is still an issue and filming for Season 5 gets underway in four days. Good grief. Angel Studios is suing The Chosen Inc. Not sure of the details of why but I'm sure it boils down to money.
Are we not striving as a Faith Based Entertainment world to be above all that? To do it better than the greedy Hollywood studios? Isn't getting the message of The Chosen out there more important than fighting over money? It has something to do with the fact that when The Chosen Inc chose to part ways with Angel Studios, they took with them one employee who is now the CEO of The Chosen Inc. That person suggested having Angel Studios removed from the opening credits for its TV release and any future seasons. Which means Angel Studios will no longer get a kickback which will mean a huge loss of money for them, and they don't wish to give up their piece of The Chosen pie. So, they sued. The Chosen Inc is prevented from even dropping the Season 4 episodes on their own app until the "legal issue" is resolved. The show is owned by Dallas Jenkins and The Chosen Inc. The app is owned by Dallas Jenkins and The Chosen Inc. How is this possible? There might be, and probably is, more to it than that but this is what I've derived from reading several articles on the subject. So frustrating. A comment from the article... "the goal is to get The Chosen in front of as many people as possible" but all this legal problem is preventing Dallas and his team from getting it in front of his biggest fans. Those who love the livestreams and have since the beginning and have been waiting patiently for them to happen. While the rest of the world got to experience Season 4 before Easter, those of us who chose to wait for The Livestreams are being left out. I fully regret now that I didn't just go to the movies. But... too late now and I'm stuck. Whatever happened to The Chosen will always be free to stream no matter what? I don't know enough about the legal matter to know who is in the right and who is in the wrong. I just want to see Season 4 and am frustrated FOR Dallas and his team that they are being attacked like this by the ONE studio, Angel Studios, that should be on the same page with them on the overall mission of getting the show out to as many people as possible. I'm saying this not knowing really anything about the full scope of the issue. Angel Studios has done some wonderful work recently. Getting "Sound of Freedom" into theaters was a HUGE win. "The Shift". "Cabrini". Two movies I'd like to see and have heard good things about. However, I WILL say that I AM frustrated with them insisting on an Angel Guild subscription to watch anything on the Angel Studios app right now. Perhaps this is part of the issue with The Chosen. Dallas Jenkins has stated many times that "The Chosen" will always be free to stream on the app. He won't make people pay a subscription to watch it on their app. Angel Studios has proven they will. Don't get me wrong. I do not feel like this is the fault of Dallas and his team. And I want to believe that Angel Studios is NOT just being a greedy disruptor causing problems for the future success of The Chosen. I'm sure it will be resolved at some point. I'm just upset with how long it is taking to happen. And I admit, just knowing that there is a fight like this over money over a show that was never supposed to be ABOUT the money is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Get your priorities straight, folks. Prayers for Dallas and his team and for a quick resolution to the issue. Help the TRUTH of the matter to be exposed and resolved because in the end... TRUTH and the Message of Jesus is all that really matters. As soon as I know a date for a livestream of Season 4 on The Chosen App, I will make an announcement. Praying that is soon.
