Per the official logline for "The Chosen Adventures," the show "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 Chosen Adventures stars 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: "The Chosen" star 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.
Ryan Swanson serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. Dallas Jenkins executive produces under the 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.
Jenkins had originally revealed plans for "The Chosen Adventures" in an interview with Variety in 2024. The show falls under Jenkins' and 5&2's multi-faceted deal with Amazon MGM Studios, which was announced in February along with Amazon's acquisition of exclusive U.S. streaming rights to and a theatrical release of new installments of "The Chosen." 5&2 also recently landed a greenlight for the series "Joseph of Egypt" at Prime Video.
News of the animated series order comes on the same day that Amazon announced the launch date for the Wonder Project subscription offering on Prime Video. The launch coincides with the second season premiere of the Biblical series "House of David," which is produced by Wonder Project.
