The hit series ‘The Chosen’ has achieved a new historic milestone, officially entering the Guinness Book of World Records for being the most translated season of a streaming series. The announcement solidifies the show’s massive global reach and its pioneering approach to religious storytelling.
For decades, faith-based television was often associated with stiff acting and thinly veiled sermons. However, Dallas Jenkins’ series, which first aired in 2019, completely upended that perception. By portraying Jesus as a relatable, humorous, and deeply human character—one who laughs, argues, and genuinely connects with his disciples—’The Chosen’ successfully bridged the gap between Biblical drama and prestige television.
The record-breaking achievement belongs to Season 5 of the series, which is currently available in a stunning 50 languages.
- Dubbed: 36 languages
- Subtitled: 14 languages
This remarkable translation effort means viewers can watch the life of Christ unfolding in languages ranging from Hindi and Italian to Greek, Albanian, and Thai. The expansive translation project ensures that the show’s message and production quality are accessible to audiences across nearly every continent.
The record is a testament to the show’s innovative distribution model and its ability to connect with diverse cultures, proving that high-quality, authentic storytelling can transcend language and cultural barriers to become a global streaming phenomenon.
