About The Chosen
The Chosen is an American historical drama that follows Jesus of Nazareth through the people around him, created, directed, and co-written by Dallas Jenkins for 5&2 Studios, with Jonathan Roumie in the lead role that still drives the YouTube recaps.
Wikipedia places Season 1 on VidAngel from April 21 to November 26 2019 after a crowdfund that raised 11 million dollars from more than 16,000 investors. Five seasons totaling 42 episodes are out. Prime Video and 5&2 Studios, in an April 3 2026 press release, said Season 6 premieres on November 15 2026, with three episodes that day and weekly episodes through December 6, then a theatrical finale in spring 2027. The same release puts viewership above 300 million. Deadline, in May 2025, reported theatrical runs of Seasons 3 through 5 at more than 140 million dollars worldwide. People still open YouTube for free episodes and live recaps.

Why the page charts YouTube
A show people watch, recap, and livestream should be tracked on YouTube first, and YouTube for the chosen clears both the 7-day plus 20 percent bar and the 30-day plus 25 percent bar while Google Search for the same keyword fails every window from a 28 print.
Google Search for the chosen is 28 on October 17, up 16.67% from 24 on October 10 and down 3.45% from 29 on September 19. The 7-day print fails +20%. The 30-day print fails +25%. The 1-year print is 0.0% from 28, which fails +15%. Search is a flat, mid-20s query. YouTube is the watch.
YouTube is the story source: 34 to 45 in the frozen weekly series over 7 days, 31 to 45 in 30 days, 35 to 45 in 1 year (+28.57%), 261 weekly points. Same-day get_growth on youtube, 30-day window, puts coraline at 91 (+111.63% from 43), South Park at 46 (+100.0% from 23), american horror story at 46 (+15.0% from 40), Ted Lasso at 29 (-9.38% from 32), and house of the dragon at 4 (-20.0% from 5). Source context: YouTube search data.
get_time_series with source youtube and keyword the chosen is the call behind the chart. get_growth on the same pair, windows 7D, 30D, and 1Y, is the headline math: 34 to 45 (+32.35%), 31 to 45 (+45.16%), and 35 to 45 (+28.57%). Mixing the Google Search 28 with the YouTube 45 would invent a story the APIs do not tell.
