It sounds like the set-up to a bad joke. An Evangelical, a Catholic and a Jew walk into a Mormon recreation of first-century Jerusalem. But itâs not too far from what Dallas Jenkins has achieved with a multiseason series about the life of Jesus, called The Chosen.
The Chosen is the most successful online series you have never heard of. Its first season raised more money than any crowd-funded entertainment project ever, $10 million from over 19,000 people. The second season equalled that. It has been released in more than 180 countries via a dedicated free app, thechosen.tv/app, and has been translated into 50 languages.

Dallas Jenkins stood with his arms crossed, facing the sunrise, a swath of orange clouds brushing the blue-gray mountains and yellow sky. Behind him, an ancient city unfurled. Or rather, a simulacrum of an ancient city. It represented Jerusalem of old, a deconstructed, biblical megalopolis, complete with a Styrofoam-stone dome and wooden beams connecting disparate building facades. On this July morning in 2020, the film set was empty. Dirt roads opened into silent, pillared courtyards. Metal-studded doors were left ajar and pretend fire pits went untended. Positioned on 800 acres in Goshen, Utah, some 60 miles south of Salt Lake City, the set itself spans the size of two football fields. It was the perfect place for Jenkins to film Season 2 of his TV series about the life of Jesus, “The Chosen” if only he could get permission to shoot there.
Surat: The consumer court in Navsari has ordered a private insurance company to pay the mediclaim amount to a 52-year-old woman who had undergone treatment for Arnold Chiari malformation, a structural defect in the base of skull and cerebellum.
The insurer, Oriental Insurance Co., had rejected the claim of Navsari resident Paras Patel on the grounds that the condition for which she took the treatment fell under ‘genetic disease’ category, which is exempted from the policy clause.
Patel had purchased mediclaim policy of Rs one lakh for the period of one year starting December 2018. On January 16, 2019, she suffered back pain and underwent surgery at a private hospital in Surat. She then filed her claim for treatment cost of Rs 1.66 lakh incurred.
