He said, “I have zero doubt nor issue with the fact that some just won’t like it.”
Why People Are Talking About It
People are talking about the angels for a few reasons. First, it is a big first for the show. The Chosen has run for five seasons. It has never shown angels before. Second, the angels look different from what many people expect. They are culturally diverse. They shimmer. They look like warriors. Third, the idea came from the Bible. Writer Tyler Thompson was working on the first episode of season 6. He read Matthew 26:53. In that verse, Jesus says his Father could give him more than twelve legions of angels. A legion is a very large group. Thompson asked a simple question. What if viewers could see the angels, ready to help, and then told not to? That idea grew into the scene. The writers also thought about the earthquake, the torn temple curtain and the darkness that came with Jesus’ death. The team felt the wall between heaven and earth was being peeled back.
What Happens Next
Season 6 is coming soon. Fans will get to see the angels in the full story. Jenkins wants people to watch first. Then they can make up their minds. The show’s team spent a long time on the angel designs. Production designer James Cunningham said they went through many versions. He said it was an ambitious move. He also said people reacted really well to it. Jenkins has said before that The Chosen is not meant to replace the Bible. He wants the show to point people to the Bible.
Final Thoughts
The angels in The Chosen season 6 got people talking. That is what Jenkins wanted. He made a bold choice, and he knows some fans will not like it. He wants fans to watch the whole season. Then they can decide. Season 6 is on the way. Fans will be watching.
