The global phenomenon The Chosen has once again made history, breaking its own Guinness World Records title for the most translated season of a streaming television series. The milestone highlights the show's rapidly expanding global reach and its mission to share the story of Jesus with audiences around the world.

The record was officially recognized during ChosenCon, where series creator Dallas Jenkins celebrated the achievement alongside cast and fans. The series increased its translations from 86 languages to 125 languages, representing nearly a 50 percent expansion in accessibility in just a few months.

Starring Jonathan Roumie as Jesus, The Chosen has become one of the most widely viewed faith-based television series in history. Since its debut, the show has reached hundreds of millions of viewers globally, streaming through its official app and other platforms.

The translation effort is led by the Come and See Foundation, which is working to make the series available in 600 languages so that nearly 95% of the world's population can experience the story of Jesus in their own language. The initiative brings together linguists, theologians, pastors, and biblical scholars to ensure that translations remain both accurate and culturally meaningful.

According to Jenkins, the growing number of languages represents more than a technical achievement. It reflects the series' core vision of making the life and teachings of Jesus accessible to people everywhere.

With multiple seasons already released and additional installments planned, The Chosen continues to expand its global footprint, reaching new audiences and setting new milestones in faith-based storytelling.
