Release date: TBA

Jenkins compares Moses’ story to The SopranosClaiming that the story of the Hebrew prophet has more “pop culture, historical moments, and phrases and images” than anything else in the Bible. Jenkins is already planning to tell Moses’ story over three seasons. With eight to ten episodes in each installment. Each season of the untitled Moses spin-off will also revolve around one “era” of Moses’ life. As Jenkins explains:
“One is the salvation of Egypt. Two is the parting of the Red Sea, the escape, the exodus from Egypt and the progression to the promised land. And then the third season would be after the 40 years of wandering in the desert, like them” If he will really capture the promised land, Moses did not get a chance to experience it.
Because The Chosen will finally end with seven seasons, Jenkins apparently wants to develop shows with fewer seasons. That way, it won’t take years for the spinoffs to complete, and the filmmaker can focus on telling as many stories as possible. Jenkins’ mindset makes sense, especially given how many ideas he has for The Chosen Universe.
