Netflix has released a teaser trailer for their intense religious dramatic thriller series, The Chosen One, an adaptation of Mark Millar and Peter Gross‘s comic book series, American Jesus. Released back in 2004 under the name Chosen, the comic book followed a twelve-year-old boy who discovers he has the powers of Jesus Christ, and is destined to face the Antichrist.
The series stars Tenoch Huerta (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) and Dianna Agron (Glee), with Everado Gout (Marvel’s Luke Cage) directing the series, and co-showrunning with Leopoldo Gout (Molly’s Game).
The full synopsis reads:
Jodie, a twelve-year-old boy in Baja California, suddenly discovers he has Jesus-like powers: he can turn water into wine, make the crippled walk, and, perhaps, even raise the dead! As the Evangelical and the Yaquí leaders in town try to get him to use his powers to save mankind, all Jodie wants to do is impress the girl he likes and stand up to his bullies. As Jodie struggles and eventually comes to terms with his destiny, everything gets thrown for a loop when he realizes he discovers the truth around his identity.
This looks really interesting and like nothing we’ve seen before. Check out the brief trailer below, and let us know what you think. Are you a fan of the comics?
The Chosen One hits Netflix on August 16th.
