Latter-Day Saint filmmakers are planning a new TV series inspired by ‘The Chosen’, except instead of featuring Jesus in the Gospels, it will feature characters and stories from the Book of Mormon.
According to the promo material, the TV series The Promised, created by Ashley Troncoso, “aims to unite faith-based and secular audiences through the highest-quality scripture series ever made” by having similar production values as Dallas Jenkin’s mega-hit Jesus show.
Described as a story “as inspired as The Chosen, as epic as The Lord of the Rings, and as gritty as Apocalypto,” the series will take place “600 years before the coming of Christ” where “Amidst the Neo-Babylonian siege of Ancient Jerusalem, two Judahite families band together in faith as they seek the fulfillment of God’s promises to the House of Jacob.”
The series delves into the story of Lehi, a Hebrew Prophet who, according to the Book of Mormon, was a descendant of Joseph of Egypt.
According to their heretical and plagiarized unholy scriptures that were written by the scoundrel Joseph Smit, h during the reign of King Zedekiah (approximately 600 BC), Lehi led his family out of Jerusalem after the people rebelled against his message and tried to kill him.
Like Noah, taking his family Nephi, Sariah, Laman, Lemuel, and others with him, they built a boat and sailed it across the ocean, landing in North America and establishing the land.
Troncoso says that “Season one is kind of a prequel to the Book of Mormon, the end of the last scene of the last episode is Lehi’s family leaving Jerusalem.” They have made a teaser available, which they hope will drum up interest and investors, and had a table read for the first episode just a few days ago. They are aiming for a 2027 release date.
I’ll probably miss it - I think I have to wash the car or organize my sock drawer on that day.
Not surprised as The Chosen has been utilizing the Mormon built sets in Utah.
After season 3, Angel Studios and the producers of The Chosen had a falling out. Choosing Utah may have been a financial necessity, but that’s just a WAG
Didn’t South Park already do a Book of Mormon show?
Not surprised either
Will Brigham Young be gay and black? Might as well go full woke.
I would like to see the voyage they would have taken over the Pacific Ocean. Kon Tiki was a great book, I would like to see this voyage explained.
South Park gave me all i need to know about Mormons and Scientology
The Mormons ain't the ones trying to force the rest of us to bow to the gods of gay sex, pedo, and socialism. The most pervasive cult in America is the political left. That's where our focus should stay.

Dear Mormons, wait, before you leave the pews
I have an article in the Deseret News
It explains how back in ancient Nephite times
They didn’t have horses, so they had to be tapirback riders
Tapirback rider
It might be hard for you to get this thing
It’s an explanation known as “loan shifting”
Joseph didn’t know what a tapir was
So he said they rode horses,
but they really all were tapirback riders

You might be thinking something isn’t right
Was the Book of Mormon translation loose or tight?
If cureloms, cumoms, and senines are words
Then why couldn’t Joseph just have used the term “tapirback riders?”

I warn you, that sounds like apostasy
I have PHDs, so you should trust in me
It will all make sense if you believe it’s true

characters and stories from the Book of Mormon.
Wasn’t there a show on Broadway in NYC about this “Book of Mormon”, already? I thought Trey Parker (from South Park) helped write it?
Just ask what
bishop mittens Romney has to say
Fools mock. But they shall mourn.
Such good Christian examples you all are.
Now — if only there were some archaeology to substantiate this fantasy.
Yes. Keep chopping each other up. The liberals laugh.
“You’re not a real Christian!”
“No, you’re not a real Christian.”
Sounds of fighting.
Satan laughs.
Brigham Young already got that crap done for them years ago.
There already was a series with Bill Paxton - Big Love.
