The Chosen One – The Netflix adaptation of Mark Millar’s American Jesus gets a poster

American Jesus is the latest Millerworld comic book, after Jupiter’s Legacy and Super Crooks, to get a Netflix adaptation. First released in 2004 under the name of Chosen, the comic was written by Mark Millar with art by Peter Gross.

The new show is called The Chosen One (El Elegido). Everardo Gout and Leopoldo Gout are co-showrunners, with the former also directing.

The multilingual (Spanish/English) series follows a twelve-year-old boy who suddenly discovers he’s returned as Jesus Christ. He can turn water into wine, make the crippled walk, and, perhaps, even raise the dead! How will he deal with the destiny to lead the world in a conflict thousands of years in the making?

The series stars Tenoch Huerta (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Narcos: Mexico), Dianna Agron (Glee, The Family) with more cast to be announced.
