‘The Chosen’ cast heads into the wilderness with Bear Grylls in new series

Several cast members from the hit series “The Chosen” will be trading in the sets of Jerusalem for the wilderness of America as they leap from planes, scale cliffs, eat scorpions, and zip-line over canyons in “The Chosen in the Wild with Bear Grylls.”

The new survival series is the latest project from 5&2 Studios — the production company behind “The Chosen.”

The show will include six episodes featuring actors Jonathan Roumie (who plays Jesus in “The Chosen”), Noah James (Andrew), Paras Patel (Matthew), Luke Dimyan (Judas Iscariot), Elizabeth Tabish (Mary Magdalene), and creator, writer, and director of “The Chosen,” Dallas Jenkins.

Each individual will join renowned adventurer and survivalist Bear Grylls — known for his series “Running Wild” on FOX — on an adventure in the wild where they will be pushed beyond their comfort zones while exploring what makes them who they are and share personal conversations about their lives and their faith.

Some of the places visited in the series include Utah’s Castle Valley and Canyonlands, the Great Basin Desert, the Colorado River, the Ausable River, and the Adirondack Forest.

The series premieres on Aug. 9 on Prime Video.
