The Anticipation Grows: The Chosen’s Theatrical Return
In a move sure to delight fans of faith-based cinema, Ster-Kinekor is set to screen two new episodes of the acclaimed series, The Chosen: Last Supper – Part One, at select cinemas throughout South Africa from April 10 to April 13. This special event coincides with the global release of these gripping episodes, which will be shown back-to-back, giving audiences an immersive and breathtaking cinematic experience.
The Chosen has garnered significant box office success in previous seasons, with season three raking in a remarkable $20.6 million globally, and season four—expanding its reach to 35 territories—grossing an impressive $40 million. This trend signals the growing appetite for content that resonates on both a spiritual and cultural level across diverse audiences.
Behind the Story: What to Expect in Last Supper
Set during one of the most pivotal weeks in Christian history, The Chosen: Last Supper brings to life the dramatic moments leading up to the final days of Jesus. The narrative unfolds as the people of Israel embrace Jesus, anticipating his rise as their king. However, instead of clashing with Rome, he chooses to challenge the corruption within the religious festival, setting the stage for a tense confrontation with powerful religious and political leaders who will go to great lengths to protect their interests. The quality of the production, shot in cinematic format, elevates the storytelling, ensuring viewers experience a piece of history with clarity and visual flair.
Where and When to Catch the Screening
The theatrical release will occur in select Ster-Kinekor cinemas: from Johannesburg's Cresta and Rosebank Nouveau to Cape Town's popular Tygervalley and Blue Route, the event promises accessibility for a wide audience. Other screens include Brooklyn in Tshwane, Vaal in Vanderbijlpark, Gateway in Umhlanga, Baywest in Gqeberha, and Garden Route in George. Showings will be available once daily, providing an opportunity for viewers to witness these compelling episodes unfold on the big screen.

Professionals across various fields may find particular value in understanding how entertainment can be crafted to reflect and provoke thought around significant life themes—something increasingly crucial as global cultures intermingle and influence one another.
