"The Chosen: First Series to Receive SAG Waiver During Hollywood Strike"
Season four of the popular Jesus series, The Chosen, has been granted a waiver from SAG to continue filming amid the strike. The series, which is widely regarded as one of the most successful crowdfunded TV series of all time, had submitted the necessary paperwork for an exemption and will resume shooting on Monday. This makes The Chosen the first known TV series to receive an exemption, although waivers are expected to primarily apply to indie films. The historical drama tells the story of Jesus through the eyes of those who knew him, and it is distributed by Angel Studios.
