The Chosen One is based on Millar and Peter Gross’s Chosen comic book series, which was first released by Dark Horse in 2004. It was later reprinted in 2009 by Image Comics as American Jesus. Netflix’s The Chosen One follows a 12-year-old kid who realizes he is the reincarnation of Jesus Christ with a mission to redeem humanity, identical to the comics. Announced in 2017, the streaming service described the protagonist as a boy who can ‘turn water into wine, make the crippled walk, and, perhaps, even raise the dead.’
