‘The Chosen’ resumes filming in North Texas and is seeking extras. Here’s how to apply for a role.
The acclaimed biblical drama, The Chosen, returns to North Texas as production on its seventh season continues. Following a brief hiatus in Utah, the series is once again filming in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, a locale that has become synonymous with the show’s production activities since its inception.
The Chosen focuses on the life of Jesus Christ and the individuals surrounding Him, depicting the events that shaped early Christianity. Since its third season, filming has largely taken place at Camp Hoblitzelle in Midlothian. Recently, the show announced that its sixth season is set to premiere on November 15 on Prime Video.
The production of Season 7 commenced in late April, originally shifting to Utah for several weeks in June. The cast and crew have now returned to the metroplex for the continuation of filming. In light of ongoing production needs, Texas-based casting agency Brock Allen Casting has issued a call for extras to participate in the shoot.
The casting notice highlights a requirement for stand-in actors—individuals who take the place of principal actors during camera setup and lighting adjustments. This role is crucial for the smooth progression of the filming process, ensuring that scenes are executed efficiently.
Compensation for those selected is set at 0 for ten hours of work. The availability of extras is particularly sought after on Wednesday, July 8, Thursday, July 9, Friday, July 10, and Monday, July 13. Interested participants can apply by contacting Brock Allen Casting via email. Submissions should include the applicant’s name, contact information, availability for the specified shoot dates, as well as specific physical attributes including height, weight, and clothing sizes. Additionally, candidates are required to provide two recent photographs—one headshot and one full-length image.
The narrative arc of The Chosen has progressed significantly through its previous seasons. The fifth season focused on Holy Week and the Last Supper, while the forthcoming sixth season will delve into the Crucifixion and the final moments leading up to Jesus’ death. Looking further ahead, Season 7 aims to explore the theme of the Resurrection.
The premiere for The Chosen Season 7 is slated for theatrical release on March 31, 2028. Details regarding the episode count and subsequent release dates remain unspecified at this time. Previous seasons, encompassing Seasons 1 through 5, are available for streaming on Prime Video.
As The Chosen continues its journey, it not only enriches audiences with its storytelling but also fosters community engagement through local casting opportunities, reinforcing its ties to North Texas.
