By Movieguide® Contributor
A fusion of two very unique shows is in the works, and adventurer Bear Grylls is excited for the collaboration.
In a new series, Grylls will take several members of the hit series THE CHOSEN on a wilderness adventure.
“In each episode, Grylls ventures into the wild with one cast member while exploring their personal stories and diving deeper into their own perspectives on the series and the characters they portray,” a synopsis of the show reads.
Titled THE CHOSEN IN THE WILD WITH BEAR GRYLLS, it will feature THE CHOSEN creator Dallas Jenkins, as well as Elizabeth Tabish who plays Mary Magdalene, Paras Patel who plays Matthew, and Luke Dimyan who plays Judas.
“I always feel the real star of it all, to be honest, is the wild,” Grylls said at ChosenCon about the series. “The wild does my job for me. It opens people up. There’s a vulnerability and a connection with people when you adventure with them for a day or so that you’re never going to get on a stage, or on a red carpet, or on a chat show where it’s a performance.”
He continued, “You face a few fears together. You come through difficult times. You talk about the struggles…What was it like at the beginning? Did you ever think this sort of thing would be happening? You know, how’s your family been on that journey? All the stuff that all of us really want to know, with the characters and the stars that we know and love.”
“You’re going to love these episodes and the insights to these beautiful human beings who are part of the cast…We’re going to have fun,” he added.
A post on his Instagram shares snaps of the adventure man with THE CHOSEN’s cast and crew at ChosenCon and in the wild.
“…thank you @dallas.jenkins for your vision to make great things happen!” Grylls wrote.
Grylls is outspoken about his Christian faith. Movieguide® previously reported:
He explained, “Our job in life is to stay close to Christ and drop the religious, drop the fluff, drop the church if you need to because that means so many different things to different people anyway.”
“Keep the bit of church which is about community and friends and honesty and faith and love,” Grylls said. “All the masks, performances, music and worship bands and all of that sort of stuff — I don’t think Christ would recognize a lot of that.”
Grylls also spoke about his disappointment at the sanitization of “religious language,” which has created environments where people “can’t be honest, can’t express doubt and can’t fail.” The Church, he emphasized, is “the place to have doubts and questions.”
