8 Shows Like The Chosen One You Love to Watch

The Chosen One is a new supernatural drama series based on the comic book American Jesus by Peter Gross and Mark Millar. If you like supernatural drama series, you’ll probably enjoy this one.

The series follows Jodie, a 12-year-old boy living with his mother, Sarah, in a small town in Mexico. One day, Jodie encounters a strange, unexpected event. From then on, he can replicate the feats of Jesus Christ, along with other supernatural abilities.

As the series continues, Jodie must decide whether to use his supernatural abilities to help others or keep his reality hidden from the rest of the world.

If you are a fan of supernatural series, we have included a couple of other series in this article that will keep you entertained with unique stories and a touch of the supernatural.

• Joan of Arcadia:

This series is a family drama created by Barbara Hall and was released in 2003. It won multiple awards, including the People’s Choice Award. The story begins with a 16-year-old girl named Joan Girardi, who lives in Arcadia, Maryland.

Joan can see and communicate with God. He assigns her several tasks to improve her life and her family’s. God appears to her in different forms on each occasion.

Just like The Chosen One series, Joan of Arcadia also features some religious contact, which is why you all liked the Joan of Arcadia series as well.

• Buffy the Vampire Slayer:

Like The Chosen One series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is another supernatural series based on a 1992 film of the same name, created by Whedon. However, Buffy the Vampire Slayer of the 1997 series is quite different from the 1992 film.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997) follows a plot spanning several centuries, with legends about which woman in each generation is chosen to be evil, whether as a vampire or another demonic creature.

Buffy is one such creature: a high school student by day who, at night, becomes a creature that fights demons and transforms into a slayer of vampires.

• Stranger Things:

When we talk about any supernatural series, how can we not talk about one of a fan’s favorite series, Stranger Things? Stranger Things is a conspiracy- and supernatural-horror series that starts with Will Byers suddenly disappearing, and his friends, along with his mother, Joyce Byers, and Jim Hopper, searching for him.

With each new installment, the creators add more mysteries and intricate tasks. We have even seen Eleven, a powerful supernatural character, take on and defeat several monsters. This series ties into The Chosen One, as well as the character Jodie and her friends.

• Warrior Nun:

Warrior Nun is another supernatural drama series created by Simon Barry and is available on Netflix. This series focuses on the character Ava Silva, a 19-year-old who wakes up in a morgue the day after she died.

It is later revealed that Ava is now the new bearer of the Cruciform Sword, and it is her destiny to protect all the Nuns from the demons. Like The Chosen One, The Warrior Nun weaves a biblical storyline with a protagonist who battles monsters to protect the nuns.

• Raising Dion:

Another entry on the list is the family drama and Sci-fi series Raising Dion, based on the comic book of the same name by Dennis Liu. This series tells the story of Nicole, a mother who must assume the role of provider and sole caretaker of her son Dion after the untimely death of her husband Mark.

Later, we learn that Dion can control the moment of Mark’s accident, and by revisiting it, Nicole becomes even more anxious; now she must care for her son so she doesn’t have to reveal his superpowers to anyone.

This series, and especially Nicole, has many similarities with Sarah from The Chosen One, but the most similar thing is their caring, protective nature toward their children.

• Damien:

Like Jodie from The Chosen One, here we have Damien, who also wishes to live an ordinary life and never disclose the (super)natural powers that he has to the world.

Damien is a Horror drama series that is a modern adaptation of the 1976 film The Omen. The creators also include a couple of Damien’s backstories, showing that as he grew up, he had a strong desire to reconnect with his Satanic past.

Because of this, he relies on Ann Rutledge, his guardian, who shields him from all of this, making Damien’s life much better than before.

• Messiah:

Messiah has many similarities with The Chosen One series; the main one is also connected with Jesus Christ’s identity. Actual Messiah is a Mysterious thriller series that focuses on its lead character, al-Masih, who suddenly appears in the Middle East, and no one knows anything about him.

Later, as the series develops, his mysterious appearance captures everyone’s interest, and a CIA officer starts investigating him. However, the series provides very few details about al-Masih. Many also consider him a reincarnation of Jesus Christ.

I Am Not Okay With This is another supernatural series, based on a novel of the same name, by Charles Forsman. The series focuses on Sydney Novak, a 117-year-oldgirl who is stuck in her family’s complications and also has anger issues and a short temper. Not to mention, her feelings for her best friend Dina also add to her disturbance. As the series progresses, Sydney faces even more problems as she has to conceal her supernatural powers from everyone.

The only similarity between The Chosen One series and I Am Not Okay With This is that Jodie and Sydney face challenges after discovering their hidden superpowers.

• I Am Not Okay With This:

I Am Not Okay With This is another supernatural series based on a novel of the same name by Charles Forsman. The complete series, I Am Not Okay With This, is about a 17-year-old girl named Sydney Novak with a short temper and anger issues, who is stuck in her family life complications that she faces daily; not only that, but her emotions and feelings for her best friend Dina also make her behavior disturbed.

As time passes, Sydney faces many challenges in hiding her superpowers in front of others. The only similarity we find between The Chosen One series and I Am Not Okay With This is how Jodie and Sydney face challenges after learning about their hidden superpowers.
