History
New studio name, new old stories to tell
“Nearly every time I encounter a viewer, they say something about wanting more Bible content from us. I always say we need to not get ahead of ourselves and remain focused, but now we’ve got a robust enough team to expand our efforts. I’m very excited to bring our ‘Chosen way’ to more great stories from the Bible, and it’s awesome that we get to first announce it to the fans who helped get us here long before we were popular.”
— Dallas Jenkins.
We couldn’t have said it better, Dallas. Yeah, our team is pretty excited about our new studio name. But we’re beyond excited about the opportunity to connect you to even more amazing stories from the Bible.
When it became clear we were going to develop these stories, we knew we’d need a new name for our independent studio. Of course, we went back to our roots, focusing on the story of how The Chosen was born.
“It’s not our job to feed the 5,000,” Dallas often says, “only to provide the loaves and fish,” referencing the story of how Jesus used one little boy’s five loaves and two fish to feed the multitudes. 5&2 Studios is bringing that philosophy to each of these new projects.
