With a nationwide release on the horizon, The Chosen premiered its third season on Tuesday, November 15 with a special event to benefit The Salvation Army.

The Chosen and The Salvation Army have an ongoing partnership that includes a permanent filming home for the Christian television drama on the grounds of Camp Hoblitzelle in Midlothian, Texas.

Parts of the first two seasons were filmed at Camp Hoblitzelle, which now features a 30,000 square-foot soundstage and a permanently recreated village of Capernaum. Season three is now available to stream worldwide but, in advance of the release The Chosen held a teal-carpet premiere at the Fox Theater in Atlanta.

Following the premiere, the creator of the show, Dallas Jenkins addressed the crowd and took questions, extolling the virtues of The Salvation Army and encouraging attendees to donate above and beyond the cost of tickets. Camp Hoblitzelle was the beneficiary of the evening’s fundraising effort.
