Northampton church to host exclusive screening of hit TV series The Chosen before general release
A Northampton church is offering fans of a popular television series the chance to watch the opening episode of its new season weeks before its general release.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre will host a free, exclusive early-access screening of The Chosen Season 6, Episode 1, on Sunday, October 25, as part of Northamptonshire Day celebrations.
The screening will take place at 5.30pm, following a church service at 4pm, giving viewers an opportunity to see the episode ahead of its general release on November 15.
The Chosen, a television drama exploring the life of Jesus Christ and his disciples, has attracted an international following.
The opening episode of its sixth season begins in the aftermath of Jesus' arrest, exploring Judas' betrayal and the disciples' struggle to remain united.
Organisers hope the event will appeal to existing fans of the series as well as those discovering it for the first time.
They are also keen to encourage visitors to explore the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, one of Northampton's most significant medieval landmarks.
The event is free to attend and forms part of the church's celebrations marking Northamptonshire Day on October 25.
