Produced by 5&2 Studios, The elected officials is treated as the foundation of Jenkins’ larger biblical universe. This show turned out to be a surprise success thanks to crowdfunding to finance its production; the series is currently in its fourth season with three more planned. It tells the biblical story of the life of Jesus Christ interpreted by Jonathan Roumie.
While the series was initially a cult hit, The elected officials achieved mainstream success when it launched on Peacock, allowing it to expand into a cinematic universe. Moving from an exclusive release on its own app, the series became an international hit, even finding success with limited theatrical releases. With this new mainstream popularity, 5&2 Studios was able to part ways with their former partners, Angel Studios, giving them the freedom to expand their creative world.
