Chosen (stylized onscreen as CH:OS:EN accompanied by a ticking sound) is an American action-thriller television series from Ben Ketai and Ryan Lewis, airing via online streaming video service Crackle.[1] Each season consisted of six episodes released simultaneously: season one was released on January 17, 2013; season two was released on December 13 that same year; the third and final season was released on April 15, 2014. Two weeks later, Crackle announced it had renewed the series for a fourth season,[2] but no other information was released until series star Milo Ventimiglia tweeted, on June 20, 2016, that the fourth season would not be moving forward.[3]
