Netflix has released a new promo video for its upcoming series El Elegido, which is the adaptation of comic writer Mark Millar’s American Jesus.
The series stars Tenoch Huerta, who plays Namor in Black Panther: Wakenda Forever, and he’ll star alongside a young cast of actors. The series tells the story of a 12-year-old who learns that he’s the reincarnated Jesus and he has to prepare for the Apocalypse.
“El Elegido” means “the chosen one” and the official synopsis reads:
Jodie, a twelve-year-old boy in Baja California, suddenly discovers he has Jesus-like powers: he can turn water into wine, make the crippled walk, and, perhaps, even raise the dead! As the Evangelical and the Yaquí leaders in town try to get him to use his powers to save mankind, all Jodie wants to do is impress the girl he likes and stand up to his bullies. As Jodie struggles and eventually comes to terms with his destiny, everything gets thrown for a loop when he realizes he discovers the truth around his identity.
In the video below, Mark Millar explains the concept for the series, introduces us to the characters, and shows off some of the locations. Check it out and like us know if this is a series you’ll be watching.
