The Chosen television series, a crowdfunded show focusing on the life of Jesus Christ, will continue filming its next season after being granted a waiver from the Screen Actors Guild.

The waiver comes as many television shows and movies have had to halt production due to the writers' and actors' strike currently happening in Hollywood. The show initially said it had not been granted the waiver it had requested, but announced on Sunday that it has now received permission to continue filming, which resumed on Monday.

"Great news! We just received word from SAG that we have been approved for a waiver. We’ll continue shooting on Monday," the show announced on social media.

The Screen Actors Guild–American Federation of Television and Radio Artists has stated that it would give waivers to independent productions that would sign “interim agreements” with the union, with smaller budget projects potentially having different terms for their agreements, according to a report.

The Chosen, which is currently filming its fourth season, stated on social media it had "agreed to all of SAG’s requests." Additionally, the fourth season is "entirely independent and 100% funded by donations," similar to previous seasons.

The show is a biblical drama that has reached more than 110 million viewers across 175 countries, with the creators of the show having plans to make the show available in 600 languages. In May, it was announced that Lionsgate, the studio and distributor behind the movie Jesus Revolution, had acquired the worldwide sub-licensing distribution rights to The Chosen, and the first three seasons have made their way to cable television, where they will air on The CW.

The writers' and actors' strike currently happening in Hollywood has brought the movie-making giant to a screeching halt, and it is unclear how long the strike will go on. The strikes have held up the production of many movies and television shows, including Deadpool 3 and Netflix's Cobra Kai.

Barry Diller, the former CEO of Paramount Pictures, recently warned that the film and television industries could see “devastating effects” if both strikes are “not settled soon.”
