What The chosen sure?
The official description for the comic gives us a good indication of what to expect and it looks like it will follow the first issue closely:
“After surviving a freak accident, a twelve-year-old boy discovers he is the return of Jesus Christ. He can turn water into wine, make cripples walk... he can even bring the dead back to life. How will he manage his destiny and guide the world through a conflict that has been brewing for thousands of years?
Netflix's setup page for American Jesus (which you need to go directly to at the time of writing and not available via search) says:
“A 12-year-old boy learns that he has returned as Jesus Christ in a last-ditch effort to save humanity and that he must enter into his destiny. Based on the comic by Mark Millar.
We also saw the descriptions of the two main characters: Jodie and her mother, Sarah.
Jodie is described as “a seemingly normal teenager until a freak accident makes her think otherwise. He is not pathologically shy but introverted. He is also a great storyteller, a trait he uses to entertain his friends.
Sarah is described as “a beautiful and courageous woman. She's Jodie's mother and she's very protective of him, even though she doesn't know what she's protecting him from. »
When will American Jesus begin production?
Production on the show was supposed to begin in spring 2020, but it fell through. There is no doubt that the delays were due, in part, to the global pandemic.
In May 2021, Mark Millar spoke to Deadline giving them updates on the series saying:
“The development of American Jesus is happening wonderfully in the talented and capable hands of Everardo Gout and Leopoldo Gout. I'm impressed with the creative options Netflix has given us, and in particular that this series will feature dialogue in both Spanish and English.
Production was then tentatively scheduled to begin on March 1, 2022. While we don't have exact filming locations, we do know that most of the show will be filmed in Mexico, specifically outside of Mexico City.
The Millarworld account confirmed that filming for the series officially began on April 25, 2022. When asked if Mark Millar would be visiting set, the account (which is no longer managed by Millar) replied:
“I think Mark will show up at some point, but the set is 14 p.m. from Mexico City and the temperature is 40 degrees. As a redhead, I'm not sure I was designed to survive this!
Netflix's American Jesus series begins filming today in Mexico, based on the book by @mrmarkmillar & @PeterGrossArt. Our best wishes to our friends @LeopoldoGout, @everardogout and the entire cast! pic.twitter.com/8lX6TLx8N0

On Netflix Tudum 2022 (The Chosen One appeared approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes after the screening), updates on the series were provided with a host of behind-the-scenes photos and an interview with Mark Millar himself. The main clip focuses on "the first day of filming" at a fairground.
Speaking of the "spectacular" locations the show is filmed in, Millar said: "The visuals for the show are very, very interesting because normally what a comic book adaptation does is CGI towns. It's very real, so what they did flipped and made the setting look almost supernatural. »
Millar added: "I think the fans should be thrilled that I'm excited. »
Early in the show's filming, a car accident claimed the lives of two actors and six other cast and crew members were injured. The accident happened while transiting from Santa Rosalía to the local airport on June 16, 2022. Redrum, the production company behind the show, temporarily halted production of the show. Reports later concluded that speeding was the cause of the crash.
Although Netflix's Millarworld got off to a rocky start, at least on the film and TV front, the streamer has quietly released a slew of comics since 2018, including Sharkey the bounty hunter, space bandits, and more recently, king of spies.
