The series is now in production season 5 (of 7 planned seasons) and has garnered over 250 million viewers worldwide. The success of The Chosen has led to other projects for Jordan, such as '1883' - the prequel to Paramount’s 'Yellowstone', 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' and the upcoming film 'Rise & Shine', based on the book, ‘Remembering Terri’. Jordan Ross is also a screenwriter with several projects in various stages of development, as well as a host for his podcast, 'What's Your Limp?'. Jordan Walker Ross was born two months premature, which led to Cerebral Palsy and Scoliosis. Jordan underwent over half a dozen major surgeries before the age of 10, as well as countless hospital stays due to severe asthma. His disabilities presented some issues as an actor. Jordan lost out on roles because his limp was too noticeable and even cut out/replaced from projects for the same reason. On top of that, Jordan experienced vicious bullying in high school. However, it was his love for acting that motivated Jordan to keep pushing forward. Now, playing a character with a disability on 'The Chosen', Jordan is using his platform to educate others on disabilities, bullying & mental health. Jordan travels to schools, churches and other events to promote his message of vulnerability and self-acceptance.

Wild Cards

Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
