If you’re looking for a new show to binge-watch in one sitting, you should definitely check out The Chosen One, arriving on Netflix on Aug. 16. It has a unique premise and only consists of six episodes, so you’ll be done with the show before you know it.

The Chosen One is a fantasy series developed by Everado Gout, Leopoldo Gout, and Jorge Dorantes. Like many other Netflix original series, The Chosen One is based on another piece of work. It’s based on the comic book series American Jesus by Mark Millar and Peter Gross. This is Millar’s third comic to be adapted into a Netflix show, with the others being Jupiter’s Legacy and Super Crooks.

The fantasy series follows a 12-year-old boy named Jodie, who after surviving a freak accident, discovers he has Jesus-like powers. But while Jodie just wants to impress the girl he likes, he’s now faced with a new destiny to save mankind.

So, who plays Jodie? What about the other characters in the show? We shared who portrays who in the fantasy series right below.
