Crackle launches The Chosen with Heroes’ Ventimiglia

Sony’s Crackle is launching its latest original series Chosen, starring Heroes‘ Milo Ventimiglia.

This comes as the digital video service has aggressively been ramping up its original programming slate with recent series including The Unknown, created by Chris Collins and starring Dominic Monaghan, and Jerry Seinfeld’s new comedy series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

Ventimiglia will executive produce Chosen alongside creators Ben Ketai (30 Days of Night) and Ryan Lewis (Fat Kid Rules The World).

The series follows Ventimiglia’s Ian Mitchell, a husband, father and lawyer, who awakens one morning to discover a mysterious box on his door with a loaded gun and a photo of a stranger he is instructed to kill.
