Bible movies on Netflix: the second-half-of-2023 viewership stats

The Chosen, The Star, and Year One surged compared to the previous chart; other films like Noah lingered, but saw a decrease.

Bo the Donkey in The Star (2017), and Jonathan Roumie as Jesus in The Chosen (2019-present), the two most-viewed Bible films on Netflix in the second half of 2023.

Five months ago, Netflix released a spreadsheet listing all the films and TV shows that had been watched on their platform for at least 50,000 hours during the first half of 2023. At the time, I went through the list and looked for as many Bible films as I could think of, to see how high they ranked on the chart.

Last week, Netflix released a new spreadsheet listing all the films and TV shows that had been viewed on their platform at least 100,000 times during the second half of 2023. So I figured it would be fun to take another look and see how the various Bible films and TV shows had fared on the list this time.
