When Is ‘The Chosen' Season 6 Coming Out? Here's Everything To Know So Far
The final three episodes of Season 5 of the popular faith-based series The Chosen, titled The Last Supper, have finally arrived on Prime Video after premiering in theaters earlier this year. While another season is currently in production, there are a few major changes this time around that fans should be aware of.
The Chosen is a biblical drama created, directed, and co-written by Dallas Jenkins. The series takes place in Judaea and Galilee in the 1st century and follows the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth and his disciples. Jonathan Roumie plays Jesus Christ, while Shahar Isaac, Elizabeth Tabish, Paras Patel, Noah James, George H. Xanthis, and others also star.
The fifth installment covers Holy Week — the week leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. After Lazarus is raised from the dead, the Sanhedrin, specifically the High Priest, seeks to have Jesus handed over to the Romans to be killed. Season 5 recreates monumental scenes, such as the Last Supper and the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus is betrayed and arrested.
For Roumie, filming the Last Supper was one of the most challenging scenes, given how personally meaningful it is to his faith. 'The Last Supper means so much, very specifically to me and my faith,' he told me on set last summer.
The sixth season, which will depict the crucifixion, is expected to be even more emotional. In the meantime, Roumie said he's trying to 'stay as present as I can throughout all of it, knowing it'll soon be over." He continued, "I've lived with the character for now six years. I don't know what it's going to be like when I'm not doing it. Life will be probably quite different.'
Read on for everything you need to know about The Chosen Season 6, including filming updates, what the next chapter will cover, the unusual release schedule and more.
Will There Be The Chosen Season 6?
The Chosen: The Last Supper
The Chosen has been renewed for a sixth season, which will serve as the second-to-last season of the faith-based series. Jenkins previously said that he and his team began working on the scripts for seasons 6 and 7 in 2024.
'We went to Sundance, spent a couple of days there and just plotted out the outlines and started to work on some of the scripts for Season 6 and 7 because we really want to make sure that we know where we're going with everything,' the director told Deseret News last year.
Has Filming Started For The Chosen Season 6?
The Chosen: The Last Supper
Filming for the sixth season of The Chosen began in April in North Texas, with an Instagram announcement on April 14. Lights, camera…You know the drill. Season 6 filming starts today,' the caption read.
The biblical drama then spent three weeks filming scenes in Goshen, Utah, before moving to Matera, Italy, to film the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, which is expected to be the central event of the next installment.
Although Season 6 only covers a 24-hour span of Jesus's life, it will take much longer to film than previous seasons, as Jenkins stated in an interview with KSL TV. He explained that most of the scenes take place at night, so they're shooting throughout the overnight hours.
'It's exhausting. This season is an 86-day shoot. It's almost 20 days longer than any other season we've ever done,' Jenkins said. 'It's the physical challenges, the logistical challenges that make it even harder.'
What Will The Chosen Season 6 Be About?
The Chosen: The Last Supper
Season 6 of The Chosen will cover the 24 hours of Jesus' life leading up to the crucifixion. Jonathan Roumie, who portrays Jesus, opened up to Collider about what it was like filming the show's 'most profound season' yet.
'It's brutal. This is the most difficult thing I think I've ever done,' the 50-year-old actor revealed. 'It's the most difficult season. It's the most difficult role, and this being the most difficult role in the most difficult season, with the physicality that is expected, that I feel is expected, and that ultimately we will portray during Christ's suffering and death — His passion — I don't know anything else that could be more challenging to me as a performer.'
On June 22, 2025, the official The Chosen YouTube account released a behind-the-scenes video of the crucifixion being filmed in Italy, where many cast members — as well as Jenkins — were visibly emotional.
During a break while filming the crucifixion scene in Season 6, Elizabeth Tabish, who plays Mary Magdalene, spoke to AP News about the emotional challenges.
'It's just pure devastation, to watch your friend be paraded through the streets and mocked, and publicly executed.' She continued, "He never hurt anyone, you know. So there's a lot of grief."
How Many Episodes Will Be In The Chosen Season 6?
The Chosen: The Last Supper
The episode count for Season 6 of The Chosen has not yet been confirmed. However, Jenkins hinted in an April 2025 livestream that it will probably be "a little longer than normal." The previous five seasons of the series each had eight episodes each.
Because Season 6 is expected to be more extensive and logistically challenging to film, fans will unfortunately have to wait longer for new episodes. So, by this time next year, new episodes are not expected to be released.
'Season 6 is going to take us longer to film than any season we've ever done, by far,' Jenkins added. 'That, of course, then pushes the post production process as well… 'Please be grateful for the fact that we try to get it to you as soon as possible.'
When Is The Chosen Season 6 Coming Out In Theaters?
The Chosen: The Last Supper
The release schedule for the sixth and seventh seasons of The Chosen is functioning differently than previous seasons. Both the Season 6 finale and the Season 7 premiere will be produced as standalone feature films "designed for the big screen experience," according to a statement from Amazon MGM Studios and 5&2 Studio.
The Season 6 finale is set to be released in theaters on March 12, 2027, while the Season 7 premiere will make its theatrical debut almost one year later, on March 31, 2028.
Regarding the episodes leading up to the Season 6 finale, their release date has not yet been announced. However, they are expected to premiere in late 2026, ahead of the finale's theatrical release on March 12, 2027, Jenkins confirmed during an April livestream. 'Season 6 will come,' the director assured viewers. 'We will tell you the dates when we know them.'
When Will The Chosen Season 6 Be Released On Prime Video?
The Chosen: The Last Supper
The sixth season of The Chosen will be available to stream on Prime Video before the finale is released in theaters in 2027. Meanwhile, the seventh season will be available on Prime Video in 2027 following the theatrical debut of its premiere, according to Deadline.

Bob Vylan Addresses Glastonbury Controversy: 'We Are Not for the Death of Jews'
English punk-rap duo Bob Vylan have issued a new statement following their controversial 'death to the IDF' chants at Glastonbury over the weekend, denying claims of antisemitism while continuing to call for a free Palestine. 'We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs, or any other race or group of people,' the duo wrote in a post on Instagram on Tuesday. 'We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine — a machine whose own soldiers were told to use 'unnecessary lethal force' against innocent civilians waiting for aid. A machine that has destroyed much of Gaza.' More from The Hollywood Reporter BTS Slate Spring 2026 Return With New Music and World Tour Scooter Braun Steps Away From CEO Role at HYBE Warner Music Group Launches $1.2B Joint Venture With Bain Capital For Music Acquisitions Bob Vylan garnered significant criticism over the 'death to the IDF' chants during their set last weekend, with Glastonbury organizer Emily Eavis writing that their words 'very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence.' UTA subsequently dropped Bob Vylan, and the U.S. State Department revoked their visas, putting their upcoming North American tour in jeopardy. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau wrote on X on Monday that 'foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country.' The BBC also shared a statement saying the network regretted livestreaming Bob Vylan's Glastonbury set, further stating that 'the antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves.' Of the backlash, Bob Vylan wrote on Tuesday that the duo 'are not the story' and argued that they were 'being targeted for speaking up,' further encouraging their fans to continue to speak out on the matter. 'We are a distraction from the story. And whatever sanctions we receive will be a distraction,' Bob Vylan said. 'The government doesn't want us to ask why they remain silent in the face of this atrocity. To ask why they aren't doing more to stop the killing. To feed the starving. The more time they talk about Bob Vylan, the less time they spend answering for their criminal inaction.' See Bob Vylan's full statement below.

Taylor Lorenz mocked by Piers Morgan panel after she defends band's 'Death to the IDF' chant
Former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz clashed with Piers Morgan and fellow panelists on his show Monday after she adamantly defended a UK band for chanting "Death to the IDF" at a musical festival on Saturday. While performing at the Glastonbury Festival on Saturday, singer Bobby Vylan of the punk-rap duo Bob Vylan led the crowd in a "Death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]," chant against Israel's military. The band's actions drew swift backlash. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned their rhetoric as "hate speech" and their visas were revoked by the U.S. State Department. The band was also reportedly dropped by the United Talent Agency. Lorenz claimed on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" that the band was not calling for violence against Israeli soldiers but was protesting the actions of Israel's national military in the war in Gaza. "The Israeli army is committing genocide, so I completely understand why people are upset about anyone sort of calling for death, but it's important that the reason they're calling for death for this sort of amorphous military entity is because that military entity is currently slaughtering babies and committing genocide in Gaza," she began. Lorenz argued that the crowd chanting "Death to the IDF" at the concert had a right to be angry about the "genocide." She called for people upset by the band's rhetoric to "advocate for the end of the genocide." "They weren't talking about an entity," Morgan pushed back. "They were talking about the soldiers. They wanted death to the IDF soldiers." Other panelists on the show also picked apart Lorenz's argument. "If you are advocating against genocide, and you don't want people to be killed, how can you turn around and say at the same breath that you think chanting for death should be contextualized somehow?" Tel Aviv Institute senior fellow Hen Mazzig told Lorenz. "Well, yeah, because again, if an army is committing genocide and slaughtering babies and creating the highest rate of child amputees in the world, and if that is what they have done for months and years now, and then the public is rightfully outraged about that," she retorted. "Calling for their death, that's the issue —" Mazzig began as Lorenz interjected. "Calling for the death of a military entity that is currently committing genocide," she insisted. "Of soldiers!" Mazzig disagreed. "It's a compulsory army." Morgan jumped in to scold Lorenz for doubling down on the argument. "Taylor, you can't keep saying that. You don't even believe that when you're saying it. If they said death to the British army, no one's taking that as meaning the institution. They're taking it as meaning British soldiers," he explained. Lorenz compared the situation to people chanting "death to America." "When people say 'death to America,' they mean death to American imperialism that has subjugated them," she claimed. "No, they don't. They mean death to Americans!" Morgan replied. "Oh, come on!" Mazzig sighed. "That's a very generous position," co-panelist and British columnist Esther Krakue laughed. "Ask the Supreme Leader of Iran what they mean, they'll tell you exactly!" Mazzig also mocked Lorenz.

Bob Vylan rejects criticism and says it's being targeted for speaking up about Gaza at Glastonbury
LONDON (AP) — Rap-punk duo Bob Vylan on Tuesday rejected claims of antisemitism over onstage comments at the Glastonbury Festival that triggered a police investigation and sparked criticism from politicians, the BBC and festival organizers. The band said in a statement that it was being 'targeted for speaking up' about the war in Gaza. Police are investigating whether a crime was committed when frontman Bob Vylan led the audience in chants of 'Death to the IDF' — the Israel Defense Forces — during the band's set at the festival in southwest England on Saturday. The British government called the chants 'appalling hate speech' and the BBC said it regretted livestreaming the 'antisemitic sentiments.' U.S. authorities revoked the musicians' visas. Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza has inflamed tensions around the world, triggering pro-Palestinian protests in many capitals and on college campuses. Israel and some supporters have described the protests as antisemitic, while critics say Israel uses such descriptions to silence opponents. In a statement on Instagram, Bob Vylan said: 'We are not for the death of jews, arabs or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine. … A machine that has destroyed much of Gaza.' Alleging that 'we are a distraction from the story,' the duo added: 'We are being targeted for speaking up.' The BBC is under pressure to explain why it did not cut the feed of the performance after the anti-IDF chants. Britain's Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis said 'the airing of vile Jew-hatred' by the BBC was a moment of 'national shame.' 'It should trouble all decent people that now, one need only couch their outright incitement to violence and hatred as edgy political commentary, for ordinary people to not only fail to see it for what it is, but also to cheer it, chant it and celebrate it,' he wrote on X. Avon and Somerset Police said it is investigating Bob Vylan's performance, along with that by Irish-language hip-hop trio Kneecap, whose pro-Palestinian stance has also attracted controversy. Kneecap member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh has been charged under Britain's Terrorism Act with supporting a proscribed organization for allegedly waving a Hezbollah flag at a concert in London last year. Since the war began in October 2023 with a Hamas attack on Israel that killed some 1,200 people, Israel has killed more than 56,000 people in Gaza, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory.
