The Chosen Season 6: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 30, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated June 30, 2025, 12:44 IST Alright, Chosen fans—let's get into it. If you've been on this journey from the Sea of Galilee to Jerusalem, you know The Chosen doesn't just tell a story—it pulls you in, heart first. And with Season 5 leaving us reeling after the Last Supper and Judas' gut-wrenching betrayal, the big question now is: what's next in Season 6? So, grab a coffee or whatever gets you through the wait—we've rounded up everything we know so far. The Chosen Season 6 Potential Release Date We're still waiting on an official release date, but there are some solid clues. Creator Dallas Jenkins has confirmed that filming kicked off in April 2025, with crews splitting time between Goshen, Utah, and the ancient stone streets of Matera, Italy. And it's no small task—they're filming the crucifixion, after all. Here's the twist: Season 6 is heading to theaters first as a feature-length film focused on the crucifixion, set to release on March 12, 2027. That's right—Jenkins is going big. After that cinematic run, fans can expect the full season to hit Amazon Prime Video for a limited 90-day window, followed by free streaming on The Chosen app, much like the rollout of Season 5. So if all goes according to plan, we're looking at a Spring 2027 streaming release—just in time for Easter, which feels perfectly aligned with the tone of this season. The Chosen Season 6 Expected Cast The cast of The Chosen is like family at this point, and most of our favorites should be back. Here's who we're pretty sure we'll see: Jonathan Roumie as Jesus. His performance is the soul of the show—can't imagine it without him. Shahar Isaac as Simon Peter, the rough-around-the-edges disciple who's all in. Elizabeth Tabish as Mary Magdalene, bringing heart and grit to her redemption arc. Paras Patel as Matthew, the quirky tax collector we all love. George H. Xanthis as John, who's got a big role in this crucifixion-heavy season. Noah James as Andrew, Simon's brother, always steady but emotional. Joey Vahedi as Thomas, wrestling with doubt and loyalty. Abe Bueno-Jallad as Big James, who's been hyping up how intense filming is. Now, the big question: Luke Dimyan as Judas. Season 5 covered the Last Supper and betrayal, so Judas' story might wrap up there. Jenkins is keeping mum, so we're left wondering if Judas pops up in flashbacks or not at all. Either way, the disciples' reactions to what's coming will steal the show. Oh, and expect familiar faces like Yasmine Al-Bustami as Ramah and Brandon Potter as Quintus to round things out. The Chosen Season 6 Potential Plot The Chosen Season 6 will focus on the crucifixion of Jesus, one of the most pivotal and heart-wrenching moments in the biblical narrative. Following Season 5's depiction of Holy Week, including the triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, and Judas' betrayal, Season 6 will center on Good Friday. Expect key events like Jesus' trial before Pontius Pilate, his journey to Golgotha, and the crucifixion itself. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

When Is ‘The Chosen' Season 6 Coming Out? Here's Everything To Know So Far
The Chosen: The Last Supper 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. Check back for the latest updates on The Chosen Season 6 as new details are revealed. The Chosen: The Last Supper is streaming on Prime Video. Watch the official trailer below.

TVLine's Performer of the Week: Jonathan Roumie
THE PERFORMER | Jonathan Roumie THE SHOW | Prime Video's The Chosen More from TVLine Were Arachnophobes Bugged by Criminal Minds? Is Resident Alien's Joseph Gone for Good? Did Steamy Adults Kiss Launch 'Ship? More Qs! The Buccaneers Season 2 Premiere: Leighton Meester Makes Dramatic Entrance as [Spoiler]'s Mother Poker Face EP Answers Our Burning Question: Why Does Charlie Confront Murderers Alone and Unarmed? THE EPISODE | 'Entry' (June 15, 2025) THE PERFORMANCE | 'Listen carefully, because I'm going to tell you what is about to happen….' With its Season 5 premiere, The Chosen began dipping into the Last Supper that Jesus shared with his disciples before his crucifixion, and series lead Roumie — with the words above, and all that followed — infused each and every moment with an earnestness befitting the pivotal occasion. Now, we and Jesus know where this story is heading, but Simon Peter, Matthew et al do not. As such, Jesus' every syllable landed with a great, and at times haunting, weight. 'In a little while, you will not see me. And then after a little while, you will see me,' he told them. 'Truly, truly I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice.' The way Roumie served up this part of the Last Supper, you could feel Jesus' intent to not only prepare his followers for what is to come, but a certain excitement to speak plainly and not 'in figures of speech.' Pivoting away from this opening, eight-minute segment, we picked up where Season 4 left off, with Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. Roumie's expression whilst seated upon a donkey could only be described as beatific. As the crowds sang 'Hosanna to the Son of David!,' you had to feel chills. A beat later, though, when Jesus was overcome with a rare bout of anxiety — 'seeing' blood seeping through the walls of Jerusalem, clutching his chest — the chills were of a different kind. 'Father, save me from this hour,' he said, triggering a thunderclap that barely masked the words, 'I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.' Capping Roumie's moving performance, we witnessed a low-key Jesus, 'out for a walk,' happen upon and join in the revelry of a betrothal ceremony. Upon being identified, he deflected the attention, but graced the couple with his blessing. In a subsequent scene, Jesus wept (as they say) as he looked out over the plaza and 'saw' the fiery fate that would eventually befall Jerusalem. '[Your enemies] will not leave one stone upon another in you,' he lamented, 'because you did not know the time of your visitation.' Scroll down to see who got Honorable Mention shout-outs this week… Aras Aydin's Matteo wasn't the only Nine Perfect Strangers character to have an emotional breakthrough during Episode 6, but his was easily the most affecting, thanks to Aydin's soul-baring performance. When Matteo's therapy session with Masha took an unexpected turn, and he revealed he didn't want to stop grieving his late family members, Aydin communicated a palpable mix of heartache and hope while hardly raising his voice above a whisper. 'I'm a boy who was loved and lost this love. The thing that everyone fears most in their life, and it's happened to me. So yes, there is pain,' Matteo admitted, Aydin's eyes wide and tearful. 'But there is no fear of loss, because I've already lost. So I can have nothing to fear.' Aydin colored his character's words with such profound sincerity that we were as moved as Masha was by the time his monologue was over — and when she later called Matteo's therapy session 'perfect,' we couldn't have agreed more. — Rebecca Luther Leighton Meester had us wrapped around her finger from the moment she uttered 'Nice hat' with the perfect blend of swagger and wit in The Buccaneers Season 2 premiere. As Nelle, Meester went on to masterfully deliver plenty of other piercing lines, particularly during her character's confrontation with Patti. As Nelle read her sister for filth — 'Oh… you're fed up. Is that it? You're bored?' — Meester made sure the words were charged with plenty of subtext. She feigned compassion with a nod of the head during her sister's admission, before swatting away Patti's claims of newfound independence with a brush of the hand and a sneering accusation of boredom that hung between them with all the weight that Meester had so purposefully given it. All in all, in only a few scenes, the former Gossip Girl reminded us that she's still Queen Bee. — Claire Franken Poker Face has a grand tradition of bringing in familiar faces for juicy guest roles, and Alia Shawkat sunk her teeth into a good one this week as murderous grifter Kate. Setting her sights on that ultimate New York City prize — a cheap rent-controlled apartment — Kate wooed retired professor Anne to get her hands on the lease, with a smiling Shawkat laying down a barrage of phony love-bombing. But Kate needed to get Anne's granddaughter out of the way first, and Shawkat was downright frightening as Kate plotted to knock her off in secret. When Charlie got on the case, Kate even tried to woo her, too, and Shawkat nimbly toggled between seductress and killer before finally getting caught. Kate will go down as one of Charlie Cale's most formidable adversaries yet, though, thanks to Shawkat's deliciously sinister turn. — Dave Nemetz Which performance(s) knocked your socks off this week?
