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.

When Will ‘The Chosen' Season 5 Be Streaming? How Long You'll Have To Wait
Jonathan Roumie stars as Jesus in "The Chosen" Season 4. The first two episodes of The Chosen: The Last Supper, the fifth season of popular faith-based series, are now playing in theaters. If you'd rather skip the big screen—or want to rewatch the episodes at home—read on to find out when and where you can stream Season 5. The next installment of The Chosen takes place during Holy Week before the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Season 4 ended with Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, a miracle that spurred the Sanhedrin and the High Priest to begin plotting to hand Him over to the Romans for execution. 'The table is set. The people of Israel welcome Jesus as king while his disciples anticipate his crowning. But—instead of confronting Rome—he turns the tables on the Jewish religious festival,' the synopsis reads. 'Their power threatened, the country's religious and political leaders will go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus' last.' When I spoke with Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus, he shared that he's especially excited for fans to see the powerful scene where Jesus enters the temple marketplace and flips over the tables of the buyers, sellers, and money changers. 'The marketplaces are just completely upended,' he told me on set last July. 'It will be a wonderfully chaotic scene, and I can't wait for people to see it." In addition to Roumie, the full Season 4 cast is returning for Season 5, including Shahar Isaac as Simon Peter, Elizabeth Tabish as Mary Magdalene, Paras Patel as Matthew, Noah James as Andrew, George H. Xanthis as John, Abe Bueno-Jallad as Big James, and more. Part One of The Chosen: The Last Supper, which includes the first two episodes, is now playing in theaters. Part Two—Episodes 3, 4, and 5—will premiere a week later on April 4, 2025, followed by Part Three with the final three episodes on April 11. All episodes will remain in theaters through April 20, 2025. But when will you be able to watch The Chosen Season 5 at home? Here's what to know so far. "The Chosen: The Last Supper" is now in theaters. The fifth season of The Chosen, titled The Chosen: The Last Supper, will stream exclusively on Amazon's Prime Video this June, which is about two months after its theatrical run. The exact streaming date hasn't been announced, so make sure to stay tuned for updates. Prime Video will also become the exclusive U.S. streaming home for the first five seasons of The Chosen, as well as all future seasons. Internationally, the series will be available on Prime Video later this year on a non-exclusive basis in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Sub-Saharan Africa, the UK, and Latin America. For donors who contributed to Season 5, creator Dallas Jenkins shared in a February 2025 livestream that they'll be able to watch the new season on Prime Video just like everyone else. He also noted that the Come and See Foundation will follow up with more details via email. The Chosen's move to Prime Video follows a new deal between series producer 5&2 Studios and Amazon MGM Studios. Previously, the series was available on platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Peacock, but according to Variety, those deals have all expired in recent months. Jenkins launched 5&2 Studios in September 2025 following an arbitration ruling that ended the partnership between his company, The Chosen LLC, and former distributor Angel Studios. The decision granted Jenkins full control of The Chosen, and now he's partnering with Amazon MGM studios for a much larger deal. 'For several years, the team at Amazon MGM Studios has proved over and over they're passionate about this show and our fans,' Jenkins told the site. 'They're going to make us better and get the show to more people, and I can't wait to build this relationship.' The first two episodes of The Chosen: The Last Supper are now in theaters. Check out the official trailer for Season 5, below.
