Prime Video and 5&2 Studios have announced that the highly anticipated sixth season of “The Chosen” will premiere Nov. 15, with a hybrid release that includes both streaming and a theatrical finale.

The six-episode season will debut its first three installments on launch day, followed by weekly episode releases through Dec. 6, exclusively on Prime Video. The finale will not be part of the initial streaming rollout and instead is scheduled for a global theatrical release in spring 2027 in multiple languages.

Creator Dallas Jenkins previously told The Christian Post that the sixth season focuses on the final hours of Jesus’ life, depicting the events leading to the crucifixion through the perspectives of His followers and those who oppose Him.

“Season 6 is the living out of what Jesus said: ‘Not my will, but yours,’” Jenkins said. “Jesus, God incarnate, expressed that His own will might be to avoid the crucifixion, yet He willingly chose surrender. If He was willing to put Himself through that when He could have gotten out of it, then our problems are much smaller by comparison. I want to follow in His footsteps.”

An official synopsis describes a moment of mounting tension, as religious leaders, Roman authorities and disciples interpret the unfolding events in sharply different ways.

“Everyone knows the basics of this part of the story, but not everyone knows the ‘why’ of the crucifixion and the extraordinary events of these 24 hours,” Jenkins said in a statement. “We realized this not only deserved a season of television but a standalone full-length theatrical event as well. We wrote and filmed all of it with this in mind.”

Jonathan Roumie returns as Jesus alongside Shahar Isaac as Peter, Paras Patel as Matthew, Elizabeth Tabish as Mary Magdalene and Noah James as Andrew. The ensemble also includes George H. Xanthis, Abe Bueno-Jallad, Vanessa Benavente, Luke Dimyan, Richard Fancy, Paul Ben-Victor and Andrew James Allen.

As the series, which began as a crowdfunded project, approaches its final chapters with a planned seven-season total, cast members have previously shared with CP how the journey has been both emotional and transformative.

Patel, reflecting on his portrayal of Matthew, described the experience as “bittersweet,” noting the significance of nearing the end of the story.

“I always like to think of Matthew. Would he be ready for this?” Patel said, adding that the role has deepened his understanding of Jesus’ humanity and purpose.

“What really appeals to me about Jesus is the humanity the show portrays, His jokingness, His love, His care,” Patel said. “This guy made Matthew feel seen. He gave him his worth. He gave him his purpose. I hope it inspires people who are looking for their own purpose.”

He added, “In many ways, I feel like I was chosen for this.”

Other cast members echoed similar sentiments about the show’s impact and its global audience.

“We really love each other,” Noah James said. “I just hope we get to do things like this all the time, so that even when the show is over, we get to be in each other’s lives. … We’re running to the home stretch. And we’re going to make it the best one yet.”

Giavani Cairo, who plays Thaddeus, said the show coincided with a renewal of his faith. Looking ahead, the actor said he’s especially eager to see how the resurrection will be portrayed in season 7.

“‘The Chosen’ came when my faith started being renewed for the first time in a long time,” he said. “It’s given me an extended family. These are my brothers and sisters for life.”

“I’m so interested to see what that looks like,” he said. “I don’t know how they’re going to do it, but I can’t wait to read it. It’s going to be emotional.”

The series continues to expand its global reach. Earlier this year, “The Chosen” set a Guinness World Record for the most translated season of a streaming series. Come and See, the nonprofit supporting the show’s distribution, aims to translate and dub the series into 600 languages, targeting roughly 95% of the world’s population.

Season 5, “The Chosen: Last Supper,” is currently available to stream on Prime Video.
