Prime Video and 5&2 Studios have officially announced that Season Six of the globally acclaimed series The Chosen will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on November 15, 2026. This highly anticipated season will debut with three episodes on that date, followed by weekly releases through December 6, culminating in a standalone theatrical finale in spring 2027.
Global Release and Streaming Details
The new season will be available not only in the United States but also internationally, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Sub-Saharan Africa, the United Kingdom, and Latin America. Fans can currently stream Seasons One through Five on Prime Video, building excitement for the upcoming installment.
Season Six Plot and Significance
Season Six delves into the historic final day of Jesus of Nazareth, exploring the perspectives of those who loved and condemned Him. The narrative captures the tension as Pharisees label it justice, Romans see it as peace, and followers view it as murder, all leading to the pivotal moment of the crucifixion.
Dallas Jenkins, Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of 5&2 Studios and Creator/Executive Producer of The Chosen, emphasized the depth of this season. "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," he said. "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."
Cast and Production Highlights
The series features a returning ensemble cast, including Jonathan Roumie as Jesus, Shahar Isaac as Peter, Paras Patel as Matthew, Elizabeth Tabish as Mary Magdalene, and other key actors portraying figures like Judas, Caiaphas, and Pontius Pilate. The Chosen is a groundbreaking historical drama that has attracted over 300 million viewers worldwide, making it one of the most-watched series globally.
Produced by 5&2 Studios and written, directed, and produced by Dallas Jenkins, the series offers an authentic look at Jesus' life against the backdrop of Roman oppression in first-century Israel. The deal with Amazon MGM Studios, signed in 2025, grants streaming rights to multiple projects, including The Chosen in the Wild with Bear Grylls and Joseph of Egypt, with Lionsgate handling global distribution.
