When is the release date for The Chosen Season 6?
The Chosen Season 6 is scheduled to debut on November 15 with the first three episodes on Prime Video, more than a year after wrapping up its fifth installment. Afterward, new episodes will drop weekly through December 6. As for its season finale, it is expected to be released in theaters in the spring of 2027.
“The hour has come. Before the sun sets, Jesus of Nazareth will be dead. Season Six captures the historic events of Jesus’ final day through the lives of those who love Him – and those who condemn Him,” reads the official synopsis for Season 6. “Pharisees call it justice. Romans call it peace. Followers call it murder. But in the face of loneliness and death, Jesus stands resolute in his plan that has always led to one place: the cross. The Chosen Season Six reveals how Jesus’ final hours changed the world forever.”
The ensemble cast includes Jonathan Roumie as Jesus, Shahar Isaac as Peter, Paras Patel as Matthew, Elizabeth Tabish as Mary Magdalene, Noah James as Andrew, George H. Xanthis as John, Abe Bueno-Jallad as Big James, Vanessa Benavente as Mother Mary, Luke Dimyan as Judas, Richard Fancy as Caiaphas, Paul Ben-Victor as King Herod, and Andrew James Allen as Pontius Pilate.
The Chosen is created and written by Dallas Jenkins. He is also serving as an executive producer, alongside Earl Seals, Ricky Ray Butler, Derral Eves, Chad Gundersen, Ryan Swanson, Chris Juen, Tyler Thompson, Brad Pelo, Mark Sourian, Matthew Faraci, Christopher Garabedian, Monica Zaragoza, Kevin Gillis, and Larry Jacobson. Since making its series debut in 2017, the historical drama has received positive reviews from critics and audiences. With over 300 million viewers, it is currently one of the most-watched series in the world.
“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.”
