The Chosen Season 6: Premiere Date and Crucifixion Plot Revealed

The faith-based series The Chosen is scheduled to return on November 15, 2026, for its sixth season, which will focus on the final hours and crucifixion of Jesus.

Prime Video and 5&2 Studios confirmed that the first three episodes of the season will debut on November 15, 2026. New episodes will then be released weekly through December 6, 2026.

In addition to the streaming release, the Season 6 finale will be released as a standalone theatrical event timed for Holy Week 2027.

Narrative Focus on Good Friday

The upcoming season will center on the 24 hours comprising Good Friday, documenting the arrest, trial, and crucifixion of Jesus. The story picks up immediately following the events of the Season 5 finale, which depicted the Last Supper and the subsequent arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane.

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. 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.

Dallas Jenkins, creator and executive producer of “The Chosen”

Creator Dallas Jenkins has described this installment as the most difficult season to produce in terms of both emotional and physical labor. Production for the season began in April 2025 and took place across multiple locations, including Italy, Utah, and Texas, with the crucifixion scenes filmed in Italy.

Jonathan Roumie returns as Jesus, leading an extensive ensemble cast that includes:

Series Conclusion

Season 6 will not serve as the series finale. The creators have outlined a plan for a total of seven seasons.

The seventh and final season is intended to explore the resurrection of Jesus, as well as the ascension and the events that mark the beginning of the Book of Acts.
