When Will ‘The Chosen’ Season 5 Be Released for Streaming on Amazon Prime Video?

Fans of the religious historical drama, The Chosen, have indulged in the series for the past four seasons and are anxiously awaiting a new season to be released on Amazon Prime Video. Luckily for them, the wait is almost over.

The Chosen premiered on Dec. 17, 2017, and centers on the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. It is the first series of its kind to focus solely on the subject.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the fifth season of the Biblical drama will be released on Prime for streaming on June 15. Season 5 has been eagerly awaited by fans of the show, as it will be centered on the Last Supper.

“Season 5 follows Jesus’s triumph to treachery as his final days unfold in a story that changed the world. Welcomed as a king into Jerusalem, he boldly confronts the corrupt merchants, sparking a chain of events that shakes the city,” the Season 5 synopsis reads.

“While religious leaders scramble to silence his growing influence, Jesus shares one last meal with his closest followers. But in the shadows, Judas makes a deal that seals both their fates. In a tale of power, faith and betrayal that echoes through time – one man’s ultimate sacrifice becomes humanity’s greatest story,” the description continues.

In a 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Elkins spoke about the show’s journey from crowd-funded underdog to television phenomenon. “One of the most exciting things is that so many people tell us they’re into the show in the same way they’re into Marvel or DC,” he told the outlet.

“I’m not ashamed that I’m an evangelical. I’m not ashamed that it’s a show about Jesus,” Dallas said. “But we really do believe that the show can be watched by anybody, and we just don’t want people turning it off before they watch it because of a label. I’m not trying to, through the art, convert anybody or preach anything. It’s a historical drama.”

“I don’t think it’s modern at all,” he said of the criticisms that the series is too modern of a depiction. “I think 2,000 years ago, people laughed and rolled their eyes and said casual things and had metaphors and colloquialisms.”

“The very things that some people feel a little uncomfortable with are the things that have caused the show to be seen by millions of people. It feels modern because we have always seen these characters portrayed like they’re stained glass windows or statues,” Dallas said.

Season 5 of The Chosen will have eight episodes which will be divided into three parts over the course of three weeks. The first two episodes will be released on June 15, followed by another three episodes on June 22, with the final three episodes released on June 29. Seasons 1–4 of The Chosen are all available to stream on Prime Video.
