The Chosen returns to Prime Video this Sunday, November 15, and this is the season that takes the series into the crucifixion - we've had five seasons getting to know the characters and seeing Jesus' ministry through the people around him, and now the story is moving into its final 24 hours.
Season 6 has a total of six episodes, but Amazon isn't releasing them all at once. The first three arrive on Sunday, with one new episode each week after that, finishing on December 6. It's also available in the UK, so there's no separate release date to wait for here.
Jonathan Roumie is back as Jesus, with Shahar Isaac as Peter, Elizabeth Tabish as Mary Magdalene, Paras Patel as Matthew and Luke Dimyan as Judas. The new season picks up after Judas' betrayal and follows the events leading to Jesus' arrest and death.
The crucifixion also itself isn't simply going to be the last episode dropped onto Prime Video - 5&2 Studios and Amazon MGM Studios are planning a separate theatrical film for spring 2027, which will bring the story to cinemas.
Creator Dallas Jenkins said the team felt the events deserved more than a single season finale. They wrote and filmed the season and the cinema release with that in mind, so the film is part of the plan rather than something they've decided to tack on afterwards.
Season 7 will then deal with the resurrection and bring the series to an end. That's still some way off, of course, but Season 6 is a pretty big moment for a show that started out as a crowdfunded project and has grown into one of the best-known Christian productions around.
The first five seasons are already on Prime Video. Season 6 begins November 15, with three episodes available on launch day.
