The fifth season of The Chosen is coming to theaters this spring. The episodes cover the days leading up to the arrest of Jesus Christ and the Last Supper. The season will be made available via stream next year and will likely arrive on The CW in the fall.
Jonathan Roumie, Shahar Isaac, Elizabeth Tabish, Paras Patel, Noah James, Lara Silva, Shaan Sharma, Nick Shakoour, George H. Xanthis, Shayan Sobhian, Brandon Potter, Kirk B. R. Woller, Giavani Cairo, Jordan Walker Ross, Abe Bueno-Jallad, Joey Vahedi, Yasmine Al-Bustami, Vanessa Benavente, Austin Reed Alleman, Alaa Safi, Luke Dimyan, Ivan Jasso, Amber Shana Williams, Elijah Alexander, Reza Diako, and David Amito star in the historical drama, which is a dramatization of the life of Jesus told through the eyes of his followers.
5&2 Studios shared the following about the season to come:
The table is set. The people of Israel welcome Jesus as king while his disciples anticipate his crowning. But – instead of confronting Rome – he turns the tables on the Jewish religious festival. Their power threatened, the country’s religious and political leaders will go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus’ last.
Creator Dallas Jenkins shared the following about the season:
“I’m possibly more excited to bring season five to the world than any other season we’ve done. Unfortunately, it’s not coming until March, but that’s because it’s such a huge season and requires a ton of work. But I’m so thrilled to show this first glimpse of it with the poster and the teaser and for our fans to celebrate it on Teal Tuesday.”
He teased more about what viewers will see in season five via USA Today:
“We show you the joy of the worship and the triumph of Jesus coming in as the king of the Jews and the son of David. But we also take a moment – you see this in the teaser – to get inside Jesus’ head and know that it would have been bittersweet.
He’s looking at people who are worshipping him, some of whom are going to turn on him, so he can never be fully appreciating and enjoying the excitement of the moment when he knows what’s coming in five days.
Next season, we’ll give you the full gamut of his arrest and what happens over those next 24 hours.”
The Chosen is planned to run for seven seasons, but spin-offs are being explored. The Chosen: Last Supper debuts in theaters on March 27th, and the fifth season’s eight episodes will be released over four weeks.
During a four-week run in the U.S. and Canada, all episodes of The Chosen: Last Supper will be released in three parts – Part One (episodes 1-2), Part Two (episodes 3, 4, 5), and Part Three (episodes 6, 7, 8), which will enable viewing of all episodes throughout the entire run. Beginning April 10, The Chosen: Last Supper Part One will also roll out theatrically in over 40 global territories, including Brazil, Mexico, United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Poland, Philippines, and India, among others. Later in 2025, the season will make its streaming debut.
A television release date for season five on The CW will be announced later.
