The Chosen Season 6: Prime Video Release Date & Episodes

The Chosen Season 6 is here, and it is the season fans have been waiting for since the show began. The Chosen Season 6 premieres on Prime Video on Sunday, 15 November 2026, with the first three episodes dropping together. From there, one new episode arrives each Sunday until 6 December — but the story does not end on streaming. The season’s conclusion will play out as a standalone film in cinemas on 12 March 2027, a bold split that makes this the most unusual release in the show’s history.

Created and directed by Dallas Jenkins, The Chosen is the first multi-season drama to centre on the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth, and it has grown from a crowdfunded project into a global phenomenon watched by more than 300 million people. Season 6 is the penultimate chapter: it covers a single day, the final 24 hours of Jesus’ life, from his arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane to the cross. Here is everything you need to know — the release date, the full episode schedule, the cast, where to watch, and why the finale is a movie.

The Chosen Season 6 Release Date

The Chosen Season 6 premieres exclusively on Prime Video on Sunday, 15 November 2026. The first three episodes arrive at once, so viewers can watch the opening stretch of the final day in one sitting. New episodes then follow weekly on Sundays, with the streaming run ending on 6 December 2026.

Prime Video and 5&2 Studios announced the date back in April 2026, and the official trailer — released on 15 October 2026 — confirmed the rollout. The season is available from launch in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Sub-Saharan Africa, the United Kingdom and Latin America. Decider reports the episodes drop at 3:01 a.m. ET, Prime Video’s usual release time for new seasons.

The Chosen Crucifixion, the feature-length finale, opens in US cinemas on 12 March 2027, with other countries following during spring 2027 — almost four months after the first episodes arrive. The streaming season is only the first half of the story.

The Chosen Season 6 Episode Schedule

Season 6 has six streaming episodes. The schedule is simple: three at launch, then one a week for three more Sundays. Here is the full plan.

Episode titles and runtimes have not been published. What is confirmed is the shape of the season: the six streaming episodes take the story through the arrest, the trials and the walk to Calvary, while the crucifixion itself is held for the big screen. The finale will stream on Prime Video later, but no date has been announced yet.

Watch the Official Season 6 Trailer

Prime Video and 5&2 Studios released the official Season 6 trailer on 15 October 2026, and it passed one million views on YouTube within its first 24 hours. The roughly two-and-a-half-minute preview follows Jesus through the events leading to his death — the arrest, the trials, the scourging — without easing viewers into what is coming. Watch it below.

What Does The Chosen Season 6 Cover?

The Chosen Season 6 covers the final 24 hours of Jesus’ life, from his arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane through his trial, scourging and execution. The official logline says it plainly: “Season 6 captures the historic events of Jesus’ final day through the lives of those who love Him — and those who condemn Him… in the face of loneliness and death, Jesus stands resolute in a plan that has always led to one place: the cross.”

Season 5 ended on a cliffhanger that leads directly into this season. Released in cinemas in three parts as The Chosen: Last Supper in spring 2025, the fifth season covered Holy Week: Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, his final public preaching, the Last Supper in the Upper Room, and his prayer in Gethsemane. Its finale closed with Judas sealing his betrayal with a kiss as Temple guards moved in — the arrest itself. Season 6 picks up at that exact moment, with the disciples scattered, Peter facing his denial, and Jesus standing alone before the religious authorities and Rome.

Where Season 5 covered a whole week, Season 6 covers a single day, and the storytelling tightens around the people at the centre of it: the disciples who love Jesus, the women who refuse to leave him, and the men who condemn him. As one early description of the season puts it: “The hour has come. Before the sun sets, Jesus of Nazareth will be dead.”

The Chosen Season 6 Cast

The cast of Season 6 brings back the familiar faces from the previous five seasons. Jonathan Roumie returns as Jesus, and the disciples and the people around him are all back for the final day.

The season’s tension runs through two groups. On one side are the disciples — Peter, John, Matthew, Andrew and the rest — who must watch their teacher walk willingly towards his death. On the other are the men who drive the day’s events: Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin, King Herod, and Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who holds Jesus’ fate in his hands. John is the only disciple who stays at the site of the crucifixion.

Behind the camera, Dallas Jenkins created the series, directs it and co-writes it with Ryan Swanson and Tyler Thompson. The season was filmed across Texas and Utah — the show’s long-standing bases in Midlothian and Goshen — before the production travelled to Italy for the crucifixion scenes.

Filmed in Italy: The Crucifixion in Matera

The crucifixion scenes were filmed in Matera, Italy, the ancient stone city in the Basilicata region that also served as the setting for Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ. The production spent about three weeks there in 2025, wrapping in June, after Jenkins and his team decided the show’s Texas and Utah sets could not deliver the authenticity the scene needed. Jenkins has said the Italy shoot “was the hardest thing any of us had done,” and that filming the crucifixion gave him his first emotional breakdown on a set — a moment he had to step away and recover from.

The physical demands were just as heavy. Jonathan Roumie lost approximately 25 pounds in preparation for the crucifixion scenes, while makeup artists spent hours each day applying increasingly severe wounds. The production used machines to raise Roumie on the cross, then worked to make it look as though people were raising him. It is the most ambitious undertaking the production has attempted — and the reason the finale was always going to need the scale of a cinema screen.

Why the Finale Is a Movie, Not an Episode

The most confusing thing about Season 6 is also its most deliberate choice. The Chosen Crucifixion is not Episode 7, and it is not a streaming episode — it is a standalone feature film, and the only way the season’s story ends.

The split was planned from the start: Prime Video and 5&2 Studios designed the six streaming episodes and the theatrical finale together, with the season building towards the cross and the film delivering it. The streaming episodes close on 6 December 2026 with the story still unfinished, and the film picks up the crucifixion itself when it opens in cinemas on 12 March 2027, just ahead of Holy Week. The finale will come to Prime Video afterwards, but no streaming date has been announced — so anyone who wants to see how the season ends will need to go to a cinema first.

The split also sets up what comes next. The Chosen Season 7, the final season of the series, will focus on the resurrection. No date has been announced for it yet. For now, Season 6 is the penultimate chapter — and the film is the bridge between it and the end of the story.

Where to Watch The Chosen Season 6

The Chosen Season 6 streams exclusively on Prime Video from 15 November 2026, as part of a Prime Video subscription. All six episodes arrive in the announced markets on the same schedule, and Seasons 1 to 5 are already streaming on Prime Video for anyone who wants to catch up — or rewatch the Last Supper before the final day begins.

The first six episodes will eventually reach The Chosen app for free, after Prime Video’s exclusive window, but no date has been announced. The official season page also carries a content note: the season depicts Jesus’ trial, scourging and execution, and it leaves the decision about younger viewers to parents.

What to Watch While You Wait

If you finish the first three episodes and want more, Prime Video has plenty lined up for the same weeks. The Rings of Power Season 3 premiered on Prime Video on 11 November 2026, just four days before The Chosen. Looking ahead, Blade Runner 2099 arrives on Prime Video on 25 November 2026. And if you want a historical drama on a different platform, The Empress Season 3 landed on Netflix on 12 November 2026 as the final season of its own royal saga. November is a crowded month for streaming, and The Chosen is the one that asks the most of its audience.
