‘The Chosen’ Season 6 Confirms Prime Video Premiere Date

The Chosen is officially set to return with its sixth season on November 15, 2026, bringing viewers back to the final hours of Jesus Christ’s life. The new episodes will arrive on Prime Video following the series’ theatrical release, continuing a distribution strategy that has already proved successful for the faith-based drama.

Created by Dallas Jenkins, the crowdfunded series has become one of the most recognisable productions in the genre. With more than 40 episodes released since its debut in 2017, it has built a substantial audience and maintained strong viewer ratings across its five seasons.

A successful theatrical and streaming strategy

Season 6 will be the second instalment of The Chosen to reach Prime Video after a theatrical run. Previous seasons were distributed in cinemas through Fathom Events, and those releases, together with Season 5, have generated more than $120 million at the box office.

The hybrid approach has helped the series reach audiences beyond traditional streaming, particularly in a market where faith-based productions have often been underserved. Amazon also holds the rights to release the already-in-development seventh season.

Season 5 focused on Jesus’ Last Supper and earned a 97% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The series’ first season also received strong marks, with a 100% critics’ score and a 99% audience score on the platform.Alaa Safi as Simon Z stands with his back to his crippled brother Jesse (Dennis Apergis) in The Chosen.

A major moment for faith-based entertainment

The announcement comes as faith-based films and television continue to attract wider attention. Mel Gibson’s long-awaited follow-up to The Passion of the Christ has been produced as a two-part project, while Angel Studios has strengthened its position in the genre with releases including The King of Kings and David.

Prime Video has also expanded its biblical programming with House of David, adding to the growing range of faith-based stories available to viewers.

In Season 6, Jonathan Roumie returns as Jesus as the story moves into the final hours of his life. The seventh season is expected to follow, although its release date has not been confirmed. Its arrival would also place the series’ conclusion around the same period as Gibson’s two-part film project, which is set to explore the same central events.

For now, fans can mark November 15, 2026 on their calendars for the sixth season’s Prime Video premiere.
