THE CHOSEN creator Dallas Jenkins just announced that churches can get a special early screening of Season 6.
“Pastors and priests, the church and parish setting is going to be vital for this season. People are going to have questions,” Jenkins said on Monday. “They’re going to be wrestling with things that they haven’t necessarily considered before. We’ve seen that already with some of the few people who’ve seen some of the episodes from Season 6, and especially the crucifixion movie.”
He wants church leaders to be prepared for their congregants’ questions. So for a limited time, church leaders may sign up for early access to Season 6 Episode 1.
Episodes 1-6 are scheduled to release on Nov. 15 on Prime Video. The season finale/“supersized episode” will come out in theaters in spring 2027.
Viewers will eventually be able to view the season for free via The Chosen App, which is managed by the Come and See Foundation.
“This partnership has never been more important than in Season 6,” the director said. “Season 6 is the season, the crucifixion season, along with our crucifixion season finale, which is going to be a global theatrical release, where we get into deep, deep issues that we haven’t fully explored in previous seasons.”

Jenkins appreciates Prime Video for allowing Season 6 Episode 1 to be screened in churches. They didn’t have to agree, but they did so with enthusiasm.
“Now, to be clear, it’s only available for churches and parishes,” said Jenkins. “This is not for individuals and small groups.”
The teaser for the season just came out. It shows an emotional moment between Jesus and his mother, with flashes of scenes on the final day of his life before he was resurrected.
Jenkins says it is the “heaviest” season by far. However, there are still joyful moments.
“The pace, the drama, all of that has been picked up, and you can feel it. It’s so palpable,” Abe Bueno-Jallad, the actor who plays Big James, said. “There’s not a casual conversation in any scene.”
Former Florida Georgia Line member Tyler Hubbard has co-written and recorded a song, “All I Need is You,” for Season 6. He and his family are fans of the show, and he was excited to be included in it.
“So getting the opportunity to write this song, to create this song, is really special for me, and also to be a part of this show, which also means so much,” the artist said.
All episodes in Season 6 take place on the single day of Jesus’ crucifixion. THE CHOSEN has won multiple Teddy Bear Awards® for its thoughtful and creative depiction of historical events. Hopefully, Season 6 will be as fruitful as previous seasons.
