The Lamb of God will have the lamb.
The Jesus Christ origin story-series “The Chosen” will finally make it to The Last Supper in Season 5; on Monday, creator Dallas Jenkins gave fans a first look at how the series interpreted what his 5&2 Studios called “the most pivotal week in history.” Hard to argue with that.
“The Chosen: Last Supper (Season 5)” as it is officially titled will premiere in movie theaters via Fathom Events (in the U.S.) on March 27, 2025; Easter Sunday is April 9, 2025. Trafalgar Releasing is the international distributor.
The fifth season of “The Chosen” will be released in three parts of two, three, and three episodes. The full season has booked a four-week run in the U.S. and Canada, and all episodes will be available throughout the entire run. In other words, you’re gonna have to buy three tickets.
The day after Easter, on April 10, the first two episodes will roll out theatrically in more than 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 — the streaming plan, including the platforms, is still being worked out, we’re told.
“I’m possibly more excited to bring Season 5 to the world than any other season we’ve done,” Jenkins, the creator and executive producer of “The Chosen,” said in a statement. “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.”
“The Chosen” started at Angel Studios, but a falling out over ownership took the series off of Angel’s slate (and its streaming service) and placed it on Fathom’s.
Much like the crucifixion for Jesus, Season 5 is not the end: “The Chosen” is mapped out as a seven-season series. But for now…
“The table is set. The people of Israel welcome Jesus (Jonathan Roumie) as King while his disciples anticipate his crowning. But — instead of confronting Rome — he turns the tables on the Jewish religious festival,” the Season 5 synopsis reads. “Their power threatened, the country’s religious and political leaders will go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus’ last.”
