The Chosen is continuing its innovative distribution approach with the theater release of Season 5, called The Chosen: Last Supper. Fans can look forward to seeing it in U.S. theaters starting on March 27, 2025. This release will last for four weeks, ending just before Easter on April 20, 2025.
This special release will show the episodes in three parts. Outside the U.S., the theater release will start on April 10, 2025, in 40 countries including the UK, Brazil, and India. Season 5 focuses on the week before the Crucifixion, telling a story filled with emotion and suspense about Jesus' Last Supper.
Creator Dallas Jenkins shared his excitement with Variety, saying,
“I’m possibly more excited to bring Season 5 to the world than any other season we’ve done.”
Here’s a detailed guide to the release and content of Season 5.
How will The Chosen Season 5 be released in theaters?
In the U.S. and Canada, The Chosen: Last Supper will debut with Fathom Events on March 27, 2025.
The release will feature:
- Part 1: Episodes 1-2
- Part 2: Episodes 3-5
- Part 3: Episodes 6-8
The movie will be shown in 40 countries around the world starting on April 10, 2025. Trafalgar Releasing will make sure it reaches fans in places like Germany, Mexico, and the Philippines. This release plan is similar to how Season 4 was released, which started in February 2024 with a series of releases over time.
By releasing during Lent and Easter, it connects more closely to the show's religious themes. Season 5 finished filming in July 2024, giving them time to make it look great on the big screen.
What to expect from the plot of The Chosen: Last Supper?
Season 5 focuses on Jesus' life before the Crucifixion. The logline says that the season shows the stress as Jesus faces what society expects from him.
“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,” reads an official description.
This season will be full of important moments and strong feelings. It shows more problems between Jesus and religious and political leaders, as Jesus' work changes things. Jonathan Roumie's acting as Jesus keeps people interested and makes the story feel real.
People who like the show will also get to see a new poster and a short video that makes them even more excited.
Jenkins also talked to Variety about it,
“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.”
When will The Chosen Season 5 be available to stream?
After its theater release, The Chosen Season 5 will be available to watch online in 2025, but the exact dates haven't been announced yet. In the past, earlier seasons were first shown on The Chosen app and then later on other platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and Peacock.
Following the release schedule of Season 4, fans might expect the streaming to start as early as May 2025, unless there are any delays. The free app will probably have the episodes first, as part of its goal to make the content easily accessible.
Fans excited for this big season can watch it in theaters starting March 27, 2025, and later on various streaming services.
