The Chosen Season 6 premieres on Prime Video on Nov. 15 with three episodes, then weekly through Dec. 6, before a theatrical finale in March 2027.

The Chosen returns to Prime Video this Sunday, November 15, 2026, for its sixth and penultimate season. The rollout will not be one episode at a time from the start: Amazon MGM Studios and 5&2 Studios confirmed that the first three episodes arrive together on November 15, with the remaining installments released weekly on Sundays through December 6. After that, the season does not end on the platform: the conclusion will be a feature film in theaters, set for March 12, 2027 in the United States and expected on March 11, 2027 in Brazil.

The decision to split the ending between streaming and cinemas is the most important detail for viewers following the series created by Dallas Jenkins. Season Six covers the final 24 hours of Jesus, from his arrest to Calvary, and was conceived as the first half of a two-part finale. The seventh and final season, about the resurrection, has already been filmed and is scheduled for 2028.

When does The Chosen Season 6 premiere?

The official date is Sunday, November 15, 2026. The announcement was made on April 3, 2026, during Amazon's upfront presentation, and confirmed in October with the official trailer. The season will be released simultaneously in the United States and other markets, including Brazil, without the one-month delay that marked the previous season.

The full schedule is short and concentrated in 22 days:

There is no official release time. Amazon has not announced the exact hour the episodes go live, and outlets citing midnight or early morning are working from estimates. In practice, the safest bet is to expect the premiere at some point on Sunday, November 15, rather than late on Saturday night.

Why does the season have only six episodes?

The first five seasons each had eight episodes. Season Six breaks that pattern for a narrative reason: the entire action takes place on a single day, Good Friday. Instead of stretching the account, the production compressed the material into six chapters and reserved the ending for a feature film.

Dallas Jenkins explained the choice in a statement. According to him, the team realized the arc deserved not only a television season but also a standalone theatrical event. The creator described the previous season as a powder keg: Season Five set the stage, and Season Six sets it off.

“Season Five was the powder keg. In Season Six, it explodes.”

The format also has a commercial consequence. The previous season opened in theaters first, in March 2025, and only reached streaming in June. Season Six reverses the order: streaming comes first, and cinemas come last. It is the first time a season of the series premieres on Prime Video before any theatrical screening.

The theatrical finale: what we know about The Chosen: Crucifixion

The film that closes Season Six is titled The Chosen: Crucifixion. The US date is March 12, 2027, a Friday, which points to a traditional release window. In Brazil, Omelete reports the premiere is planned for March 11, 2027, a Thursday, following the local market's usual pattern.

The studio describes the film as a standalone conclusion, not an extra episode. Anyone watching only on Prime Video will see six episodes and miss the ending. The official guidance is to treat both stages as parts of the same arc: the season first, the theater later.

What changes compared with Season 5?

Season Five, subtitled The Last Supper, had eight episodes split into three blocks: two on the first Sunday, three on the second and three on the third. In the United States it premiered on June 15, 2025; in Latin America it arrived in July. Before that, it played in theaters from March 28, 2025 and grossed nearly $60 million in its first phase alone.

Season Six changes the model on three fronts:

• Reversed order: streaming before theaters, rather than the other way around.
• Tighter global launch: episodes arrive in several territories at once, without the one-month wait for Latin America.
• Simultaneous translations: for the first time, all episodes and the finale film will launch in dozens of languages on day one, instead of receiving dubbing and subtitles later.

The Prime Video exclusivity window also continues. Since Season Five, episodes stay on the platform for 90 days before they can be offered for free on the show's official app. For Season Six, the app's page already indicates a free-catalog arrival in early 2027.

Where to watch in Brazil and which countries?

In Brazil, the season will be available on Prime Video, included with an Amazon Prime subscription. The same applies to the rest of Latin America. The official list of territories released by the studio includes:

• United States
• Canada
• United Kingdom
• Australia
• New Zealand
• Latin America
• Sub-Saharan Africa

The first five seasons remain available on Prime Video. Anyone who wants to rewatch or start now has about 40 episodes to get through before the premiere, which is doable in two intense weeks. The series also keeps free versions on its own app, but with different availability windows.

Other premieres on the service are also worth tracking: Criminal, starring Charlie Hunnam and Emilia Clarke, arrives in January 2027. More release coverage is available in TV and series.

What to expect from the story?

Season Six begins with Jesus already under arrest. The official trailer, released on October 15, 2026, shows Judas spotting Mary in a crowd, the Sanhedrin trial and the city in turmoil. The official description sums up the tone: the Pharisees call it justice, the Romans call it peace, and the followers call it murder.

The focus is not the miracle but the decision. Jenkins said the season's keyword is surrender: Jesus chooses a path he could be rescued from, and the disciples must confront their own helplessness. Noah James, who plays Andrew, told the Deseret News that he spent two days crying after reading the scripts.

“It's going to be brutal, but it will be surprising. And I think at the end of the day, it could be some people's favorite season.”

Part of that impact comes from the practical production. The series is shot on a ranch in Midlothian, Texas, where the production built the set cities of Jerusalem and its surroundings from scratch. In August 2025, Omelete visited the set, watched scenes with Jonathan Roumie being escorted by Roman soldiers and spoke with costume designer Leila Heise about the research into fabrics and ornaments of the period.

Cast: who returns in Season 6?

The core ensemble is intact. Jonathan Roumie continues as Jesus, alongside Shahar Isaac (Peter), Paras Patel (Matthew), Elizabeth Tabish (Mary Magdalene), Noah James (Andrew), George H. Xanthis (John), Abe Bueno-Jallad (Big James), Vanessa Benavente (Mother Mary), Luke Dimyan (Judas), Richard Fancy (Caiaphas), Paul Ben-Victor (Herod) and Andrew James Allen (Pontius Pilate).

Direction, writing and executive production remain with Dallas Jenkins. The show is produced by 5&2 Studios, with global distribution by Lionsgate. The studio estimates the series has surpassed 250 million viewers worldwide, a figure that turned it into one of the decade's streaming phenomena.

After Season 6: Season 7 and the end of the series

The Chosen was designed for seven seasons. The seventh, about the resurrection, began filming on April 27, 2026 and wrapped in September. The studio's announced plan is a March 31, 2028 premiere, again with a theatrical launch before streaming.

That means the complete story will take at least another two and a half years to finish, counting from the Season Six premiere. For fans, the gap between the last Prime Video episode in December 2026 and the March 2027 film will be the first real test of patience. Then there is another wait until 2028.

How to get ready for the premiere

Newcomers do not have to watch everything in chronological order, but the experience improves considerably with context. Seasons 1 to 4 present Jesus' public ministry and the formation of the disciples. Season Five covers the entry into Jerusalem, the cleansing of the temple and the Last Supper, ending exactly where Season Six begins.

For those already following, the recommendation is to rewatch at least the final three episodes of Season Five, which concentrate the Passover preparations and Judas' betrayal. That is the point where the new season picks up, without a long recap.

Frequently asked questions

What is confirmed and what is still missing

The dates for the six episodes and the US film come from official Amazon MGM Studios and 5&2 Studios releases, repeated by specialist press. The Brazilian film date appears in an Omelete report from a set visit but has not yet been detailed in a local release. The release time for the episodes and the film's streaming date remain unconfirmed.

For anyone who wants to follow without missing anything, the path is simple: block out the four Sundays in November and December, keep the March 2027 cinema trip on the calendar and accept that the story will end away from the home screen this time. The series that began with crowdfunding and grew into a global phenomenon reaches its hardest moment exactly as promised: with Jesus on the road to the cross.
