Season 5 of The Chosen Set for Prime Video Release
The Chosen, a popular series about the life of Jesus, has made quite an impact, grossing over $140 million worldwide. This success is noteworthy, especially as the show is not just aimed at churchgoers but appeals to a wider audience.
Created by Dallas Jenkins, The Chosen started in 2017 and showcases a unique view of Jesus and those around Him, focusing on genuine, relatable portrayals. Jenkins believes the show’s mainstream success represents a shift in how faith-based productions are viewed, moving away from being seen as niche projects.
Jenkins shared that while they didn’t aim for theater or Amazon release success, the positive response suggests the series holds value in popular culture. He noted that the focus has always been on creating a quality show rather than achieving high box office returns.
The series has gained attention for being more than just a religious project; it tells a story that resonates on a human level. Jenkins remarked that viewers are enjoying it as a historical drama, regardless of their beliefs.
With Season 5, the narrative takes a closer look at the events leading up to the Last Supper. Jenkins emphasized that while the production scale has grown, the authentic storytelling remains unchanged. The latest season addresses themes of trust and understanding, as Jesus prepares his disciples for what’s to come.
Fans of The Chosen can look forward to the upcoming episodes, with the first two set to premiere on Prime Video on June 15. Subsequent episodes will follow over the next two weeks, bringing the entire season to viewers’ homes.
