The final hours of Jesus Christ's life take center stage in the newly released trailer for Season 6 of "The Chosen," revealing a glimpse of the crucifixion as the hit biblical drama prepares for what creator Dallas Jenkins calls the "climax" of five seasons of storytelling. Prime Video and 5&2 Studios unveiled the official trailer Thursday, ahead of the season's Nov. 15 premiere.
The six-episode season will chronicle the final 24 hours of Jesus' life, culminating in a feature-length theatrical finale scheduled for March 12, 2027. The roughly 2.5-minute preview follows Jesus, portrayed by Jonathan Roumie, through the events leading to His death, depicting the anguish, betrayal and sacrifice at the heart of the Gospel accounts. "It was painful to shoot, and it's painful to contemplate.
But if there's one thing I want you to take away from this season, it's that Jesus chose this path," Jenkins said in a statement provided to The Christian Post. "He even tells the apostles He could be rescued from it if He wanted. He chose surrender and humility and sacrifice. Knowing that should make this story a little less painful. Starting Nov.
15 on Prime Video, you'll experience the climax of what's been building for five seasons. Season 5 was the powder keg. In Season 6, it explodes." The season explores Christ's arrest, trial and crucifixion through the perspectives of His followers, religious authorities and Roman officials, examining how each understood the events unfolding in Jerusalem.
"Everyone knows the basics of this part of the story, but not everyone knows the 'why' of the crucifixion and the extraordinary events of these 24 hours," Jenkins previously said. "We realized this not only deserved a season of television but a standalone full-length theatrical event as well."
