What The Chosen Season 5 Means For The Show

There’s Another Season On The Way

The streaming release of The Chosen season 5, which is also referred to as Last Supper, comes after the installment was released in theaters in recent months, both domestically and internationally. It has grossed $60 million so far. The new season sees Jesus face triumph and deceit in his final days. Though he gets a king’s welcome in Jerusalem, religious leaders scheme to squash his growing influence. While Jesus hopes to share one last meal with his followers, Judas makes a deal that impacts both their fates.

Jenkins has noted that, after a 90-day period on Prime Video, The Chosen will be available to watch on its free app.

Collectively earning more than $139 million at the worldwide box office to date, the franchise is boosted by The Chosen cast which includes Shahar Isaac as Peter, Paras Patel as Matthew, Elizabeth Tabish as Mary Magdalene, Noah James as Andrew, George H. Xanthis as John, Abe Bueno-Jallad as Big James, Vanessa Benavente as Mother Mary, Luke Dimyan as Judas, Richard Fancy as Caiaphas, Paul Ben-Victor as King Herod, and Andrew James Allen as Pontius Pilate. They’ll all be back for season 5.

The wait is just about over, with a June release looming, and it’ll be interesting to track whether the series grows its audience because of its availability on a high-profile platform.
