The Chosen returns on Sunday, November 15, 2026, and the release plan is unusual enough to be worth writing down. Season six arrives with three episodes on day one, continues with one episode a week through December 6, and then finishes in cinemas rather than on a streaming service.
The schedule comes from the production company’s own announcement, issued by 5&2 Studios and Prime Video in April 2026, and has not changed since.
The release schedule
- Sunday, November 15, 2026: season six premieres with three episodes on Prime Video.
- Through Sunday, December 6, 2026: one new episode per week.
- Spring 2027: the season finale is released as a stand-alone theatrical film rather than as a streaming episode.
The season runs six episodes in total. That means the three episodes on premiere night cover half the season before the weekly cadence begins.
Where it is available
Alongside the United States, the new season streams on Prime Video in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Sub-Saharan Africa, the United Kingdom and Latin America. Seasons one through five are already on Prime Video, so a new viewer can catch up before November 15 without hunting for another service.
If you are new to Prime Video as an app rather than a website, the viewing experience depends heavily on the device. Our guide to what is worth watching on Prime Video is a reasonable next stop once the schedule is in your calendar.
What season six covers
The season depicts the final day of Jesus’ life. The official synopsis frames it as the events of those hours told through the people around him, with the Pharisees, Romans and his followers each reading the same day differently. Creator and executive producer Dallas Jenkins said the team realised this part of the story “not only deserved a season of television but a standalone full-length theatrical event as well”, which explains the split release.
Jonathan Roumie returns as Jesus. The announced cast 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.
How the theatrical finale fits
This is the part that catches people out. If you watch the six streaming episodes and expect a seventh on Prime Video, you will be waiting for something that is not scheduled to arrive there first. The finale is a cinema release in spring 2027, with no streaming date announced at the time of writing. Plan for a gap between the December 6 episode and the ending.
Practical notes
- Episode timing: Prime Video typically releases new episodes at a fixed time rather than at midnight local, so check the listing on the day rather than assuming.
- Subtitle and language options: these vary by region and are set per title in the app, not per account.
- No episode titles have been published beyond the season’s numbering in the announcement, so any list claiming otherwise is guessing.
