The Chosen’s latest news
According to Forbes, Dallas disclosed that the next season of The Chosen will be mind-boggling during a press in 2024, stating:
I am more excited to bring Season 5 to the world than any other season we have done before. However, it will not premiere until March because it is a huge season requiring much work.
The Chosen Season 5 trailer offers a minute-ish, edge-of-your-seat glimpse of the new episodes that will debut in theatres in 2025 during Lent. In a May 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jenkins narrated how he plans to depict the crucifixion.
Beyond the portrayal of Jesus on the cross and people weeping, we want to mirror His connection with family and friends. I have more tools in my tool belt to depict what happened during the crucifixion period.
