Five seasons on from its crowdfunded beginnings, The Chosen arrives at its most harrowing chapter. Season 6 covers the final 24 hours of Jesus’ life, from Gethsemane to the Crucifixion, told through those who loved Him and those who condemned Him. And with the cast now filming the seventh and final season, the end of the story is in sight.
HeyUGuys spoke to Jonathan Roumie about preparing, emotionally and physically, to portray the Crucifixion, and how he leaves such a brutal role behind at the end of the day. He also reflects on whether playing those scenes has changed how he understands Jesus’ final words. George H. Xanthis discusses John’s journey from “Son of Thunder” to the disciple of love, and working closely with Roumie this season. Elizabeth Tabish talks about Mary Magdalene watching the man who saved her suffer, the filming days at the cross, and Mary’s bond with Mary, the mother of Jesus. All three also look ahead to saying goodbye as they film the final season.
The Chosen season 6 premieres on Prime Video on Sunday 15 November with three episodes, followed by new episodes weekly. The finale arrives in cinemas in spring 2027.
