“The Hour Has Come”: ‘The Chosen’ Releases Teaser for its Highly Anticipated Season Six
Thousands gathered in San Diego last weekend for Comic-Con, and attendees were treated with plenty of exciting announcements and teasers for buzzworthy upcoming films. Yet perhaps the most noteworthy new trailer circling online this week has nothing to do with comic books or superheroes. A teaser was released yesterday for the sixth season of the smash-hit series The Chosen, and it promises to be an emotional ride.
The gospel has made its way onto the screen many times in recent decades, but arguably no adaptation has played the long game The Chosen has. Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ (2004) showcased the brutality of Christ’s death, but it didn’t cover his earlier life and ministry. Other film adaptations have depicted Jesus’s life and miracles, but due to runtime limitations, the story often feels condensed and abbreviated.
In contrast, The Chosen has devoted five seasons to the ministry of Jesus (played by Jonathan Roumie). In its sixth season, the series will finally reach the pivotal events of the crucifixion. As the official synopsis points out, “It’s a moment eight years in the making.” Judging by the new teaser, which features music that is both haunting and beautiful, this upcoming season will offer a powerful viewing experience. Episodes begin streaming on November 15th, with the finale being released as a theatrical film in the spring of 2027. Watch the teaser below:
