Beginning 27 March, the fifth season of the hit series “The Chosen,” which focuses on the life of Jesus and his closest disciples, will hit theatres in the weeks leading up to Easter, which is 20 April.
The latest instalment, “The Chosen: Last Supper” portrays the events of Holy Week. 5&2 Studios announced 25 November that “The Chosen: Last Supper” will be released in the US and Canada in three parts: Part One (episodes 1-2), Part Two (episodes 3-5) and Part Three (episodes 6-8).
The Season 5 trailer shows Jesus arriving in Jerusalem, throwing the merchants and money changers out of the temple, glimpses of the Last Supper, and other events leading up to his passion and death.
Speaking at the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis 20 July, Catholic actor Jonathan Roumie, who portrays Jesus, described the season as containing “probably the most iconic scenes in Jesus’ life and ministry because the institution of the Eucharist is basically what gave himself to us for eternity.”
He said that a primary reason these scenes were so meaningful to him is because of the Eucharist in his own life.
Beginning 10 April, “The Chosen: Last Supper” Part One will also roll out theatrically in more than 40 global territories. The season will debut later in 2025 on streaming services.
