The Chosen, the hit biblical drama, premieres its sixth and penultimate season on Prime Video on Sunday, November 15. The season is the second-to-last in the series, which has built one of the largest audiences of any independent television production in history.
The premiere was flagged in the Benjamonster TV newsletter for the week of November 9, which lists it alongside the week’s other major premieres: The Body and The Rings of Power on Wednesday, The Good Daughter on Thursday, and 12 12 12 on Friday. Sunday’s launch gives The Chosen the weekend to itself, a fitting slot for a show with a devoted audience.
A penultimate season
Season six is the penultimate season, which means the series is approaching its conclusion. The show, which dramatises the life of Jesus and his followers, has grown from a crowdfunded project into a global phenomenon, with seasons released on Prime Video and in cinemas.
The series has built its audience through word of mouth and community screenings, and its Prime Video premieres have become events for its fans. The sixth season will continue the story toward its final chapters, and the seventh and final season will bring the series to a close.
A strong week for Prime Video
The Chosen’s premiere caps a strong week for Prime Video, which also launches The Rings of Power season three on Wednesday. The two shows could not be more different — a fantasy epic and a biblical drama — but both have devoted audiences, and Prime Video will be hoping both deliver strong viewing figures.
The weekly Top 10 charts will show how The Chosen performs, but its audience has been loyal through five seasons, and there is little reason to expect that to change. For fans, Sunday’s premiere is the television event of the weekend, and the penultimate season promises to set up a final chapter that has been years in the making.
