Dallas Jenkins previews ‘The Chosen’ Season 5: Big biblical moments and theatrical release dates

Creator Dallas Jenkins teases "big, epic moments" in The Chosen Season 5, covering Holy Week and key biblical events.

The Chosen Season 5 is set to bring some of the most well-known biblical stories to life, according to series creator, writer, and director Dallas Jenkins.

The upcoming season will depict key events from Holy Week, including Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, the cleansing of the temple, and Judas’ betrayal.

Jenkins stated that the season will showcase big, epic moments while also focusing on the intimacy, authenticity, and relationships between Jesus and his disciples. He emphasized that Season 5 will provide a deeper, human perspective on these biblical events, portraying how Jesus’ closest followers reacted in the days leading up to his crucifixion.

For new viewers, Jenkins strongly recommends starting from Season 1 to fully grasp the character development and storyline. He believes the stories will hold more meaning when viewed from the beginning.
