Prime Video’s Acclaimed Religious Series Is Back in the Top 10 on PVOD Ahead of Season 6

by

Now that a sixth season is confirmed, viewers are rediscovering the popular Prime Video drama, causing it to climb the charts for digital rentals. For a limited time, you can also find the series on sale through iTunes.

According to FlixPatrol, the TV series The Chosen is currently the third most popular show on iTunes as of February 21, 2022. It quickly rose in the rankings, starting at number seven on February 20th. This jump is likely due to a sale on iTunes offering the complete first five seasons for just $19.99 – a significant discount from the regular price of $79.99. This offer is temporary, so anyone interested in watching the series should purchase the bundle soon to take advantage of the lower price.

The Chosen Is Prime Video’s Acclaimed Christian Historical Drama

Premiering in 2019, The Chosen is the first TV series to portray the life of Jesus of Nazareth over multiple seasons. It tells his story through the perspectives of those who knew him – his disciples, Jewish leaders, Roman officials, and everyday people – and features a cast including Shahar Isaac, Elizabeth Tabish, Paris Patel, Noah James, and George H. Xanthis.

A truly impressive aspect of The Chosen – and a major reason for its ongoing global popularity – is that its first season was funded by fans through crowdfunding. The creators initially made the series available to watch for free, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, but later seasons have been shown on different streaming services for limited times.

The series The Chosen has become widely available globally and has also achieved an impressive feat: a remarkably high score on Rotten Tomatoes. Season one currently boasts a 100% approval rating based on 8 reviews, and viewers have given it a 99% rating with over 5,000 votes.

Wow, this show is a phenomenon! We’re talking about 280 million viewers worldwide, which is just incredible. And the creator, Dallas Jenkins, has landed a huge deal with Amazon MGM Studios. Here’s the exciting part: seasons five, six, and seven are going to premiere in theaters! But don’t worry, Prime Video subscribers, you’ll get exclusive access for 90 days before everyone else can watch for free. It’s a really interesting move that blends the theatrical experience with streaming convenience.

Prime Video’s Religious Drama Already Has Final Season Plans

With five seasons already available for streaming, The Chosen is ideal for binge-watching, and more episodes are in development. After initial releases in theaters, the series has earned over $120 million and plans are underway for the next two seasons.

As a huge fan of The Chosen, I’m so excited to share the latest news! They started filming Season 6 back in April 2025, and apparently shot some incredibly powerful crucifixion scenes on location in Italy. Filming wrapped up in September, and we’re currently looking at a 2027 release date for the new season. Even better, they’re planning a seventh and final season to follow in 2028! Of course, they haven’t given us specific dates yet, but just knowing it’s coming is fantastic.

You can now watch The Chosen on Prime Video in the US, and it’s also available to buy on iTunes.
