“The Chosen” has dropped a teaser trailer for its highly anticipated Season 5, set to release in April 2025. The trailer, just over a minute in length, shows Jesus and his disciples seated at the Last Supper, Jesus’ Triumphal Entry, and coins falling into someone’s hand.
“Listen carefully,” Jesus says as the trailer opens, showing him and his disciples seated at their final meal together. “Because I’m going to tell you what is about to happen.”

‘The Chosen’ Releases Powerful Season 5 Teaser Trailer
Dallas Jenkins, writer, creator, and director of “The Chosen,” announced in October that Season 5 will be released in theaters this coming April. Earlier this year, Season 4 of the hit series was released in February and March, breaking ground as the first streaming TV show to be released in theaters in its entirety.
While Jenkins has shared the news that Season 5 will not be released all at once, he has not given specific details yet about what that process will look like, nor has he shared the initial release date. Jenkins has simply said that Season 5 will release in “early April” and be available “all the way through the Easter season of 2025.”
Season 4 concluded with an emotional scene showing Jesus mounting a donkey as he and his followers head towards Jerusalem. Elizabeth Tabish, who plays Mary Magdalene, said it was “one of my favorite scenes to film because we were all together, and we didn’t have to do very much.”

In a 2023 livestream celebrating the conclusion of filming Season 4, Jonathan Roumie, the actor who plays Jesus, said at the time that filming that season was the most difficult for him out of all of the seasons up to that point. Roumie and Jenkins agreed that Season 4 was “deeper” and had a greater emotional weight than previous seasons.
It seems likely that weight will only increase as the story follows Jesus to his death. Season 5 takes place over Holy Week, and Tabish described the taxing nature of Roumie’s task. “Just being friends with Jonathan [Roumie] and knowing what he’s going to have to go through, performing this, and seeing the weight of this role on him,” said Tabish, “is just devastating, you know?”
