THE CHOSEN just inked an exclusive streaming deal with Amazon Prime Video, making the platform the official home of the show. 

“For several years, the team at Amazon MGM Studios has proved over and over they’re passionate about this show and our fans,” showrunner and creator Dallas Jenkins said. “They’re going to make us better and get the show to more people, and I can’t wait to build this relationship.”

Amazon Prime now has exclusive U.S. rights to all seasons of THE CHOSEN, including three future seasons. Season 5 will debut on the streamer in June, following a March 28 theatrical debut.

Part of the deal also includes a first-look series and film deal with 5&2 Studios, Jenkins’ production company. Amazon MGM Studios will also distribute theatrical releases for some episodes of the show’s final two seasons. 

“THE CHOSEN has had renowned success captivating audiences across generations, and we are looking forward to collaborating with Dallas and 5&2 Studios on a larger scale,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television for Amazon MGM Studios. “As we look ahead, we see massive opportunities to develop additional faith-inspired content for our global Prime Video customers.” 

Jim Packer, President of Worldwide Television Distribution at Lionsgate, added, “Amazon MGM Studios is the perfect partner to take this already highly sought-after property to the next level. This wide-ranging, multi-territory deal presents a unique opportunity to deepen engagement with THE CHOSEN’s loyal fanbase while drawing in new viewers around the world.”

Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus in the show, recently spoke to Woman’s World about the upcoming season and what fans can expect. 

“I’m really excited and proud of Season 5. It’s on a whole other level. People have no idea what’s in store,” he said. “I mean, we’ve leveled up the show in ways that I don’t think anybody expected. “The emotional range that we see from Jesus has never been captured in this way before. Nobody’s ever really seen depictions of the things that we’re doing because nobody’s ever attempted it before. So I’m really excited for people to see what’s in store.”
