The Chosen Season 6 Officially Confirms Prime Video Release Date After Theatrical Run
Season Six Heads to Prime Video
The upcoming sixth season of The Chosen will be the second chapter in the series to reach Prime Video after a theatrical run. The article does not provide a specific release date, despite the headline’s claim that one has been confirmed.
Jonathan Roumie leads the season as Jesus, whose final hours are at the center of the story. The series’ theatrical releases have been handled by Fathom Events.
The Series’ Release Strategy
Previous theatrical installments, combined with Season 5, have earned more than $120 million at the box office. The article describes the theatrical-to-streaming approach as a hybrid model that has worked, in part because faith-based audiences remain underserved.
Amazon also has the rights to release the seventh season, which is already in motion. The article says it will presumably arrive between the two Mel Gibson sequels, which tell the same story.
A Competitive Faith-Based Market
The article places The Chosen’s return in a growing faith-based film and television market. It notes that several movies have expanded the category’s reach since the original The Passion of the Christ became a major success more than two decades ago.
Angel Studios is identified as a significant participant in the space, with recent word-of-mouth hits including The King of Kings and David. The article also points to Mel Gibson’s two-part follow-up to The Passion of the Christ.
