Prime Video’s Chosen Christmas Special Officially Sets December Release Date on Fox

A December television premiere

The Chosen: The Three Kings is scheduled to air on Fox on December 14, 2026, at 8/7c. Hulu will make the special available the next day. The release is timed between the first six episodes of Season 6 and the season’s two-episode theatrical finale, which is about the Crucifixion and is set for March 2027.

The trilogy’s final chapter

The new drama is the final installment in The Chosen’s Christmas trilogy. It follows The Shepherd, released in 2017, and Christmas With The Chosen: The Messengers, released in 2021.

The franchise has also produced two spin-off series. Its main story follows Jesus through the experiences of people who encountered him, including disciples, religious leaders, officials and ordinary people.

Season six and cast details

Five seasons of The Chosen have been released. Season 6 is scheduled to premiere on November 15, 2026. The series was created, directed and co-written by Dallas Jenkins, with Jonathan Roumie playing Jesus. The special has a smaller cast: Taye Diggs, Piter Marek and Rahul Rai portray the Three Wise Men—Balthasar, Melchior and Gaspar, respectively.

The series’ recent performance

The Chosen reached No. 1 in the United States after Season 5 debuted in June 2025, and remained in Prime Video’s top 10 through the end of that year.

The series has received positive viewer reactions worldwide and holds a 97% Popcornmeter score on Rotten Tomatoes. Its first season premiered on VidAngel, a faith-based streaming service, after the pilot aired on Facebook on December 24, 2017.
