Dallas Jenkins teased three scenes from the upcoming sixth season of “The Chosen” during a livestream Sunday night — noting that the scenes in the next installment of the biblical drama are both “heavy” and filled with “joy and beauty and meaning.”

Jenkins, the creator behind “The Chosen,” said he believes the sixth season of the biblical drama “is going to impact more people than any season we’ve ever done.”

“This is the moment when we’re going all in,” Jenkins added. “All the five seasons previously have led to this, to Seasons 6 and 7.”

In the first of three teaser clips, Jenkins gives fans a glimpse of what the first episode in the sixth season will look like. The 30-second clip depicts the moment Jesus is arrested and the chaos that follows among his disciples, concluding with questions about Judas’ whereabouts.

“These are the little things that you don’t always think about when you’re remembering or reading the gospel story is how the word was spread about Judas, how the disciples were figuring out what to do,” Jenkins said after sharing the clip.

“The theme of Season 6 in many ways is how devastated and confused the followers of Jesus were, but they still had to trust and they still had to have faith.”

The highly-anticipated sixth season will depict the final 24 hours in the life of Jesus Christ, known as Good Friday. Audiences will see Jesus’ arrest and crucifixion along with the confusion among his disciples that ultimately leads them to scatter.

The second clip Jenkins shared is a scene from the first episode of Season 6, showing the disciples walking away from the Garden of Gethsemane after witnessing Jesus’ arrest.

“This is the kind of stuff that we don’t always think about. What happened in that moment, how did they react to it? We did what we believe is a plausible capture of what they would have been talking about,” Jenkins said.

He added that this scene offers a lesson on where to turn “when we are in the midst of suffering, sadness, confusion, doubt, pain.”

The livestream concluded with a bonus clip capturing Judas in the aftermath of his betrayal.

Jenkins said filming the sixth season of the biblical drama was “by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my career.”

Many scenes in the upcoming season will be “heavy” and painful to watch, he added, but he urged viewers to stick with the series as it will be “worthwhile.”

“I also can promise you that this season is not just heavy,” Jenkins said. “It’s also got joy. It’s also got beauty … it’s not just going to be a full season of just pain and misery.”

Jenkins gives updates on Seasons 6 and 7

Season 6 of “The Chosen” will begin a phased release this fall, and official release dates will be announced this Friday, Jenkins said.

“We are putting the finishing touches right now on the season,” Jenkins said.

He explained that Season 6 is “taking abnormally long” because all six episodes and the finale will be released in dozens of languages — instead of translations being added after the show’s release.

Visual effects in the upcoming season are also more extensive, he added, and each episode has a longer runtime than previous seasons.

“There’s just a ton of work that is going into it,” Jenkins said. “The visual effects team has been working nights and weekends to try to get this across the finish line … it’s just a very, very difficult season, (with) very, very difficult content to finish.”

“I just cannot wait for you to see it,” he added. “It really is coming together beautifully.”

The first six episodes in the sixth season of “The Chosen” will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in fall 2026, followed by the global theatrical release of the season finale in spring 2027, Jenkins announced at ChosenCon in February.

Filming for the seventh and final season of “The Chosen” will begin in a month, with the script and other details currently entering their final phases.

“I’m still recovering from Season 6. I don’t know how I’m going to do this,” Jenkins told the Deseret News when reflecting on the upcoming filming for Season 7, which will include production in Goshen, Utah.

“We’ll come back to Utah. We’ll be there for about a month,” Jenkins added. “Hoping to get in a couple naps beforehand, though, because I’m exhausted.”
