THE CHOSEN Season 5 Will Make You Feel …
By Movieguide® Contributor
Season 5 will make you feel… speechless. At least that’s what the cast of THE CHOSEN believe. In a video posted to YouTube, the cast of the hit biblical series can be seen speechless with solemn looks on their faces when trying to convey just how season 5 will be.
Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus, is seen looking sadly at the camera with a loss for words. Elizabeth Tabish who plays Mary Magdalene holds the shape of a heart with her hands and then breaks it in half. Amber Shana Williams who plays Tamar covers her mouth and closes her eyes looking sad. But why?
According to creator Dallas Jenkins, Season 5, “covers the most important and influential week in the history of the world, Holy Week. And so we start to see now, we start to get in Jesus’ head a little bit. We start to see what he’s thinking and feeling as he approaches the cross.”
“We start lean into the fact that the disciples are confused.. Why is Jesus dividing people here? Do we have a chance in Holy Week…a million Jews are together. Why aren’t we unifying so that we can defeat the Romans? And Jesus is doing the opposite so we really explore that. But Jesus also gets to kick a little butt this week too.”
Tabish said, “In season 5, ‘everything is escalating. It’s Holy week so it’s just this very condensed time but so much happens as we all know. It’s gonna be heartbreaking. It’s gonna be challenging to experience, but it’s also, I don’t know, some of my favorite stories. So I am excited.”
Jenkins previously posted a photo of Jonathan Roumie as Jesus holding a whip at the temple. “Yes, Season 5 is going to be sad at times. But there are also some major kick-butt moments. Including this one.”
THE CHOSEN: LAST SUPPER premieres March 20 in Dallas, Texas. The full theatrical rollout begins with Part 1 on March 28. Part 2 hits theaters on April 4, with Part 3 on April 11.
Several fans commented on the trailer, celebrating the upcoming release.

“The Chosen has helped me learn so much about the Bible. I am forever grateful for this series,” one person wrote.
Another said: “I’ve been on edge about this for so long and now suddenly I feel unprepared 😭😭😭😭.”
Someone else added: “Even though I know what happens I still scream ‘NO JUDAS. DON’T DO ITTTT!!!'”
