The Chosen Season 5 Now Streaming as It Tells the Story of the Last Supper
The wait is over. Season 5 of The Chosen, titled Last Supper, officially arrived today, June 15, 2025, on Amazon Prime Video. Known for bringing a fresh, emotional, and human lens to the story of Jesus and his disciples, this new season picks up right where things were getting intense — leading viewers straight into the final days before the crucifixion.
This chapter is different as it shows the weight of betrayal, loyalty, confusion, and purpose all come crashing together as the story moves toward the Last Supper — a turning point not just in the life of Jesus, but in the lives of those closest to him.
Additionally, the season is being released in batches, rather than all at once:
- June 15: Episodes 1 and 2 dropped today.
- June 22: Episodes 3, 4, and 5 will follow.
- June 29: The final three episodes (6, 7, and 8) will wrap up the season.
Right now, it’s only available to stream on Prime Video. If you already have an Amazon Prime subscription, it’s included; If not, there’s the option to subscribe to just Prime Video by itself.
But here’s the good news — even if you can’t access it now, the show will be made available for free in a few months. After 90 days, you’ll be able to watch it on The Chosen app, the show’s website, and even YouTube — just like earlier seasons.
What’s Season 5 About?
This season focuses on the final week of Jesus’s ministry — the week Christians often refer to as “Holy Week.” It includes emotionally charged scenes like the cleansing of the temple, Judas’s growing inner conflict, intimate conversations among the disciples, and of course, the iconic Last Supper.
Moreover, the way the series handles these moments isn’t like most Biblical dramas. It doesn’t just move through events, it lets you feel them.
Jonathan Roumie returns once again as Jesus, continuing his quiet but commanding portrayal. Alongside him, the familiar ensemble cast brings depth to characters like Matthew, Peter, Mary Magdalene, and Judas — each one facing personal battles as the shadow of betrayal and sacrifice looms.
From Theaters to Your Living Room
Before it arrived on streaming, parts of Season 5 were actually shown in cinemas across the U.S. and beyond. The theatrical release performed incredibly well, with fans showing up in large numbers. It reminded everyone just how much love and community surrounds this show.
Finally, if you’re wondering what comes next, yes — there’s more. Season 6, which will cover Jesus’s trial and crucifixion, is already in the works, with filming already underway in parts of the U.S. and Europe. And the creators plan to take the story all the way through the resurrection with Season 7, which will be the final chapter.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
