Dallas Jenkins Gives Fans Sneak Peak of New Projects
The first six seasons of “The Chosen” will be available on Prime Video this fall, with season six, featuring the crucifixion of Christ, arriving in theaters in the spring of 2027. Dallas Jenkins, the series’ director and creator, updated fans on the latest news at the recent ChosenCon event.
“Season six is the biggest season we’ve ever done, without a close second,” he said. “It took the longest to film, by far. The visual effects, the translations, especially, have taken at least two to three times longer than any season we’ve ever done.”
Part of season six was shot in Italy.
“Even though it’s an extraordinary setting, the backdrop still has modern things that have to be painted out,” Jenkins said. “And so there’s tons of shots that require visual effects, and it’s just supersized. The whole season is supersized.”
Filming for season seven will begin in a few weeks. “Can you believe that?” he said. “I can’t. I’m not ready. I’m still recovering from season six. We’ve got things like the ascension and all of that, that we’re figuring out right now. We’re like, ‘All right, how are we going to figure out how to do that?’”.
Jenkins also provided updates on other projects, such as “The Chosen in the Wild with Bear Grylls,” which will appear on Prime Video this year. The eight-episode limited series “Joseph of Egypt” is in post-production and likely will be released in the first half of 2027.
“It is really turning out beautifully,” he said. “We’re very, very proud of it. The connection from the Old Testament to the new, the stories of Joseph and his brothers and Jacob, are really an essential part of `The Chosen’ universe that we are building.”
Jenkins said he will take a break after season seven is finished before beginning work on two other projects, the three-season “Book of Moses” and “The Way of the Chosen,” which will focus on the Apostle Paul and the events chronicled in the book of Acts.
