Prime Video Secures Exclusive Streaming Rights for The Chosen
Exciting news for fans of “The Chosen”! Amazon MGM Studios and Dallas Jenkins’ 5&2 Studios have teamed up to bring the first five seasons of the hit series exclusively to Prime Video. Plus, get ready for a new unscripted series called “Chosen in the Wild” featuring Bear Grylls.
In addition to the current seasons, Prime Video will also have streaming rights for upcoming releases about the crucifixion and resurrection, which are vital parts of the final two seasons of “The Chosen.” This collaboration also marks the beginning of a first-look series and film deal between Amazon and 5&2 Studios.
Vernon Sanders, head of TV at Amazon MGM Studios, shared, “’The Chosen’ has been incredibly successful in captivating audiences of all ages, and we are thrilled to work closely with Dallas and 5&2 Studios to bring more faith-inspired content to our global Prime Video viewers.”
For those new to the show, “The Chosen” is a historical drama that offers a unique perspective on Jesus’ life and teachings in first-century Israel. Season 5 takes viewers through Holy Week, where we’ll see tables turn, friends betrayed, and powerful leaders plotting Jesus’ demise.
The latest season will premiere theatrically on March 28 before making its way to Prime Video in the U.S. this June. Fans in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America can also look forward to streaming the series later this year.
But that’s not all! Buckle up for an adventure with “The Chosen in the Wild,” where Bear Grylls will lead Dallas Jenkins and the show’s cast on thrilling journeys into the wilderness. Over six episodes, Grylls will uncover what makes his guests tick, explore their personal stories, and push them to their limits.
This new venture with Amazon MGM Studios is an exciting opportunity to expand the reach of “The Chosen” and connect with a global audience. With Lionsgate handling international distribution, the show is set to reach new heights and bring in more viewers worldwide.
