Your Complete Guide to The Chosen, Seasons 1-5

The Chosen Season 6 premieres Sunday, November 15, 2026 on Prime Video, which makes now the perfect time to catch up, rewatch, or dive into The Chosen for the first time. And if you needed any more motivation, this Christmas we'll also be getting The Chosen: The Three Kings, a new holiday special, airing on Fox. Over the past several years I've covered every episode of The Chosen Seasons 1 through 5 with Bible study and discussion guides, episode recaps, and deep dives into how the show adapts its characters from Scripture. This page collects it all in one place, organized by season, so you can find exactly what you're looking for before Season 6 premieres.

Discussion Guides are built for small groups, church communities, youth ministry, or personal reflection — connecting each episode back to Scripture with questions to explore. Episode Recaps & Analysis break down what happens in each episode and the key biblical themes and ideas that The Chosen is exploring. Character Studies dig into how The Chosen adapts key figures from the biblical text.
