‘The Chosen’ Falls From Grace on Streaming Charts Despite New Episodes

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

New episodes of The Chosen arrived on Prime Video on Sunday, and although the show debuted its first batch of Season 5 episodes in one of the top spots, it hasn’t continued this trend with the second drop. The Chosen is now sitting at #6 on Prime Video at the time of writing, falling several spots despite the release of Episodes 3-5. This is the opposite of what most fans were expecting to happen, as it seemed likely that the show would continue to climb as more of Season 5 becomes available to watch. However, this very well may be a temporary setback, and it’s possible that The Chosen could climb even to the top spot before the end of the week. The final three episodes premiere this Sunday, June 29.

Starring in the lead role in The Chosen is Jonathan Roumie, who portrays Jesus of Nazareth. He’s joined by Elizabeth Tabish as Mary Magdalene, Shahar Isaac as Simon Peter, Paras Patel as Matthew, Noah James as Andrew, Shaan Sharma as Shmuel, and more. The show was written and created for television by Dallas Jenkins, with Ryan Swanson and Tyler Thompson also working as scribes. However, Jenkins alone has directed every episode of the series to date, a trend that’s likely going to continue into The Chosen’s final two seasons. The Chosen has already been renewed for Seasons 6 and 7, with the former portraying the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the latter showing his resurrection. The Chosen Season 6 is currently in production, but it will likely be quite a while before it’s released.
