The disciples are drowning in grief. Peter and John are running toward the tomb. Through this incredible turmoil come the words that change everything: “He’s alive.”
The Chosen is giving viewers a powerful first glimpse behind the scenes of its final season, teasing some of the most pivotal moments in the gospel story as the series moves toward the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The newly released footage shows Peter and John racing toward Jesus’ tomb; another clip shows Mary Magdalene bringing the earth-shattering news to the disciples that Jesus is alive. Other scenes capture the disciples wrestling with grief and later traveling together, offering a glimpse of the emotional journey ahead.
And behind the cameras, the weight of reaching this moment appears to be sinking in for the cast and crew.

“With that, let’s go right into day one of our final season of the show,” show creator Dallas Jenkins announces as production gets underway.
The behind-the-scenes montage also captures lighter moments, including members of the cast singing together on set as they embark on the final stretch of a television journey that has brought the life and ministry of Jesus to audiences around the world.
Yet the images teased for the upcoming season suggest something far greater than the end of a television series.
The disciples may be grieving. The tomb may be sealed. For a moment, all may appear lost.
But Sunday is coming, and death does not get the final word.
