While many fans of the hit series “The Chosen” are still enjoying the newly released season 5, the show’s creator and director recently announced that the much-anticipated sixth season will not follow its typical premiere schedule and that some portions of the show will be slightly delayed.
During a nearly 2-hour Q&A just released on YouTube, Dallas Jenkins broke the disappointing news that the hit series, which reads between the lines in depicting the ministry of Jesus, will not follow its typical release schedule.
In the last two years, Season 4 was released in theaters in February 2024 and Season 5 was released in late March and early April of this year.

However, Season 6, which will depict the crucifixion of Jesus, will not follow the previous pattern and will not be released in the first half of 2026.
In fact, Jenkins said he will not be announcing future release dates “until we have them locked in.”
“Season 6 is going to take us longer to film than any season we’ve ever done, by far, so that, of course, then pushes the post-production process as well,” he explained.
/**/The director listed a couple of reasons for the delay.
One was that the crew requested more time to edit the show.
“The process of getting these seasons to you at the cadence that we’ve been doing has been extraordinarily taxing on the team,” Jenkins said. “The quality control process has been much faster and tighter than most shows and movies. That’s caused a lot of pain, a lot of challenges.”
“The team that works on this is extraordinarily stretched thin, and so it’s just a very, very difficult process,” he continued. “They’ve been begging me to give a little bit more of a cushion. And so we’re going to definitely be doing that for future seasons.”
Jenkins explained another reason for the delay is coordinating international logistics, including releasing the series in other languages.
“That takes a lot of time – the translation, the dubbing, the subtitling, all of that takes a very long time,” he shared. “We are trying to release as many… languages at one time as we can.”
