Bring The Chosen
to your church

Across six episodes starting this fall on Prime Video and into a full-length motion picture this spring, The Chosen takes viewers to the foot of the cross to see the matchless love of God in the selfless act of His Son. The Chosen Crucifixion opens exclusively in theaters on March 12, 2027. From now through November 14, churches can exclusively show the first episode of the new season of The Chosen at no cost.
