Yahoo Lifestyle ‘The Chosen’ Season 5 Reveals Posters Photographed by Annie Leibovitz, Tickets Go On Sale for Theatrical Release
As “The Chosen” Season 5 prepares to premiere in theaters next month, creator/exec producer Dallas Jenkins has unveiled three key art posters — shot by photographer Annie Leibovitz — to promote the upcoming eight episodes.
Jenkins and series star Jonathan Roumie shared the posters while on a press tour stop in New York’s Times Square on Thursday. The three posters will promote the three parts of Season 5, dubbed “The Chosen: Last Summer,” which will be released by 5&2 Studios — the newly-formed production company now behind the global hit — in U.S. and Canada theaters starting March 28.

“What makes her work so extraordinary is she tells stories — in seconds — and then you look deeper and you find more,” Jenkins said in a statement regarding Leibovitz.. “We’re trying to tell stories of some of the most iconic people who ever lived. They actually lived and breathed and had fear and doubt and felt things like joy and betrayal. So in a season like this, where you see all of those things, it felt like the season that was in need of someone most like her to communicate that photographically. When she agreed to do it, we knew that it was going to elevate the show and bring something to it with her portraits that we can’t do.”
Tickets go on sale this Friday, Feb. 14, for Season 5, which is distributed in the U.S. by Fathom. The series will hit theaters in three parts during a four-week run: Part 1 (episodes 1-2), Part 2 (episodes 3, 4, 5), and Part 3 (episodes 6, 7, 8). “The Chosen: Last Supper” Part 1 will hit theaters in more than 40 additional territories starting April 10, including Brazil, Mexico, United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Poland, Philippines and India, among others. (Trafalgar Releasing handles international distribution.)
Season 5 will then make its streaming debut later in 2025.
Here’s the logline for “The Chosen: Last Supper”: “The table is set. The people of Israel welcome Jesus as king while his disciples anticipate his crowning. But—instead of confronting Rome—he turns the tables on the Jewish religious festival. Their power threatened, the country’s religious and political leaders will go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus’ last.”
Said Leibovitz in a statement: “I admire what Dallas Jenkins is doing so much… He is the artist of our time doing the Bible.”
