Exclusive look at The Chosen Season 5’s Last Supper key art by Annie Leibovitz, cast interviews, and release dates.
What’s new with The Chosen Season 5?
PEOPLE’s exclusive preview reveals stunning key art by legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz, who joined forces with the show’s team to capture the Last Supper’s emotional gravity.
Shot over four days on set, Leibovitz’s portraits blend biblical reverence with cinematic drama, lighting up Times Square billboards ahead of the March 28 premiere.
Why was Annie Leibovitz the perfect fit?
A longtime fan of the series, Leibovitz jumped at the chance to merge her artistic vision with The Chosen’s storytelling.
Her decade-long desire to interpret Biblical themes finally found its match here. Jonathan Roumie (Jesus) and creator Dallas Jenkins celebrated the artwork’s NYC debut, marking the show’s meteoric rise from a crowdfunded project to a global phenomenon.
How does The Chosen approach Judas’s story?
Luke Dimyan, who plays Judas, shared his Coptic Orthodox upbringing and fascination with the character’s complexity.
“His guilt destroyed him—it’s heartbreaking,” he told PEOPLE.
The series digs into historical tensions, like Roman occupation and economic strife, to humanize figures often reduced to villains.
What makes Season 5 stand out?
Split into three cinematic parts, the season adapts the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Returning cast members like Shahar Isaac (Simon) and Elizabeth Tabish (Mary Magdalene) anchor stories of faith and struggle.
Dimyan praised Jenkins’ balance of historical accuracy and creativity: “It’s not just about Jesus—it’s about the world around him.”
When can fans watch?
Season 5 hits theaters March 28, with episodes rolling out in three segments. Streaming will follow later in 2025.
For now, Leibovitz’s haunting visuals—and Dimyan’s nuanced Judas—hint at a season steeped in emotional and spiritual depth.
