The first episode of “The Chosen” Season 5 is streaming live on YouTube for free this weekend.
On Sunday, June 8 at 6 p.m. MDT, “Chosen” fans can watch the first episode of Season 5 alongside creator Dallas Jenkins, members of “The Chosen” cast and fans, per a press release shared with the Deseret News.
The episode will be broadcast live from a surprise, “secret” location. The special stream comes a week before Season 5, Part 1 releases on Prime Video.
“This might not be your only chance to watch an episode of Season 5 before it’s on Prime Video. But you’ll have to join the Watch Party to find out more,” said “The Chosen” team in a statement shared with the Deseret News.
The statement added, “Once the livestream airs, the episode will only be available in the recording for 72 hours, so don’t miss your chance to see it early.”
Also during the livestream, news about “The Chosen” Season 6 will be announced, as well as international release dates for Season 5, per the press release.
“Dallas (Jenkins) thinks this is going to be our biggest livestream of the year, so we want you there,” it says.
In mid-February, Dallas Jenkins, writer-director of “The Chosen,”announced a wide-ranging deal between his 5&2 Studios and Amazon MGM Studios.
The partnership with Amazon MGM Studios will aid in expanding the series’ audience and bring “legitimacy to the show,” Jenkins said while announcing the news via livestream.
