The third episode of “The Chosen” Season 5 will stream live on YouTube for free next week.
Following the debut of “The Chosen” Season 5 premiere on Prime Video on Sunday, June 15, episode three will air live on YouTube on Wednesday, June 18 at 6 p.m. MDT, Jenkins announced during a recent livestream.
“Chosen” fans can enjoy the episode alongside creator Dallas Jenkins, followed by a Q&A about Season 5 and more behind-the-scenes footage of Season 6 filming in Italy.
“One more thing that’s really cool about this livestream: it’s literally the global premiere,” shared “The Chosen” team. “In many countries, only Episodes 1-2 went to theaters, so this’ll be the first chance for many of you to see it. It’s going to be something pretty special for you, our Chosen team, and thousands of people from around the world to watch it together for the first time.”
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.
“Amazon MGM Studios is the perfect partner to take this already highly sought-after property to the next level,” Jenkins said in a statement at the time, per Variety. “This wide-ranging, multi-territory deal presents a unique opportunity to deepen engagement with ‘The Chosen’'s loyal fanbase while drawing in new viewers around the world.”
In March and April, the theatrical release of the fifth season of “The Chosen” grossed more than $42.4 million in domestic ticket sales, boosting the franchise past $100 million at the box office, as the Deseret News previously reported.
Following the box office success of “The Chosen: The Last Supper — Part 1," creator Dallas Jenkins thanked fans for continued support of the series.
“If you’re one of the faces we saw in theaters this weekend: thank you. Your support sends a huge message to media and makes it easier for storytellers like us to share impactful stories. It also generates more interest and eyeballs,” Jenkins said in a statement shared with the Deseret News.
“And more important, I just hope the episodes are impacting you.”
