Though the production on the latest episodes was more grand and ambitious, Jenkins told PEOPLE in June 2025 that the creative team's approach wasn't "any different" for the latest installment.
"We're still focusing on the intimate, the personal, the organic, the authentic relationships," he explained. "It's just on a much bigger scale now because we're in Jerusalem and a million people are all gathered, all [Jesus’] enemies, all his friends are all gathered along with the religious leaders and the Roman occupiers in one place in the course of one week.”
With a notable scene now part of the series, fans may wonder if they should anticipate more new episodes to continue the religious saga.
Here's everything to know about The Chosen season 6, including whether it will come back and what the next chapter will be about.

Speaking to The Christian Post in March 2025, Jenkins explained how season 5 served "as a critical bridge between Jesus’ ministry and His ultimate sacrifice."
“There's some pain this season, but Jesus also kicks a little butt before season six,” he said. "[It's] mixed in with some really beautiful intimacy."
At the time, Jenkins also revealed that he was "working on the scripts" for season 6 and mentioned that the storyline would take an "awful" turn.

"I don't think the crucifixion was.I don'tthink we'dbe doing an authentic betrayal if we tried to clean it up," he said.
When comparing it to 2004's The Passion of the Christ, Jenkins said, "We have different tools in our toolbox than what [director] Mel Gibson had."
"We've had five seasons of emotional connection, and so when you get to the crucifixion, I don't need to do a lot of physicality and violence to get the point across," he continued. "So we'll still do some of that, but it won't bequiteas explicit as Mel's."
