All episodes of The Chosen Season 5 are now streaming on Prime Video, but the show has experienced a slight fall from grace thanks to the arrival of new competition. Dallas Jenkins’ hit religious series is currently holding on to the #10 spot on Prime Video streaming charts in America, but it was, at one point, hanging onto the top spot. It has since been dethroned at #1 by Ballard, the Bosch: Legacy spin-off show that has earned a perfect 100% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes thus far. The latest season of The Summer I Turned Pretty is also a newcomer to the Prime Video top 10, and despite premiering several weeks ago, John Cena and Idris Elba’s new action movie, Heads of State, is also still topping streaming charts.

The Chosen Season 5 premiered in theaters earlier this year in three parts, and while returns were low compared to previous installments in the franchise,...

The Chosen is a groundbreaking, multi-season television drama that brings to life the story of Jesus Christ and the people whose lives he touched. Created by Dallas Jenkins, the show focuses on the human side of Jesus and his disciples, portraying them with warmth, humor, and realism.

Unlike other biblical adaptations, The Chosen delves deeply into the backstories of the characters, exploring their personal struggles, relationships, and growth as they journey with Jesus. The show’s innovative approach, heartfelt performances, and moving storytelling have earned it a global fanbase.

The Chosen aims to present a fresh perspective on the life and teachings of Jesus while making the stories accessible and relatable to modern audiences. It also invites viewers of all backgrounds to experience the timeless message of love, faith, and redemption.

The Chosen recently wrapped up all three installments of Season 5 in theaters, and although Last Supper - Part 3 finished its run as the lowest-grossing of the bunch, fans are still excited to see what creator Dallas Jenkins has in store next. Prime Video has already announced that the fifth season will begin streaming on the platform on June 15, but it looks like it’s going to be a while before The Chosen returns to the big screen. Jenkins recently took part in a Q&a to talk about the future of the franchise, and when asked about Season 6, he came right out of the gate with a release window for the first six episodes:

"So, season six, one thing I will clear up, because there's been some rumors in the past, here's what's happening. Season six, the first six episodes, are going to be coming out sometime next year. It won't be early next year…...

Angel Studios released The Chosen in 2017, and it has been a hit ever since, meaning that multiple spinoffs and shows are in the works. Typically, when a series is a success, one spinoff is ordered. If its achievements continue, then the universe of said series can keep on expanding. However, for The Chosen, five spinoffs were announced at once, meaning that fans of the Christian historical drama have a lot to look forward to in the coming years. Plus, following the release of The Chosen season 4, the original show still has a handful of seasons to go before it ends.

Dallas Jenkins, the creator, director, and co-writer of The Chosen, is launching a new production studio called 5&2 Studios, which is the umbrella under which he will develop the upcoming spinoffs.

Hauser is proud of his choice and took to Twitter to explain why. Responding to a Twitter user who complained about Hauser's decision, he elaborated that he is joining the show for several reasons.

Over two decades since its inception, Cruel Intentions is still being talked about by fans. The teen film was hailed as a cult classic and has become an integral part of '90s cinema history. While we were blessed with some fantastic teen films in the '90s — She's All That, 10 Things I Hate About You, and Clueless — Cruel Intentions stands out among the pack as going beyond the usual saccharine, romantic teen film into all-out scandal and intrigue. The film shaped a generation, pushing the boundaries until they broke. No one had seen a teen film like Cruel Intentions before, one that was both sophisticated and risqué. “It was kind of that movie that you weren’t supposed to let your parents know you’ve seen,” said Jordan Ross, the co-creator of Cruel Intentions: The Musical, in a 2017 interview with The Telegraph. There is something darkly compelling about the film — you can identify,...

“I have severe scoliosis and minor cerebral palsy,” Ross told Deadline, reaching out after reading our coverage of a SAG-AFTRA panel on disabled performers. “Because of my conditions, I have a pretty noticeable limp, very limited flexibility in my torso and legs and am much shorter than the average person [5’4”]. Needless to say, my physical differences have negatively impacted my opportunities as an actor. I have been told by casting directors to ‘lose the limp,’ and was even cut out of projects because my limp was too noticeable.”

He said that when he was cast,...
