Check out the official synopsis for The Chosen Season 5:
"The table is set. The people of Israel welcome Jesus as king while his disciples anticipate his crowning. But -- instead of confronting Rome -- he turns the tables on the Jewish religious festival. Their power threatened, the country's religious and political leaders will go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus' last."
Season 5 of The Chosen is set during Holy Week, continuing the events that will culminate in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Before being nailed to a cross, Season 5 will also cover major events such as the Garden of Gethsemane, the place where Jesus is wrongfully arrested following a betrayal, and the Last Supper.
What is 'The Chosen' About?
The Chosen is a historical retelling following the life of Jesus Christ (Roumie). Taking place during the Roman regime in first-century Israel, the series is told from the perspectives of the people who have encountered Jesus. While Christian media has a reputation for being (understandably) preachy, The Chosen stands out for its engaging and relatable way of storytelling. Biblical stories are known to be grand and out-of-sight because of how sacred these accounts can be, but The Chosen chooses to honor the word of God, all while taking an artistic direction that shows that religion is not just words in the holy book but is truly a way of life in the way believers, act, think, and speak.

Gibson shook the world with his adaptation of The Passion of the Christ. Following the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth (Gibson), the film takes audiences through his crucifixion in Jerusalem. Set at his betrayal by Judas Iscariot, Jesus is arrested and accused of blasphemy. What ensues is the persecution of Jesus, from being flagellated by Roman soldiers and his eventual nailing to the cross. The clutch the film had on viewers is due to its very graphic portrayal of Jesus's death by crucifixion, which Gibson ensures its level of accuracy. Despite the film's gruesome nature and "R" rating, The Passion of Christ delivers a level of authenticity in its performance that matches one of the most important moments in biblical history.
