CHOSEN, THE: SEASON 5 (2024)

The 5th Season of the extraordinary series The Chosen revolves solely around Holy Week - the fateful days before the arrest of Jesus. His triumphant entry into Jerusalem, in which the masses cheer him and celebrate him as the Anointed and coming king. This arouses the distrust of the Judean and Roman authorities. When Jesus scolds the religious leaders and forcefully throws the merchants out of the Temple, the situation becomes worse. The governor Pontius Pilatus and the vassal king, Herod Antipas push the responsibility back and forth, while the high priest Caiaphas does everything to ensure that this Passover is the last of Jesus. The disciples are confused and uncertain, especially Judas. What is actually his own role in all this? At the last communal supper Jesus explains to his disciples exactly what will happen and why. But will they understand?
