The Chosen Season 5 trailer is here — and this time it’s setting the scene for one of the most important moments in biblical history: The Last Supper. This season is titled The Chosen: Last Supper, where we get in deep to explore the days leading up to Jesus’ Last Supper with His disciples, filled with tension, betrayal and profound significance of it all.
The trailer shows us from Jesus confronting the money changers in the temple to Judas’ inner turmoil, all told in a season replete with deep emotion and dramatic intensity. This season is, perhaps, also set to be a compelling continuation of the series that has captured the hearts of audiences all around the world, as it is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on June 15, 2025.
Judas’ Dilemma is More Than Just a Betrayal
The trailer shows The Chosen Season 5 reinforcing the despair felt by Judas Iscariot’s internal conflict, with deep complexity. He tells Caiaphas that he believes Jesus is probably a messiah, but he has to carry out his action because he didn’t see enough decisive action from Him. The existence of such a portrait of Judas implies that he might have betrayed Jesus because he thought this might incite Jesus to fulfil this definition of Messiah’s role which he held on to.
Actor Luke Dimyan, who plays Judas, pointed out something that was not immediately clear about this portrayal—that Judas is wrestling with shifting viewpoints and questioning his true goals. This helps deepen our knowledge of Judas’s character, where he is no less a betrayer than that, but a man torn between his understanding of faith and purpose.
Jesus Takes a Stand
In The Chosen Season 5 trailer, Jesus makes a bold stand unlike anything we have seen so far, cleansing the temple in a pivotal moment that highlights his authority and at the same time challenges the religious establishment. And the scene so vividly shows Jesus overturning tables of money changers and thrusting out merchants, ‘for my house should be a house of prayer but you have made it a den of robbers!’
The righteous indignation he exhibits isn’t just stopping the corrupted practices taking place in the temple; it kicks off the events which will lead to the Last Supper and his crucifixion. Although this confrontation is intense that it captures in the trailer, it does capture just how the tension grows between Jesus and the religious leaders of Jerusalem.
The Last Supper Is A Moment of Intimacy and Foreboding
The Last Supper scene in the trailer for The Chosen Season 5 has a deep intimacy — a looming foreboding. Beginning the account with Jesus turning to His disciples it reads, “Listen carefully,” Jesus said to His disciples, solemnly. “I am going to tell you what is about to happen.” The trailer highlights the deep connection between the disciples, mixed with the weight of one, soon to betray and one, soon to be sacrificed.
The room is heavy with emotion as Jesus breaks bread and shares wine, the seriousness of the moment not lost to anyone present. With a salt and mutual despair for what comes after, it embodies the duality of fellowship, providing a taste of the emotional heft the following season promises.
Visuals and Music
The music used in The Chosen Season 5 trailer blended hauntingly with the thorough visuals also to set up a tone as sorrowful and intense as it possibly can be. The cinematography is both sumptuous and skillfully composed; Jerusalem is invariably breathtakingly and intrinsically big, like Chacaoan architecture and it is in the intimate moments, like the Last Supper, that the camera really shines.
Johnny Cash’s version of ‘God’s Gonna Cut You Down,’ a song which is key to the themes of judgment and sacrifice is showcased through this visual storytelling. Cash’s gravelly voice mixes perfectly with the rhythmic clapping and the weight of the trailer’s emotion is amplified, as in when Jesus cleanses the temple. While this piece of music stands on its own, the visuals that accompany it create a powerful prelude to the season’s exploration of betrayal, sacrifice and redemption.
