Prime Video Snags Exclusive Streaming Rights to ‘The Chosen' and Bear Grylls' ‘Chosen in the Wild'
Amazon MGM Studios and 'The Chosen' producer, writer and director Dallas Jenkins' 5&2 Studios have struck a deal to make Prime Video the exclusive streaming home of the first five seasons of the series, as well as new unscripted series 'Chosen in the Wild' with Bear Grylls. The pact also includes theatrical distribution and streaming rights for new releases about the crucifixion and the resurrection, which will be key components of the final two seasons of 'The Chosen.' In addition, Amazon has signed a first-look series and film deal with 5&2 Studios. ''The Chosen' has had renowned success captivating audiences across generations, and we are looking forward to collaborating with Dallas and 5&2 Studios on a larger scale,' Amazon MGM Studios TV head Vernon Sanders said in a statement. 'As we look ahead, we see massive opportunities to develop additional faith-inspired content for our global Prime Video customers.' 'For several years, the team at Amazon MGM Studios has proved over and over they're passionate about this show and our fans,' Jenkins added. 'They're going to make us better and get the show to more people, and I can't wait to build this relationship.' The historical drama, which is set against the backdrop of Roman oppression in first-century Israel, shares an authentic look at Jesus' life and teachings. Season 5 takes place during Holy Week. 'Tables are turned. Friends are betrayed. And powerful leaders plot the death of Jesus,' the logline states. The latest installment will debut theatrically on March 28, followed by a premiere on Prime Video in the U.S. this June. The series will be available on Prime Video in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America at a later date this year. Meanwhile, 'The Chosen in the Wild' will see Grylls take Jenkins and the cast of 'The Chosen' on their own adventures into the wilderness to find out exactly what makes his guests tick, explore their personal journeys and push them to their ultimate limits over the course of six episodes. Lionsgate handles global distribution for 'The Chosen' and 'The Chosen In The Wild with Bear Grylls.' 'Amazon MGM Studios is the perfect partner to take this already highly sought-after property to the next level,' Lionsgate worldwide TV distribution head Jim Packer said. 'This wide-ranging, multi-territory deal presents a unique opportunity to deepen engagement with 'The Chosen''s loyal fanbase while drawing in new viewers around the world.' CAA represented 5&2 Studios on the deal, together with Andrew Kramer of Willkie Farr & Gallagher, LLP.

‘The Chosen' Gets Exclusive U.S. Streaming Run at Prime Video Under New Expansive Deal With Amazon MGM Studios
Amazon's Prime VIdeo has landed exclusive U.S. streaming rights to Bible epic 'The Chosen,' as well as previously announced unscripted spinoff 'The Chosen In The Wild with Bear Grylls.' It's part of a new wide-ranging deal between series producer 5&2 Studios and Amazon MGM Studios, which also includes a theatrical release component for the next two installments of the hit series about the life of Jesus Christ, played by Jonathan Roumie. The deal was announced Sunday during a livestream on 5&2 Studios' YouTube page, and comes as 5&2 Studios prepares to release Season 5 of 'The Chosen' next month in theaters. After that, 'The Chosen' Season 5 will now exclusively premiere on Amazon's Prime Video in the U.S. this June. ('The Chosen' will also be available, on a non-exclusive basis, on Prime Video in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Sub-Saharan Africa, UK, and Latin America later this year.) More from Variety Julia Roberts, Luca Guadagnino Thriller 'After the Hunt' Sets October Release Date (EXCLUSIVE) 'The Chosen' Season 5 Reveals Posters Photographed by Annie Leibovitz, Tickets Go On Sale for Theatrical Release 'Taylor Lautner: Werewolf Hunter' TV Series in Development at Amazon MGM Studios (EXCLUSIVE) Under the deal, Prime Video will also take over exclusive U.S. streaming rights to the first five seasons of 'The Chosen,' as well as future seasons of 'The Chosen.' 'The Chosen' was previously available on multiple platforms, including Netflix, Hulu and Peacock — but those deals have all expired in recent months. The show has also been run linearly in primetime on The CW, but it's unclear whether Season 5 of 'The Chosen' will still get a broadcast run. Additionally, Amazon MGM Studios will also now hold theatrical distribution rights to the next two installments of 'The Chosen,' focused on the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, which will make up Seasons 6 and 7 (the final two seasons) of the series. Currently, Season 5 is set to be distributed in the U.S. next month by Fathom and internationally by Trafalgar Releasing. This continues the unique distribution model that 'The Chosen' has done since its launch as a crowdfunded indie short in 2017 — including 'The Chosen' app, theatrical, linear outlets and streaming. 'The Chosen' has found success in recent years by premiering in theaters first before moving to other windows. 5&2 Studios founder Dallas Jenkins had been looking at possibly bringing on an exclusive distribution partner for 'The Chosen' ever since he was able to take over full ownership of the series. Last year, an arbitrator ended the relationship between Jenkins' The Chosen LLC and former partner Angel Studios, giving Jenkins oversight of 'The Chosen.' 'For several years, the team at Amazon MGM Studios has proved over and over they're passionate about this show and our fans,' said Jenkins. 'They're going to make us better and get the show to more people, and I can't wait to build this relationship.' Jenkins launched 5&2 Studios in September, after the arbitration ruling gave him control of 'The Chosen.' At the time, he exclusively revealed to Variety his plans to expand 'The Chosen' universe with several new projects, including 'The Chosen In The Wild with Bear Grylls.' Other projects in the works include 'The Chosen Adventures,' a youthful take on the Jesus story, featuring voice actors including Paul Walter Hauser ('Black Bird') and Yvonne Orji ('Insecure'). And after 'The Chosen' wraps, for his next flagship program, Jenkins plans to next write, direct and showrun a three-season series about the life of Moses. The deal with Amazon MGM Studios has so far only mentioned 'The Chosen In The Wild with Bear Grylls,' and made no mention of 'The Chosen Adventures' or future projects. But as part of the deal, Amazon MGM Studios signed a first-look series and film deal with 5&2 Studios. ''The Chosen' has had renowned success captivating audiences across generations, and we are looking forward to collaborating with Dallas and 5&2 Studios on a larger scale,' said Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon MGM Studios. 'As we look ahead, we see massive opportunities to develop additional faith-inspired content for our global Prime Video customers.' Sanders joined Jenkins, the chairman/CEO of 5&2 Studios and creator/exec producer of 'The Chosen' and 'The Chosen In The Wild with Bear Grylls,' on the livestream. Also in attendance was Amazon MGM Studios development exec Traci Blackwell. Lionsgate, which handles global distribution for 'The Chosen' and 'The Chosen In The Wild with Bear Grylls,' negotiated the deal for 5&2 Studios with Amazon MGM Studios, while CAA — which reps 5&2 Studios — handled the first-look component. Insiders noted that Lionsgate has found success in striking third-party deals, including one it did for the hit series 'Schitt's Creek' with Hulu. This one was even more elaborate given the mix of a theatrical window in addition to scripted and unscripted franchises. 'Amazon MGM Studios is the perfect partner to take this already highly sought-after property to the next level,' said Lionsgate's Jim Packer, president of worldwide television distribution. 'This wide-ranging, multi-territory deal presents a unique opportunity to deepen engagement with 'The Chosen's' loyal fanbase while drawing in new viewers around the world.' 'The Chosen' Season 5 has been dubbed 'The Chosen: Last Supper.' Here's the logline: '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.' As for the six-episode 'The Chosen In The Wild with Bear Grylls,' the host 'takes the cast of The Chosen, as well as director Dallas Jenkins, on their own adventures into the wilderness. Bear Grylls will find out exactly what makes his guests tick, explore their personal journeys, and push them to their ultimate limits,' per the logline. Besides CAA, 5&2 Studios is also repped by Andrew Kramer of Willkie Farr & Gallagher, LLP.

‘The Chosen' Season 5 Reveals Posters Photographed by Annie Leibovitz, Tickets Go On Sale for Theatrical Release
As 'The Chosen' Season 5 prepares to premiere in theaters next month, creator/exec producer Dallas Jenkins has unveiled three key art posters — shot by photographer Annie Leibovitz — to promote the upcoming eight episodes. Jenkins and series star Jonathan Roumie shared the posters while on a press tour stop in New York's Times Square on Thursday. The three posters will promote the three parts of Season 5, dubbed 'The Chosen: Last Summer,' which will be released by 5&2 Studios — the newly-formed production company now behind the global hit — in U.S. and Canada theaters starting March 28.

'We're trying to tell stories of some of the most iconic people who ever lived. They actually lived and breathed and had fear and doubt and felt things like joy and betrayal. So in a season like this, where you see all of those things, it felt like the season that was in need of someone most like her to communicate that photographically. When she agreed to do it, we knew that it was going to elevate the show and bring something to it with her portraits that we can't do.' Tickets go on sale this Friday, Feb. 14, for Season 5, which is distributed in the U.S. by Fathom. The series will hit theaters in three parts during a four-week run: Part 1 (episodes 1-2), Part 2 (episodes 3, 4, 5), and Part 3 (episodes 6, 7, 8). 'The Chosen: Last Supper' Part 1 will hit theaters in more than 40 additional territories starting April 10, including Brazil, Mexico, United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Poland, Philippines and India, among others. (Trafalgar Releasing handles international distribution.) Season 5 will then make its streaming debut later in 2025. Here's the logline for 'The Chosen: Last Supper': '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.' Said Leibovitz in a statement: 'I admire what Dallas Jenkins is doing so much… He is the artist of our time doing the Bible.'
