Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus in 'The Chosen,' told The Salt Lake Tribune that the series' upcoming sixth season will depict the Crucifixion in a way never done before on screen. He expressed gratitude for the support the show has received from Latter-day Saints, who have been among its most enthusiastic viewers.

'The Chosen' has drawn significant viewership from the LDS community since its 2019 debut, with the Church's distribution arm helping promote early seasons. The series streams for free and has become the most successful crowdfunded media project in history, raising over $100 million from viewers.

Roumie's comments come as the show prepares to film its most pivotal scenes. Season 6 is expected to air in 2027.
