Don’t Miss The Chosen: The Last Supper in Theaters This Easter Weekend

Let me just say it: Easter is a whole lot more than baskets and bunnies around here. Yes, we love the family brunch, the egg hunts, and those pastel-colored Reese’s eggs I hoard like they’re going out of production—but we also try to slow down and focus on what really matters. This year, that chance is literally showing up on the big screen.

This Easter weekend, The Chosen: The Last Supper—Parts 1, 2, and 3—is hitting theaters for a special limited run thanks to Fathom Entertainment. If you haven’t seen The Chosen yet (or maybe you’re only a few episodes in), this is the moment to get caught up in one of the most powerful, emotionally resonant depictions of Jesus’ life I’ve ever seen.

So… What Is The Chosen?

In the simplest terms: The Chosen is the first multi-season show about the life of Jesus Christ, told through the eyes of the people who actually walked with Him—fishermen, tax collectors, outcasts, mothers, doubters, and the deeply faithful. It’s a show built around human stories, not just biblical quotes. It’s not preachy, it’s not polished into fake perfection, and it doesn’t sugarcoat the emotional weight of the time.

This is Jesus and His disciples in the thick of life—laughing, grieving, doubting, believing. And it’s stunningly done. The acting, writing, and cinematography are next level. It feels like you’re right there, witnessing how radical Jesus’ love really was.

The last season has been a heavy one—it builds toward the Last Supper, and trust me, you feel the intensity as relationships deepen and tensions rise. Now, with this special theatrical release of Season 5 Episodes 1 through 8 split into three parts, you can experience these turning-point moments where they belong: on the big screen, in community.

Whether you’ve followed every episode or are jumping in now, this is a great place to connect or reconnect. The storytelling is strong enough to stand on its own, and the emotion is undeniable. There’s something sacred about being in a theater, surrounded by others, sharing this story together—especially on Easter weekend.

Here’s the thing. As a parent, I’m constantly looking for ways to build meaningful traditions that go beyond sugar and snapshots. The Chosen gives us that chance. It’s a series that actually sparks conversation with our kids—about who Jesus was, about doubt, about sacrifice, about grace.

And it’s real. My kids see the apostles as flawed, emotional, sometimes scared human beings, and they get to wrestle with what it meant to follow Jesus. It’s not just a Sunday School highlight reel—it’s a layered, thoughtful, living narrative. You can’t help but start asking deeper questions as a family. And that’s the whole point.

Watching it together—especially over Easter—is a way to recenter. It’s a reminder of the heartbreak and the hope that Easter holds.

This won’t be in theaters forever. This is a limited engagement, and honestly, some of the most powerful moments of the series so far are in these episodes. You get betrayal, miracles, quiet prayers, and confrontations that will stop you cold. And then, there’s the Last Supper itself—handled with reverence, beauty, and heartbreak.

This is the kind of experience that stays with you. The kind that gets under your skin in a good way. It gets us really thinking about the purpose of the Easter season.

If you’re looking for something meaningful to do with your family this Easter weekend—something that feeds the heart, not just the belly—go see The Chosen: The Last Supper in theaters. Parts 1, 2, and 3 are playing now through the weekend at select theaters. Grab some popcorn, bring tissues, and show up ready to feel something real.

You’ll walk away a little quieter, a little more reflective, and honestly, probably more grateful for this story we celebrate every year.
