Prime Video’s critically acclaimed Bible series is a fantastic show to binge-watch this Christmas week. Currently trending in the U.S, it’s a must-watch holiday hit and certified fan-favorite with a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes audience score.
This celebrated historical series is so beloved and popular that it even had a theatrical release window earlier this year for its highly anticipated fifth season. If you’re looking for biblical content this holiday week, there’s truly no better show to binge on Prime Video.
The Chosen Is Trending On Prime Video Just Before Christmas
The Chosen is one of the most cherished and audience-approved historical-biblical series ever made, so it may come as no surprise that it broke into Prime Video’s Top 10 U.S. streaming charts just days before Christmas (via FlixPatrol).
The Chosen has one of the highest RT audience scores out of any series available to stream on Prime Video – holding a near-perfect 97% Rotten Tomatoes audience score for all five of its seasons. Fans simply cannot get enough of this historical epic, which will return with a sixth season in March 2026 (and already has a seventh season in development).
The Chosen depicts a mostly biblically accurate portrayal of the life of Jesus. Beginning with 2017’s first season, The Chosen follows the early days of Jesus’ rise to fame and just recently depicted the Last Supper in its fifth season, which was released in June 2025.
The Chosen Is A Perfect Show To Binge This Holiday Season
Religious beliefs aside, The Chosen serves as an entertaining historical series and period drama. Part of the reason why it’s so accessible to a wide range of viewers is that it’s made with such great production value, strong craftsmanship, and passionate storytelling. It has all the fundamentals of any great TV series and is unexpectedly riveting, emotional, and complex.
The Chosen also provides a family-friendly offering that all ages can enjoy, as evidenced by its TV-PG rating. Spanning 41 episodes across five seasons, The Chosen is great for viewers looking for a deeply immersive binge without having to wait months, even years, for new seasons to drop for the journey to continue.
The Chosen has even drawn comparisons to epic historical series like HBO’s masterpiece Game of Thrones. Given its 9.1 IMDb score, which places it at #68 on IMDb’s Top 250 TV Shows of all time (right behind Succession and Curb Your Enthusiasm), The Chosen is truly one of the greatest shows available to binge-watch on Prime Video, and is arguably the very best choice to stream this Christmas week as it trends across America.
