Two of“The Chosen’s”biggest stars have officially filmed their final scenes. Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus, announced his last day on set in a video posted September 17, quoting 2 Timothy 4:6-7 and telling fans,“My friends…the hour has finally come.”Jordan Walker Ross, who plays Little James, followed with his own farewell video on September 18, reflecting on eight years with the cast and crew.
Ross’s message hit especially hard for fans of his character. Little James is one of the few disciples portrayed with a disability, navigating cerebral palsy and scoliosis on screen. In his goodbye, Ross said the role“taught me to be kinder to myself and to love the things that make me different.”That sentiment has resonated across social media as the fandom processes the end of an era.
The good news? There’s still plenty to look forward to. Season 6 begins streaming on Prime Video November 15, and the Season 6 finale arrives exclusively in theaters in spring 2027. Meanwhile, the cast and crew are currently finishing production on Season 7, which will serve as the show’s final season. Which“Chosen”episode do you think you’ll rewatch first to cope with the news?
