Overview

  • Production on Season 6 kicked off in April with shoots in North Texas and Goshen, Utah, before moving to Matera, Italy, for its pivotal crucifixion scenes.
  • Dallas Jenkins directed a three-week shoot in Matera—including a full week of night filming—to capture the city’s first-century skyline made famous by Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ.
  • The series has been renewed through Season 7, with Season 6 centered on Jesus’ crucifixion and Season 7 slated to depict the resurrection.
  • Season 6 episodes will debut exclusively on Prime Video ahead of a feature-film finale scheduled for March 12, 2027, under the Amazon MGM Studios partnership.
  • Cast and crew hail this installment as the show’s most physically and emotionally demanding yet, noting an 86-day shoot and amplified logistical challenges in bringing gospel events to life.
