Dallas Jenkins pushed back Monday after a new glimpse of Season 6 of The Chosen showed angels for the first time in the series. He said the teaser was edited without the full scene, and argued that viewers should wait for the episode before deciding what they saw.
Monday teaser, immediate split
The clip arrived with Jenkins saying, “So yeah … I did something a little different this season.” He then warned that anyone claiming to know “what all supernatural beings look like” from the teaser alone should be “seriously questioned. Or ignored.”
That reaction came fast because the show has never depicted angels before, and the new glimpse landed before Season 6 is out. Fans of The Chosen split over the image: some embraced the direction, while others questioned whether the interpretation fit their understanding of scripture.
Matthew 26:53 shaped the idea
Tyler Thompson said the concept started in September while he was working on an early draft for the first episode of Season 6. He pointed to Matthew 26:53 — “Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?” — as the passage that caught his attention.
Thompson said the writers began by imagining what it would look like if viewers could actually see the angels Jesus was describing. He said the team talked it through together and “yes-anded each other on it,” later adding, “We were on a text thread just like pointing out all the different ways the angels could get involved.”
Season 6 keeps the full scene back
Jenkins said the teaser was intentionally brief and left out the full context of the scene. He also wrote, “Some people make ‘certainty’ an idol,” and added, “I have no idea how accurate my depiction of supernatural beings (I show multiple) is this season.”
He closed that response by saying, “I have zero doubt nor issue with the fact that some just won’t like it.” That is the practical bottom line for viewers: the argument is running ahead of the episode, and the show is asking the audience to judge the angel depiction in context, not off a clipped preview.
