First look at Dallas Jenkins's new Joseph series leaked

Chosen & Pop put a Joseph of Egypt behind-the-scenes reel on Facebook Wednesday: men in period tunics kicking up desert dust, a boom mic over an actor in robes, a camera pointed at the take. The caption says the Chosen-universe Genesis series is already filmed, sitting in post-production, with Adam Hashmi as Joseph and no release date announced.

That is the public record, restated with set tape. Prime Video ordered the eight-episode limited series in August 2025 from Amazon MGM Studios and Dallas Jenkins’s 5&2 Studios. Craig Wright writes and showruns. Alexander Siddig plays Jacob. Babak Tafti, Daniel Peera, and Iris Bahr are among the billed brothers and Leah. Production shot outside Albuquerque. Jenkins told fans on a December livestream the cameras were done and the series would probably arrive in 2027.

A fan reel, not a Prime Friday

The Wednesday clip is not a studio trailer drop. It is a fan page recirculating production footage under a news card that still cannot print a premiere. Jenkins already showed Joseph set material during 2025 livestreams, including a wrap-week first look at Hashmi and Siddig in costume. What is new this week is the reminder in the feed: the shoot is over, the edit is not a product yet, and Prime’s calendar is blank.

The Chosen finished its last cameras last week after 528 days. Season 6 still opens on Prime November 15. The crucifixion Friday is March 12, 2027. Joseph is the Genesis prequel sitting in the same Amazon corridor, built to travel with the Jenkins brand without waiting for Season 7’s 2028 window. A boom mic over a robe is not a release date.

What post still has to answer

Amazon’s order logline is Genesis 37 through 50: betrayal, Egypt, power second only to Pharaoh, then the brothers at the door. Wright has said one question the series will chase is why Joseph never sent word home for twenty years. That is a showrunner’s problem for an edit bay, not a Facebook caption’s.

How long can Joseph of Egypt stay in post before the BTS stops reading like news? The open question is the Friday Prime prints, and whether Hashmi’s Joseph reaches subscribers before the crucifixion movie occupies the spring faith calendar.

The beatOn the upcoming board

The Chosen Season 6 is a title this desk is watching. Windows, studios, and the rest of the slate live on Upcoming.
