‘The Chosen’ season four ended with Jesus, played by Jonathan Roumie, who raised Lazarus from the dead. Which caused a stir between the people and the Gentiles. The official ending was Jesus on a donkey three days after he was crucified. When he descended into heaven he said to his disciples, “ I will be back for you. ¨
The season finale put a better perspective on the start of season 5, which will be focused on the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus and the events of the last supper. Leading up to the crucifixion, the season will be wrapped around the resurrection of Lazarus, and Jesus being handed over to the Romans. The season will also include events like the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus was betrayed and arrested.
Returning cast members are Elizabeth Tabish (Mary Magdalene), Shahar Issac (Simon Peter), Naoh James (Andrew), Jonathan Roumie (Jesus Christ). George Xanthis (John), Paras Pathel (Matthew), Luke Dimyan (Judas), Jordan Walker Ross (Little James), Abe Martel (Big James), Noah James (Andrew). Austin Reed Alleman (Nathaniel), Allaa Zafi (Simon the Zealot), Yoshi Barrigas (Phillip), Giavani Cairo (Thaddeus), and Joey Vahedi (Thomas).
Season 5 will also feature the people of Israel welcoming Jesus as king while his disciples anticipate his crowning, but instead of confronting Rome he turns the tables on the Jewish religious festival. Their power threatened the country’s religious and political leaders to go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus’ last.
