Seasons & episodes

We had a multitude of Chosen fans on set for 5&2 Day (May 2nd) this year. While there, they sent you their greetings, shared some stories, and cracked a few jokes, too.

From the moment they heard, "You are mine," in Episode One, Audrey and Gail were all in. They see themselves in the show...in more ways than one.

Hear why Kevin was excited to wake up before dawn and join us for Holy Week filming.

Chosen Insider, Chris, speaks with a Jewish woman who knew her Old Testament scriptures, but wasn’t familiar with the New Testament at all—until she came across The Chosen.

If these girls and their dance don’t warm your heart, seek medical attention immediately.

Before he joined us for Holy Week filming in Season 5, Tristian was part of our Feeding of the 5,000 scene in Season 3—but for him, it was a lot more than a scene.

As Passover pilgrims flood into Jerusalem, Andrew, Philip, and Tamar run into a few friends from the Feeding of the 5000. See if you can pick out who they are.

The cast and crew welcome one another back to set with a round of hugs, and Jonathan Roumie is ready to go the extra mile with his Chosen-inspired sneakers.

Dallas receives a friendly hello as he steps into a freshly-dressed Season 5 set. (Bonus points if you can count just how many individual background props our team has carefully assembled on set.)

When you’re portraying Judas Iscariot, all mischief on set counts as “getting into character.” (Noah, if you’re watching this, pay closer attention to your costume.)

Dallas congratulates Shahar Isaac (Simon Peter) on his recent creative venture, "The Road Begins in Capernaum." As an avid photographer, Shahar has captured his Chosen journey in some stunning images. And he’s compiled them into a unique photo book that shows our set side by side with the real locations we’re depicting.

Here’s Alaa (Simon Z) stepping into his very first scene of the season. Anytime Zee is off on his own, you’ve gotta wonder what sort of covert activity he’s up to.

Two questions we’re all asking: 1. What’s happening here? 2. How many takes were required?

Amy Bailey (Joanna) finished her first walk-and-talk scene for Season 5. Because these scenes are physically challenging, completing one is kind of a rite of passage—and of course, no rite of passage is complete without a little razzing.

The clothes make the…Matthew?

Dallas makes the rounds, hugging the guys goodnight as they wrap for the evening, but don’t expect him to read a bedtime story. ;)

Don’t worry, we’re still using our regular cameras, but our cinematographer, Akis, will often use his phone when he’s initially framing up a scene during a practice run like this. It’s especially quick and handy when everyone’s having to hussle because of an oncoming storm.

Joey Vahedi turns his (imaginary) camera on our behind-the-scenes crew and does a slow dolly shot all the way to an extreme close-up.

If you guessed our stealthiest disciple, you were right. ;)

Grab your coffee and enjoy this look behind the scenes of a late-night shoot.

Dallas shows Liz Tabish (Mary Mags) a new scene with Jonathan Roumie captured in one take. Based on her reaction, we're assuming it's not too shabby.

The disciples are headed somewhere in a hurry. Any guesses? Leave 'em in the comments.

Actually, it's pregame time here, but a little later this summer, you'll be able to watch the actual football match—cast vs. crew—right here in The Chosen app.

It’s a sober reality in Season 5: The crowd begins to turn on Jesus.
