As season four of the acclaimed historical drama The Chosen is unveiled, viewers will delve further into the emotional layers of this biblical reimagining. The entire eight-part series will screen in cinemas for the first time and the epic religious adaptation will once again feature a huge ensemble and recurring cast. Filmmaker Dallas Jenkins is clear that the story is humanistic and relatable yet presented with historical fact that can appeal to a broader global audience. 

This new season will focus on the growing importance of Jesus’s (Jonathan Roumie) mission, yet show us the opposition he faced from authorities, different religious faiths and internal conflicts. As we head towards the final months before Jesus’s crucifixion, a huge shift is felt in the storylines as we watch the retelling of Christ’s final chapters and the death of John The Baptist (David Amito), who was part of Jesus’s inner sanctum and helped deliver God’s message to his disciples.

The Upcoming had the pleasure of attending the global premiere of The Chosen season four in London and had a chance to speak to the cast and creatives of this faith-based series, who shared what it meant to them to be part of this beautiful story.

Jonathan Roumie spoke about coming back on board for the new series and how he prepared to play the formidable role of Jesus.

We spoke to Elizabeth Tabish about what the series meant to her and what viewers can expect as the new chapters unfold. She also spoke about her brilliant working relationship with Roumie and returning to form.

Paras Patel chatted to us about the new instalment, what it felt to come back into the new storylines and how unbelievable it felt to have reached such a global audience who treasure the show.

We spoke to Noah James about returning as his character Andrew to the show and how it feels to be part of such a phenomenal series.

Shahar Isaac chatted about his character development in the coming season and what it meant to him to be part of the new chapter. He also spoke about the meaning of the show for audiences worldwide.

The show producer Brad Pelo spoke about bringing the new season to screen and what viewers can expect. He also spoke about the evolving storylines and what he hoped viewers would take away.
