Exciting news for fans of “The Chosen” series! Season 5 has been officially released in theaters nationwide.
“The Chosen: Last Supper” delves into the events of Holy Week, from Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem to Judas’ betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Part 1 of Season 5 premiered in theaters on March 28, followed by Part 2 on April 4 and Part 3 on April 11.
Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus in the series, shared his experience portraying significant moments such as the Last Supper and the washing of the feet. As a Catholic, he finds it meaningful to reenact these events during the Triduum each year.
“For me, it was living out liturgy,” he expressed during a press junket interview at the Season 5 premiere in Dallas on March 19. “I try to best replicate a level of authenticity for those scenes based on my experience of the liturgy.”
Roumie described these scenes in salvation history as “stunningly beautiful” and believes viewers will be deeply moved by the unique presentation of these powerful moments.
He added, “I hope it lands the way it felt when we did it because there were moments where many of us were just kind of wiping away the tears from our eyes right after the scene, or during the scene.”
