Season 5, Episode 1 Aftershow
“We didn’t really have to act very much,” says Liz Tabish (Mary Magdalene). Welcomed with hosannas and palm branches by 600 background actors, The Chosen cast felt like they were truly experiencing Jesus’ Triumphal Entry. Liz, Abe Bueno-Jallad (Big James), and Ivan Jasso (Yussif) give us the disciples’ perspective on this amazing start to Holy Week—and on the “thunder” that soon follows. The writers, Ryan Swanson and Tyler Thompson, talk to us about two reversals: the choice to open each episode with the Last Supper, but in reverse chronological order, and the inversion of the Triumphal Entry—the tragic destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70.
