THE CHOSEN’s cast and crew are sharing their favorite parts of making Season 4 of the hit TV show.

“How high-stakes the scenes have gotten and how intense they get,” Abe Bueno-Jallad, who plays Big James, said. “I don’t think we’ve ever had a season that’s truly like this one.”

Lara Silva (Eden) joked that her favorite thing about the upcoming season was “that I don’t really have to do a whole lot.”

“This kid, Jared, he’s trying to get through chemo currently,” Giavani Cairo (Thaddeus) shared. “So a few of us went there from week to week and just tried to cheer him up. That’s the most rewarding experience this season.”

Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus, pointed to some “really great…one-on-one scenes” that he got to have with characters he hasn’t really interacted with in previous seasons.

Director and co-creator Dallas Jenkins agreed with Roumie, adding that he loves the “quieter scenes” between two characters “where we just get to really explore the depth of thought and emotions that Jesus and the disciples go through.”

Season 4 promises to be bigger than ever before, with Jenkins calling it “our most emotionally challenging season.”

“There was the year of preparation, the year of population is happening, and [Jesus is] increasing in popularity,” he explained. “Season 4 is where it starts to turn.”

While the upcoming season is building towards the crucifixion, Jenkins told Fox News there are still some bright spots.

“There’s lots of joy, there’s lots of laughter, there’s lots of miracles that we get to experience, which is one of the reasons why we want people to see this on the big screen and see this together,” he said. “But season 4 is a time where the fact that the people around Jesus just aren’t quite getting it and the reason that he’s here does start to get bigger and more important in his ministry.”
