ET goes behind the scenes of ‘The Chosen’ as 600 extras bring one of the series’ most pivotal scenes to life: Pontius Pilate sentencing Jesus to crucifixion. Speaking with ET’s Cassie DiLaura, Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus, shares what it was like facing the massive crowd, comparing the intense shoot to a giant stage play with the momentum of a runaway freight train. Roumie and Vanessa Benavente also share behind-the-scenes stories, from the show’s humble crowdfunded beginnings to its biggest season yet, which filmed for nearly 90 days across Utah, Italy and Texas. Plus, Roumie reveals how he resists tempting treats on set, names some of the show’s most famous fans and his meeting with the Pope. The first three episodes of Season 6 premiere Nov. 15 on Prime Video, while the theatrical finale, ‘The Chosen: Crucifixion,’ arrives in theaters on March 12.
