“They get to sort of take care of Him for a moment in the ways that He’s taken care of them for so long,” Tabish says. “It’s a very tender scene, and it’s very unique, I think, to our show.”
Patel also gave a sneak peek into how his character, Matthew, handles the momentous shifts happening in this season.
“For Matthew, he is observing and trying to make sense of things happening. He’s seeing behaviors from Jesus that he’s never seen before. So, he’s trying to understand, but then he’s also like, ‘Let me write this down.'”
Patel further gave a sneak peek into what it was like to film the historic scene of the Last Supper, knowing the weight and significance it carries.
“It was heavy, but it was just a beautiful moment,” Patel says.
With tender and heartfelt scenes like Jesus’ last supper with His female disciples and the emotional weight of the iconic Last Supper, the series continues to bring fresh depth and humanity to familiar stories. This next season promises to capture both the awe and intimacy of walking alongside Jesus, making it a powerful and unforgettable chapter for viewers.
