“I think it’s pretty extraordinary for a TV show,” Jenkins said. “It’s just really cool to watch a TV show, especially a historical drama in the first century, be recognized in popular culture as something worth looking at their own merits, not just as a niche Jesus project that the cemetery can appreciate on a weekend.”

The director also shared that while the last season, which focuses on the week for the last meal, was produced on a much larger scale, the creative process behind the scenes was essentially the same as it has always been.
“Our strategy is no different (in season 5). We are still focusing on the intimate, the personal, the organic, the authentic relations. It is only on a much larger scale now because we are in Jerusalem and a million people are all gathered, all (Jesus) enemies, all his friends are all gathered together with the religious leaders and the Romanes and the Roman Occupations The religious leaders and the Roman occupants in a place for a week) “All (Jesus) enemies, all his friends are all gathered with the religious leaders and the Roman occupations in a place in a week)” all weeks.
