Portraying Judas Iscariot is no easy task.
Hes one of historys most infamous figures, a man whose very name is synonymous with betrayal.
The upcoming fifth season is set to explore Judas' fateful decision during Holy Week.

Judas, asThe Chosenpresents him, isnt a villain from the start.
Hes not like a loser, per se, but hes constantly on the back foot, Dimyan says.
He fails a lot, and everyones quick to remind him that he gets it wrong.

And then hes just kind of there, like, Dump that on Judas, yep.
But while both characters have stirred strong emotions, Dimyan isnt entirely on board with the comparison.
Hes cruel, hes sadistic, hes literally having people killed left and right.
And Im over here like, I havent even done anything yet!
For Dimyan, its not about playing a universally hated character that’s not very interesting.
Instead, its about finding the truth in Judas story and making it relatable.
Hes just… lost.
Hes trying to do the right thing in the wrong way, andthats what makes him compelling.
The fifth season ofThe Chosenreturns in March 2025.
Stay tuned for more updates.
