“It's our biggest season yet. It's on the biggest stage. This demands to be seen on the big screen more than in any season we've ever done, even the cameras we use, the lenses we used,” creator Dallas Jenkins told The Christian Post.
“This was meant to be big, and yet, my favorite stuff about this season are the small moments, the intimate moments, the time we spend with Jesus and His followers at the Last Supper. […] He spends some time with the women followers and his mother before he does with the men. And there's so much beauty and intimacy mixed with the pain of what's to come that that is just imbued throughout this season and the performances from our cast.”
