💨 Abstract

Matera, Italy, is serving as the backdrop for the sixth season of "The Chosen," reimagining the city as ancient Jerusalem. The cast and crew have been filming in Matera, known for its unique stone architecture and dramatic cliffs, which adds authenticity to the religious drama's depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Actor George Harrison Xanthis, who plays the apostle John, finds filming on location immersive, while director Dallas Jenkins seeks authenticity in the landscape.
