Come and See CEO Stan Jantz shared that “Season 5 is fully funded because more than 100,000 people from around the world gave to make Season 5 of this groundbreaking series possible. The extraordinary generosity we witness daily is inspiring because it enables us to continue making the authentic Jesus known to the world one episode at a time.”
With season five filming the events of Holy Week, Jenkins hinted that audience members would likely see a ficticious backstory of Judas Iscariot, who would betray Jesus and then hang himself (a recent storyline featured Jesus choosing not to heal the Apostle Thomas’s fiancee after a Roman official straight up murders her in front of them)
Jesus outright told the disciples, ‘One of you will betray me.’ They didn’t have a hallway for it. They couldn’t understand it. They couldn’t figure out who it might be. So why is that? Why couldn’t they figure out it was Judas. I love exploring that. How does this impact Judas? Judas probably had a family.”
