Elizabeth Tabish gives us her insight to how Season 5 will unfold!

Transcript

00:00This season takes place over the course of Holy Week, so there's some really

00:06pivotal moments in Jesus's ministry that happened this season and it feels like

00:12we're like running out of time because you know the inevitable is just around

00:18the corner and and it's it's not quite tragic yet but it does feel there's this

00:27urgency to the season that that we're all feeling that sort of it feels

00:33unpredictable and unexpected and we're just kind of trying to navigate what

00:40what Jesus has told us very publicly that what is about to happen to him and so

00:46this season Mary is is trying to stop it from happening honestly she's she she's

00:54been listening she's been paying attention to what's been going on and and

00:57she's wanting to help him in any way she can she doesn't know that it's

01:02inevitable you know these characters don't know that it has to happen but you

01:07know she's doing everything she can to try to help them so Jesus tells everyone

01:11very plainly what's going to happen to him and I think everyone deals with it in

01:16their own ways I think a lot of the disciples don't want to believe it nobody

01:20wants to believe it and so there's this maybe denial or hope that it's figurative

01:27instead of a literal occurrence and and others are trying to maybe fight this

01:38this from happening Mary wants to stop it from happening and she goes out to to

01:48seek this those who can maybe help her maybe help stop this I think the the

01:55biggest thing that she's seeing occur is the Pharisees the religious leaders

02:01really misunderstanding or not not wanting to understand what Jesus is saying

02:10they're all so insulted by what he's been saying that they can't see him for who he is and and so I

02:19think she's almost wanting to like if they could understand who he really is maybe

02:25they won't want to put him to death and so I think there's just there's a lot of

02:31struggles and a lot of politics going on and in the midst of all of that Mary is

02:38trying to to navigate it to maybe change the course of things I think they've built a

02:45second soundstage so I haven't seen it yet I'm not in any of the scenes but yeah

02:52they've got these two wonderful studios essentially where they can build sets

02:59within them to keep us from the Texas heat just wonderful and so yeah I'm it'll

03:06be a surprise to me as much it is to viewers whenever we get to see it but from

03:11what I hear it's going to be incredible I don't know if I can share it there were

03:17there were two scenes that I was really excited when I read them one of them

03:24surprised me one of them didn't surprise me as much but I was very grateful that

03:30the writers included it and you know there's there's one where a group of us

03:37women get to share with Jesus what he means to us and it was it's just so

03:45beautiful to ship to to show these women taking care of Jesus in the way that he's

03:49taking care of everyone and so I thought that was really lovely to get to see that

03:55in this season and then there's another scene that I can't say anything about but

04:01I'm very very excited for everyone to see one of my favorites yeah
