We Just Open Our Eyes: Shahar Isaac and Paras Patel on the Living World of THE CHOSEN

On the set of The Chosen and Lazarus House, Shahar Isaac and Paras Patel—Peter and Matthew—talk about the world James Cunningham built so completely that the actors simply open their eyes and the reality is already there. With Season 6 streaming on Prime Video beginning November 15, 2026, and the theatrical film The Chosen Crucifixion arriving March 12, 2027, the conversation returns to the Texas fabric of the series, the relationship built from nothing between the fisherman and the former tax collector, and the discipline of staying inside each moment rather than the ending everyone already knows.
