“There’s going to be just a little bit more darkness in this season,” Brandon Potter, who plays Quintus in The Chosen, told The Stream’s Nancy Flory in a recent interview.

“And obviously that means the hope burns brighter. … I’m proud of the things that we brought in that regard, that we get to tell as sort of a more nuanced story with a little bit more friction, a little bit more pushback, the stakes are a little bit higher.”

Watch the full interview above and stay tuned, as The Chosen’s Season 3 is set to be released this holiday season.

The Stream will have more interviews coming soon with several of the cast members and staff.
