‘The Chosen’ is casting Cain and Abel for North Texas filming. How to apply
“The Chosen” is looking to cast a few familiar faces for season 6 filming in North Texas.
The Biblical drama series, based on the life of Jesus, is currently shooting its sixth season in Midlothian. Since season 3, the series has primarily filmed at Camp Hoblitzelle, which is about 35 miles southeast of Fort Worth.
Texas-based Brock Allen Casting recently put out a notice for extras to portray Cain and Abel, the sons of Adam and Eve.
For those who need to brush up on their Sunday school, the brothers are introduced in the fourth chapter of Genesis as a farmer (Cain) and shepherd (Abel). After God showed favoritism to Abel, Cain grew jealous and eventually murdered his brother.
Here’s how to apply for either role.
