The Biblical drama, based on the life of Jesus, has primarily filmed at Camp Hoblitzelle in Midlothian since season 3. The show held its season 5 world premiere in Red Oak in March 2025, ahead of its three-part theatrical release over consecutive weekends just a couple of weeks later.
Series creator Dallas Jenkins posted an Instagram story marking the start of production on Monday, April 27.
“Day 1 of 90 of our final season,” Jenkins wrote.

Additional notices were posted on April 24 for a “buff Asian man” and female stand-ins.
