Details on Padalecki and Collins' Boys roles are being kept under wraps at the moment, though the former famously expounded on what he would like to do, ideally clothed, on the twisted comic book adaptation.
Supernatural creator and The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke previously called Padalecki 'the Pokémon I haven't collected yet,' having already enlisted Supernatural vets Ackles, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jim Beaver, Rob Benedict and Christian Keyes to play roles; additionally, Alexander Calvert recurred on the spinoff Gen V.
Bringing Padalecki onto The Boys is a matter of 'finding the right role… even if it's just for a guest shot,' Kripke told TVLine.
Just last spring, Kripke called Padalecki following the cancellation of The CW series Walker.
'He's like, 'Hey, dude, a) so sorry about Walker. I know how much you loved it and great show. Would you be interested in coming to play up in Toronto [where The Boys shoots]?'' Padalecki recalled for TVLine. 'I was like, 'Absolutely. Just let me know if I have to get naked or not because I gotta start working out now.''
'[Eric] and I have talked about what it could look like,' Padalecki shared, adding that he was game to 'go play in the playground [of] the guy who created Sam Winchester. I've had good times in his playground, so I'm happy to do it again.'
As for what kind of character he'd like to portray, Padalecki had his sights set on a villainous supe, with 'the power of wearing clothes,' he said with a laugh. 'No, I don't know…. I just want [Eric] and his f–ked-up mind to think of something cool for me to come and do, and it's going to be better than anything I could have dreamed up. The way his brain works is wildly interesting and outside of the box… So I'll just go with what he creates.'The Boys: Everything We Know About the Final Season

REACHER Season 4 Adds 8 New Faces to the Mix

Reacher Season 4 begins production this week. Eight new cast members — Jay Baruchel, Marc Blucas, Sydelle Noel, Agnez Mo, Anggun, Kevin Weisman, Kevin Corrigan, and Kathleen Robertson — join Alan Ritchson, who plays the titular Jack Reacher. Season 4 will follow the story of Gone Tomorrow , the 13th Reacher novel, published in 2009. Photo Credit: Jasper Savage/Prime Video Prime Video's hit series, Reacher, scored a fourth season renewal in October 2024, four months before Reacher Season 3 premiered. Each season so far has been a fairly accurate adaptation of specific Lee Child novels. The first Jack Reacher novel, The Killing Floor , published in 1997, became Reacher Season 1, while Season 2 jumped ahead to 2007's Bad Luck and Trouble (Jack Reacher #11). Season 3 backtracked to the 2003 novel, Persuader (Jack Reacher #7). RELATED: Read our Reacher Season 3 recaps Earlier this week, Ritchson announced on Instagram that Season 4 will be based on Jack Reacher #13, Gone Tomorrow, first published in 2009. Joining Ritchson for Season 4 are: Jay Baruchel, Sydelle Noel, Agnez Mo, Anggun, Kevin Weisman, Marc Blucas, Kecin Corrigan, and Kathleen Robertson. Who Are They Playing? Amazon teases the Gone Tomorrow plot: 'When a chance encounter with a distraught stranger on a train goes horribly wrong, Jack Reacher is drawn into a complex and deadly game that pits him against ruthless foes from the highest echelons of power.' Based on summaries of the novel, we can sketch out some of the new cast members' roles. Photo Credit:for Netflix Jay Baruchel, seen most recently in FUBAR and heard as Hiccup in the How to Train Your Dragon franchise, plays Jacob Merrick, the brother of the 'distraught stranger' in the description. RELATED: Steven Universe Gets Prime Video Sequel, Lars of the Stars GGA folx will remember Marc Blucas as Riley Finn from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In the interim 23 years since the days of Riley and The Initiative, he's grown into the Reacher role of John Samson, a Washington politician with a squad of thugs on his payroll. Samson's wife, Elsbeth, is another familiar face. Kathleen Robertson appeared as Rosenfeld Guoliang in The Expanse Season 6. (Personally, I'll always remember her as Clare on Beverly Hills, 90210. ) Reacher Rocks Out A newcomer to North American television, but with a successful and established music career, Agnez Mo portrays Lila Hoth, described in the novel as representing herself as the widow of a Russian oligarch. (Strong possibility here that the Hoths will claim a connection to Indonesian political and military forces, considering the casting.) RELATED: TV Review: Reacher Season 3 Another actress with deep music industry ties, Anggun plays Amisha Hoth. In the novel, when Reacher meets Lila, she is a woman named Svetlana, whom she claims is her mother. As Agnez Mo and Anggun are only 12 years apart in age, their relationship may be rewritten. Photo Credit: Jesse Grant/Peacock Playing Detective Docherty, a New York City homicide detective, Kevin Corrigan hits the beat with a partner named Theresa Lee in the novel. I suspect Theresa is now Tamara Green. If I'm correct, that places Sydelle Noel as Reacher's primary law enforcement ally. We can only hope she'll break out some of her G.L.O.W. moves on the baddies. Axe kick, anyone? RELATED: Geek Girl Authority Crush of the Week: Frances Neagley Kevin Weisman's character, Russell Plum, is the only one without a clear Gone Tomorrow connection. There are several roles he could slide into easily. The Samsons have a head of security named Mr. Springfield in the book. Federal agents dog Reacher's steps throughout the plot. Plum could be wholly invented or borrowed from another book (like Maria Sten's Neagley) to fill in Reacher's social circle. Photo Credit: Jasper Savage/Prime Video Speaking of Neagley Maria Sten announced on Instagram a week ago that Neagley, the Reacher spin-off series, wrapped shooting. That puts it on track for a late 2025 or early 2026 release. Alan Ritchson guest stars as Reacher, returning the favor by helping out the way Neagley did in Seasons 2 and 3 of his show. All three seasons of Reacher are now streaming on Prime Video. THE RINGS OF POWER Brings 3 New Cast Members to Middle-earth for Season 3 Diana lives in Vancouver, BC, Canada, where she invests her time and energy in teaching, writing, parenting, and indulging her love of all Trek and a myriad of other fandoms. She is a lifelong fan of smart sci-fi and fantasy media, an upstanding citizen of the United Federation of Planets, and a supporter of AFC Richmond 'til she dies. Her guilty pleasures include female-led procedurals, old-school sitcoms, and Bluey. She teaches, knits, and dreams big.

The 34 Absolute Best Shows to Watch on Prime Video

Reached the end of a binge and ready for something new? Prime Video may offer your next small-screen fixation. Amazon's streaming service is the place to visit for can't-miss originals like The Boys and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. With new shows premiering frequently, such as the postapocalyptic drama Fallout, you can choose a fresh release or start a series you've had on the back burner. Note that Prime Video is now ad-supported and charges an extra fee to remove commercials. Read on for this month's new releases and a collection of the best shows on the streamer. What's new on Prime Video in June Note: These descriptions are taken from Prime Video press releases and lightly edited for style. June 15 The Chosen: Last Supper, season 5 premiere (2017- ): Drama. The new season follows Jesus' triumph to treachery as his final days unfold in a story that changed the world. June 18 We Were Liars, season 1 premiere (2025- ): Thriller. The series follows Cadence Sinclair Eastman and her tight-knit inner circle, nicknamed the Liars, during their summer escapades on her grandfather's New England private island. June 25 Countdown, season 1 premiere (2025- ): Action. When an officer with the Department of Homeland Security is murdered in broad daylight, LAPD detective Mark Meachum is recruited to a secret task force to investigate. Best Amazon Prime Video original TV shows This list focuses on shows that have premiered a new season since 2020. Comedy Prime Video Overcompensating (2025- ) If the news of Max's Sex Lives of College Girls getting canceled left you aching for a new collegiate comedy to obsess over, don't skip Overcompensating. The series' first episode follows university freshmen Benny and Carmen, who feel the pressure to do the deed on night one, lest their social statuses plummet. However, former high school football star Benny is attracted to guys and closeted. Genuinely funny and authentic, this series from comedian Benito Skinner is one of Prime's best new shows. Prime Video The Outlaws (2021- ) Seven strangers are assigned to the same community payback sentence in this appealing comedy thriller set in Bristol, England. The six-episode show is fun, dark and touching, offering an engaging look at its rule-breakers backgrounds and the relationships that form between them. The plot thickens when some members of the group come across a bag of cash. If you need another draw, the show is co-created by Stephen Merchant, who co-created the UK version of The Office. Amazon Studios Undone (2019- ) This unique series uses the Rotoscoping animation technique to tell the story of a young woman who, after suffering a near-fatal car accident, discovers she can manipulate time. Intriguing, right? It gets better: Bob Odenkirk plays Alma's dead father, who enlists her help in investigating his murder. Bending both time and space, Undone is surreal and beautifully existential for those looking for deep material. Jackie Brown/Amazon Studios The Kids in the Hall (2022) Prime Video has resurrected The Kids in the Hall, the Emmy-nominated Canadian sketch comedy show that originally ran from 1988 to 1995. (By "resurrects," I mean the show literally exhumes members of the comedy troupe from a grave they were buried in at the end of the original show. That's just the beginning of the fun.) Follow the comedians as they freak out over mislabeled desserts, fight over imaginary love interests and write Earth's last fax. Be warned: Some of these sketches are highly NSFW. Amazon Studios A League of Their Own (2022) Prime Video's TV series A League of Their Own is inspired by the 1992 film of the same name and introduces new characters portrayed by Abbi Jacobson, D'Arcy Carden and others. In the comedy-drama's first episode, women try out for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in the '40s. The show explores themes of race and sexuality and offers a satisfying period setting and compelling characters. Amazon Studios The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017-2023) A '50s housewife who becomes a standup comic? This brilliant series from Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino is filled with sparkling performances from Rachel Brosnahan and Alex Borstein, with dialogue to match. Set in a vibrant and changing New York, our delightful heroine moonlights as a comedian, while doing her duties as an upper-class Jewish American housewife. With impressive visuals, warmth and zingers, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is the full package. Romance David Lee/Prime Video Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2024- ) Prime Video's Mr. & Ms. Smith cast Donald Glover and Maya Erskine in a story about strangers turned married spies. The eight-episode series reimagines the 2005 action film starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, following the unconventional spy couple as they encounter risky missions and, inevitably, a change in their feelings for each other. Dana Hawley/Prime Video The Summer I Turned Pretty (2022- ) If a coming-of-age tale with a peak summer setting, a teenage love triangle and a soundtrack stocked with Taylor Swift songs sounds appealing to you, keep reading. The show centers on Belly (breakout actor Lola Tung), who makes a much-anticipated annual commute to a beach house with her mom and brother. She looks a bit different than she did the last time she set foot on Cousin's Beach and spent time with her mom's best friend's sons, Conrad and Jeremiah. Young-adult author Jenny Han wrote the book on which the TV series is based and serves as one of the showrunners. Prime Video With Love (2021-2023) Looking for love? With Love might be the perfect feel-good rom-com. The charming premise sees the Diaz siblings, Lily and Jorge, navigate major holidays across the year, from Halloween to Christmas -- major holidays that put pressure on singletons in search of romantic relationships. Follow the Diazes on their journey, along with their delightful and sometimes delightfully awkward extended family. An earnest, enjoyable breeze. Amazon Studios The Pursuit of Love (2021) You're either going to fall madly in love with or arch an unimpressed eyebrow at this romance based on the 1945 Nancy Mitford novel of the same name. The Pursuit of Love follows two cousins who represent different ways of life. Lily James is Linda Radlett, whose exuberant romantic adventures see her travel from London to Paris. Emily Beecham, meanwhile, is Fanny Logan, navigating the confinements of married life. If you're in the mood, this three-episode miniseries will sweep you up into a story of happiness and sadness, laughter and pain. Crime Shane Mahood/Amazon Studios Reacher (2022- ) Adapted from Lee Child's best-selling Jack Reacher book series, Reacher's eight-episode first season packs a muscular punch. Reacher, a brawny former US Army military policeman played by Alan Ritchson, arrives in a small town and is promptly arrested for a murder he didn't commit. Armed with killer strength and some solid detective skills, the protagonist eventually fends off an array of enemies while uncovering a criminal conspiracy. A treat for crime thriller fans and lovers of Child's novels. Amazon Studios Bosch (2014-2021) This seven-season police procedural, inspired by Michael Connelly novels, gets everything right for old-fashioned detective drama. We follow Los Angeles police detective Harry Bosch, played by Titus Welliver, who's haunted by the death of his mother. While catching serial killers and keeping his family safe, he investigates her murder. Functional and no-nonsense, Bosch provides steady mystery with an equally steady lead. Sci-fi Prime Video Fallout (2024- ) Prime Video's video game adaptation is an entertaining postapocalyptic adventure you shouldn't leave sitting in a vault. The series follows three characters occupying the same wasteland. One is Lucy (Ella Purnell), who wanders in search of her kidnapped father and feels the need to invoke the Golden Rule to a cruel post-human Ghoul (Walton Goggins). Meanwhile, an eager Maximus (Aaron Moten) gets his big break as a squire in the Brotherhood of Steel. It's an unpredictable series with humor and gore. Don't let long episode runtimes deter you from exploring Fallout. Prime Video The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy (2024- ) A wacky, stellar adult animated comedy about exceptional alien surgeons, the Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy follows best friends Dr. Sleech and Dr. Klak (voiced by Stephanie Hsu and Keke Palmer) as they perform daily duties like treating a patient using an anxiety-eating parasite (that's just episode 1). The series' out-of-this-world voice cast also features Maya Rudolph, Natasha Lyonne and all five Culkin brothers. Prime Video Paper Girls (2022) The first episode of Paper Girls, a sci-fi TV series based on popular comics by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang, brings together four kids riding bikes on their paper delivery routes in 1988. While that may sound like a sci-fi-er you've binged already, (yep, Netflix's hit Stranger Things), Prime Video's show stands on its own. Follow along as the girls travel through time, navigate powerful adversaries and learn more about themselves. Another reason to watch? Comedian Ali Wong is also part of the cast. Amazon Studios The Expanse (2015-2022) Amazon rescued The Expanse from the realm of canceled TV, bringing us up to six seasons. Thank goodness it did, because The Expanse is smart sci-fi with realistic characters, high production values and a dash of detective noir. Set in a future where humanity has colonized the Solar System, a conspiracy threatens to start a cold war between the largest powers. A band of antiheroes find themselves at the center. Look forward to more space western themes in the consistently excellent later seasons. Drama Prime Video Expats (2024- ) A new miniseries starring Nicole Kidman may be enough to guide your finger to the Play button, but you may also want to know that Expats comes from Lulu Wang, the director of the critically acclaimed 2019 comedy-drama The Farewell. In the six-episode show, Kidman portrays an American woman who's living in Hong Kong and is one of three characters linked by a sudden family tragedy. David Hindley/Prime Video Riches (2022) A soapy drama about a family after the death of their wealthy patriarch sits tantalizingly on Prime Video. In Riches, the will reading goes in an unexpected direction, leading Stephen Richard's two sets of children to vie for control of his business. You'll glide through the stylish first season, which includes Ted Lasso Emmy nominee Sarah Niles. Amazon Studios The English (2022) Gripping Western drama series The English stars Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer as an unlikely duo traveling across a treacherous landscape. The first episode of the miniseries presents some terrible characters and reveals a bit of what motivates both protagonists -- Blunt's aristocratic Englishwoman and Spencer's Pawnee ex-cavalry scout -- to continue in the face of danger. Gorgeous visuals and superb acting make The English worth a binge. Alan Peebles/Prime Video A Very British Scandal (2022) Unfurling over three hour-long episodes, A Very British Scandal dramatizes the highly publicized, real-life divorce between the Duke and Duchess of Argyll in the 1960s. Claire Foy, of Netflix's The Crown, and WandaVision's Paul Bettany star. Ali Goldstein/Amazon Studios As We See It (2022) A newer entry to Prime Video, As We See It earns a spot among its best shows. Starring three actors who identify as autistic, this sincere series follows young adults on the autism spectrum as they navigate jobs, make friends and find love. Neurotypical actors usually play autistic characters on screen, so the casting sets this one apart. It's also heartfelt, funny and poignant, with well-rounded characters you'll want to root for. I could let the show's glowing Metacritic score speak for itself -- but whatever convinces you, this needs to be your next watch. Prime Video The Underground Railroad (2021) Sublime filmmaker Barry Jenkins (Moonlight) takes on adapting Colson Whitehead's novel The Underground Railroad into a powerful 10-episode series. Set in the southern US during the 1800s, the fictional story follows Blacks attempting to escape from slavery via a network of hidden tracks and tunnels. Tapping magical realism and a superb cast including Thuso Mbedu and William Jackson Harper, The Underground Railroad is an emotional and chilling triumph. Superhero Brooke Palmer/Prime Video Gen V (2023- ) Gen V is a spin-off of Prime Video's hit violent and satirical series The Boys. Despite efforts to keep her head down, freshman Marie Moreau gets swept up in a mystery at Godolkin University, a prestigious but shadowy school for superheroes. The new series' strong characters and fresh story establish it as something pretty super in its own right. Another reason to watch? Season 4 of The Boys picks up after the events of the first Gen V season. Amazon Studios Invincible (2021- ) For those who aren't a fan of cartoons, Invincible could be your converter, up there with other adult cartoons like BoJack Horseman and Rick and Morty. Based on a comic book from Robert Kirkman, the creator of the Walking Dead, Invincible follows 17-year-old Mark Grayson and his training to become a superhero just like his father, who happens to be the most powerful superhero on the planet. Episodes run long at nearly 50 minutes, connected into one big, blood-spattered story. A subversive series with a huge cast featuring Steven Yeun, Sandra Oh and J.K. Simmons, Invincible will engross you in its smart animated world. Amazon Studios The Boys (2019- ) The Boys stormed Amazon with its ultra-violent tale of antihero vigilantes seeking revenge against the world's most beloved superheroes. These heroes aren't what they seem: Their corporate overlords cover up their shady personal lives, including sexual harassment and the odd assassination. With social commentary, black comedy and pops of gore, The Boys takes a thrilling and unapologetic step away from the family-friendly genre. Fantasy Jonathan Prime/Prime Video My Lady Jane (2024) Lady Jane Grey, the Queen of England for just nine days in 1553, is the subject of this Prime Video series. The show doesn't stick closely to the events of her life, weaving in fantasy elements like humans who can turn into animals and imagining a world where she met a fate other than execution. Based on a book of the same name and blending comedy, action, romance and more, My Lady Jane is a wild, enjoyable ride you won't find in a history book. Prime Video I'm a Virgo (2023- ) Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You) created this surreal series about Cootie (Jharrel Jerome), a 13-foot-tall Black man who leaves home for the first time at 19. The gentle giant from Oakland, California, experiences friendship, love and more milestones in this coming-of-age story, which brings humor, social commentary and undeniable originality to the small screen. Ben Rothstein/Prime Video The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022- ) Haven't watched Prime Video's buzzy, wildly expensive fantasy series yet? The Rings of Power brings incredible visuals, a sprawling cast and a sense of adventure to the streaming service. It's set thousands of years before The Lord of the Rings, and in part follows a young version of the character Galadriel, who's played by Morfydd Clark. Amazon Studios The Legend of Vox Machina (2022- ) Buckle up for a new animated series that centers on a group of boisterous, belching misfits called Vox Machina. Based on Dungeons & Dragons web series Critical Role (you don't have to be familiar with that to enjoy this show), The Legend of Vox Machina sees its protagonists go from being broke bar-hoppers to accepting a mission to stop evil brewing in Exandria. We're further introduced to the characters in a musical number that occurs about halfway through the first episode. That's right, I said musical number. You'll be down for every element this show throws at you. Why would anyone choose these misfits to fight for the kingdom? "Well ... they do have a bear," one royal decision-maker concedes. Thriller Prime Video The Devil's Hour (2022- ) The Devil's Hour sets up an intriguing mystery: Why is a woman, Lucy, waking up at 3:33 a.m. each night, and why does her 8-year-old son, Isaac, seem oddly emotionless? Starring Jessica Raine (Call the Midwife) as Lucy, Nikesh Patel (Starstruck) as a kind detective and Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who) as a suspicious character, the Devil's Hour is a twisty series that eventually delivers satisfying answers. A bonus? A third and final season is on the way. Niko Tavernise/Prime Video Dead Ringers (2023) Oscar winner Rachel Weisz plays not one, but two main characters in Dead Ringers, Prime Video's version of David Cronenberg's 1988 psychological thriller. The darkly comedic series follows identical twin doctors pursuing their goal of opening a birthing and research center. Spend some time with these unconventional sisters, you'll want to see the whole thing through. York Tillyer/Amazon Studios Chloe (2022) Led by a stellar Erin Doherty, this British thriller will swallow your attention. It centers on Becky, a temp with an unusual pastime: assuming different identities to sneak into fancy art galleries and yoga classes. When a woman she follows obsessively on Instagram suddenly dies, she attempts to uncover more details, once again posing as someone else. Tear away from your timeline and check out this six-episode limited series. Amazon Studios Homecoming (2018-2020) Season 2 of Homecoming didn't quite find its feet, but season 1 hit the ground running. Julia Roberts stars in this psychological thriller about an army rehabilitation facility run by questionable owners. Using an effective, mystery-building narrative that covers two timelines, Homecoming is high on tension and paranoia as it reveals what the facility's true purpose is. Fun fact: The series uses the actual scores of movies from Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick and more. Documentary Prime Video LuLaRich (2021) In LulaRich, the directors of Hulu's Fyre Festival documentary explore the dark side of the multilevel marketing company LuLaRoe. The four-part documentary series interviews founders DeAnne and Mark Stidham and paints a not-so-rosy picture of the women's clothing giant, which is known for its loudly colored and patterned leggings and tops. In the doc, women who joined the company (investing a chunk of money in the process) dealt with stinky merchandise, a toxic culture and challenges in reaching financial goals. Settle in for a fascinating and well-made docuseries that spotlights the stories of former LuLaRoe retailers.

Meet the Real-Life Loves of 'The Chosen' Cast (Including One Couple Who Acted Together on the Show!)

The Chosen may retell Jesus' life by depicting various Bible stories, but the cast has romantic tales of their own. After premiering in theaters earlier in the year, the first part of The Chosen season 5 was released on Prime Video on June 15. While faith-based people across nearly 200 countries steadfastly tune into The Chosen, Paras Patel, who plays Matthew, told PEOPLE in April 2025 that the fans' connection goes beyond religion. 'What I love about our show is that we incorporate real-life moments with scripture added to it,' he said. 'You see things, themes of death, miscarriages and stuff that people can relate to and identify with." He continued, "And I think that's why the audience has really found a liking and understanding of the show because they can relate to that and they see a version of themselves or something they've been through in life." Jesus and his disciples may not be known for their romantic relationships, but that doesn't mean the cast doesn't have robust love lives. While lead Jonathan Roumie appears to be single, Noah James and his wife have been married since 2022, and George H. Xanthis also married that same year. From how playing holy figures have impacted their relationships to how their partners have supported them, here's everything to know about the real-life loves of The Chosen cast. Playing the titular role of Jesus in The Chosen, Jonathan Roumie is not known to be romantically involved with anyone. Though he's been rumored to be married, the actor set the record straight in a 2024 Instagram Live. 'According to the internet, I am married to a woman named Diane in Canada. I don't know who that person is; I don't know where that came from,' Roumie said. 'I am not married to anyone.' During her tenure playing The Chosen's Mary Magdalene, a devout follower of Jesus and the first person to whom he appeared after his resurrection, Elizabeth Tabish married playwright and actor Stan Mayer. The couple largely keep their relationship private, though they frequently post photos of their time together on social media. Tabish gave rare insight into their dynamic in a May 2024 interview with First for Women, sharing that she prioritizes having open communication with Mayer. 'We talk about our dreams and our memories,' she said. 'Having a partner who cares so much about my interior life and where my heart is at is something that I'm deeply grateful for. That brings me a lot of joy.' Shahar Isaac stars as Simon Peter, Jesus' first disciple, in The Chosen. Like many of the cast, Isaac doesn't share much about his private life, and he seems to be single currently. He has, however, spoken about his awe of the show's reach — and the wide array of feelings about its subject matter. "I think what I find very fascinating is how each reaction can be so vastly different," Isaac told Premier Christian Radio in January 2024. "How each person finds another angle of the character ... that's the beauty, you don't have control in it." Noah James, who portrays Simon Peter's brother, Andrew the Apostle, in The Chosen, married his wife Norma James in September 2022. The couple tied the knot in Malibu, Calif., in a whimsical Renaissance-themed ceremony. On their first wedding anniversary, Noah shared photos from their nuptials on Instagram. Alongside shots of himself and Norma beneath a grand floral-wrapped altar, the actor wrote, 'It was the best day of my life and we tried to soak up EVERY second of it.' Paras Patel plays Jesus' disciple Matthew in The Chosen. He isn't currently known to be seeing anyone during his time off set. As far as his character, Patel has said that the love Matthew gets from the neurodivergent community has "fueled" him to "dig deeper." "At the end of the day, everyone wants to see a version of themself or feel like they can relate," he told Movieguide in March 2025. "I think that's what makes Matthew pop for people, they really see themselves." When George H. Xanthis isn't portraying Jesus' disciple John the Apostle on the set of The Chosen, he's spending time with his wife and son. The actor largely keeps his family out of the public eye, choosing not to share their names, but according to Xanthis' Instagram, the couple married in February 2022 and welcomed their first child at the end of 2024. Giavani Cairo, who portrays Jesus' disciple Thaddeus in The Chosen, is in a relationship with news anchor Bella Michaels. The couple began dating in early 2024, and, in an Instagram recap at the end of the year, Cairo called Michaels 'a true gift from God.' '2024 was incredible for so many reasons,' the actor wrote. 'But the best part about it? Having my soulmate by my side.' Jordan Walker Ross is Jesus' disciple Little James in The Chosen, but in real life, he's a husband to his wife Stacy Ross. They share three kids, two daughters and a son. Following the theater release of The Chosen season 3 in November 2022, the actor thanked his wife on Instagram for her unyielding support over the years. 'I'm so glad my wife @skr2688 was able to be by my side after supporting me on this journey for so long,' Jordan wrote. 'Thank you for always believing in me, baby!' Vanessa Benavente plays the virgin Mother Mary in The Chosen, and like her character, the actress is married in real life. In 2011, she said 'I do' to fellow actor Sergio Lanza, who has portrayed Lamech in a few episodes of the historical drama. The couple welcomed their first daughter, Olivia, in 2018, followed by Amaia in 2022. During an April 2025 interview with Omnes, Benavente said that playing Mary has influenced how she parents. 'I take it back to me, to my home,' she said. 'They can make mistakes five hundred times; we, as their parents, will continue to love them. But we don't love them because they do things right, but because they are them.' Luke Dimyan's role in The Chosen is that of the famous traitor Judas Iscariot. Like some of his costars, Dimyan isn't known to be in a relationship. Though he isn't romantically involved with anyone, the actor is close with his family. In November 2022, he and his loved ones went to the theater to see a showing of The Chosen season 3, which was his first on the show.
