(NewsNation) — The actor who portrays Jesus Christ in the TV series “The Chosen” is set to meet with Pope Leo XIV during the pontiff’s general audience in St. Peter’s Square on Wednesday, according to Reuters.

Jonathan Roumie spoke at an event on Monday, ahead of a special Vatican screening of an episode from the show’s upcoming season, which is set to be released internationally next month.

“Coming to the Vatican is always an honour,” Roumie told Reuters. “The possibility of getting to meet the newest pontiff is extraordinary.”

Roumie was joined by his co-stars, including Elizabeth Tabish, who portrays Mary Magdalene; George Xanthis, who plays St. John the Apostle; and Vanessa Benavente, who plays Mary.

“The Chosen” is a historical drama chronicling the life of Jesus Christ. The show’s fifth season includes key moments leading up to his crucifixion, including the Last Supper.

The Vatican screening comes days after wrapping three weeks of filming for Season 6, which will depict the crucifixion. That episode was filmed in the southern Italian town of Matera.
