Yoshi, portrayed by Yoshi Barrigas, was written off the show “The Chosen” after Season 1 due to off-screen issues.
In more detail, Yoshi Barrigas, who played the role of Jesus’ disciple Thaddeus in the first season of “The Chosen,” did not return for subsequent seasons. The exact reasons for his departure have not been publicly disclosed by the show’s creators or Barrigas himself. However, it is not uncommon for television shows to recast roles or write characters out of the storyline due to various reasons such as contractual disagreements, scheduling conflicts, or creative decisions. The show continued without the character of Thaddeus being prominently featured, and the focus remained on the development of the other disciples and their interactions with Jesus.
