It is no secret that the original Ben-Hur narrative is a literary **classic**. But when it comes to timeless, universally known stories, the Bible is **the** book! Yet… beyond the good guys, one type of character stays in our memory and holds our attention hostage: villains.

Among the many traits that make someone a villain, the lowest and most painful is being a traitor, and it is impossible to discuss that category without remembering a very specific name: **Judas Iscariot**.

In 2026, **Rafael Lozano**, an actor with experience in major productions and stage plays, will bring to life the man who committed the cruelest and most remembered of all biblical betrayals. Yes, in Seriella's new major release, you will also see Jesus' journey in a way different from other versions of *Lew Wallace's* classic.

**I guarantee you are not…**
