TVLine's Performer of the Week: Jonathan Roumie
THE PERFORMER | Jonathan Roumie THE SHOW | Prime Video's The Chosen More from TVLine Were Arachnophobes Bugged by Criminal Minds? Is Resident Alien's Joseph Gone for Good? Did Steamy Adults Kiss Launch 'Ship? More Qs! The Buccaneers Season 2 Premiere: Leighton Meester Makes Dramatic Entrance as [Spoiler]'s Mother Poker Face EP Answers Our Burning Question: Why Does Charlie Confront Murderers Alone and Unarmed? THE EPISODE | 'Entry' (June 15, 2025) THE PERFORMANCE | 'Listen carefully, because I'm going to tell you what is about to happen….' With its Season 5 premiere, The Chosen began dipping into the Last Supper that Jesus shared with his disciples before his crucifixion, and series lead Roumie — with the words above, and all that followed — infused each and every moment with an earnestness befitting the pivotal occasion. Now, we and Jesus know where this story is heading, but Simon Peter, Matthew et al do not. As such, Jesus' every syllable landed with a great, and at times haunting, weight. 'In a little while, you will not see me. And then after a little while, you will see me,' he told them. 'Truly, truly I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice.' The way Roumie served up this part of the Last Supper, you could feel Jesus' intent to not only prepare his followers for what is to come, but a certain excitement to speak plainly and not 'in figures of speech.' Pivoting away from this opening, eight-minute segment, we picked up where Season 4 left off, with Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. Roumie's expression whilst seated upon a donkey could only be described as beatific. As the crowds sang 'Hosanna to the Son of David!,' you had to feel chills. A beat later, though, when Jesus was overcome with a rare bout of anxiety — 'seeing' blood seeping through the walls of Jerusalem, clutching his chest — the chills were of a different kind. 'Father, save me from this hour,' he said, triggering a thunderclap that barely masked the words, 'I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.' Capping Roumie's moving performance, we witnessed a low-key Jesus, 'out for a walk,' happen upon and join in the revelry of a betrothal ceremony. Upon being identified, he deflected the attention, but graced the couple with his blessing. In a subsequent scene, Jesus wept (as they say) as he looked out over the plaza and 'saw' the fiery fate that would eventually befall Jerusalem. '[Your enemies] will not leave one stone upon another in you,' he lamented, 'because you did not know the time of your visitation.' Scroll down to see who got Honorable Mention shout-outs this week… Aras Aydin's Matteo wasn't the only Nine Perfect Strangers character to have an emotional breakthrough during Episode 6, but his was easily the most affecting, thanks to Aydin's soul-baring performance. When Matteo's therapy session with Masha took an unexpected turn, and he revealed he didn't want to stop grieving his late family members, Aydin communicated a palpable mix of heartache and hope while hardly raising his voice above a whisper. 'I'm a boy who was loved and lost this love. The thing that everyone fears most in their life, and it's happened to me. So yes, there is pain,' Matteo admitted, Aydin's eyes wide and tearful. 'But there is no fear of loss, because I've already lost. So I can have nothing to fear.' Aydin colored his character's words with such profound sincerity that we were as moved as Masha was by the time his monologue was over — and when she later called Matteo's therapy session 'perfect,' we couldn't have agreed more. — Rebecca Luther Leighton Meester had us wrapped around her finger from the moment she uttered 'Nice hat' with the perfect blend of swagger and wit in The Buccaneers Season 2 premiere. As Nelle, Meester went on to masterfully deliver plenty of other piercing lines, particularly during her character's confrontation with Patti. As Nelle read her sister for filth — 'Oh… you're fed up. Is that it? You're bored?' — Meester made sure the words were charged with plenty of subtext. She feigned compassion with a nod of the head during her sister's admission, before swatting away Patti's claims of newfound independence with a brush of the hand and a sneering accusation of boredom that hung between them with all the weight that Meester had so purposefully given it. All in all, in only a few scenes, the former Gossip Girl reminded us that she's still Queen Bee. — Claire Franken Poker Face has a grand tradition of bringing in familiar faces for juicy guest roles, and Alia Shawkat sunk her teeth into a good one this week as murderous grifter Kate. Setting her sights on that ultimate New York City prize — a cheap rent-controlled apartment — Kate wooed retired professor Anne to get her hands on the lease, with a smiling Shawkat laying down a barrage of phony love-bombing. But Kate needed to get Anne's granddaughter out of the way first, and Shawkat was downright frightening as Kate plotted to knock her off in secret. When Charlie got on the case, Kate even tried to woo her, too, and Shawkat nimbly toggled between seductress and killer before finally getting caught. Kate will go down as one of Charlie Cale's most formidable adversaries yet, though, thanks to Shawkat's deliciously sinister turn. — Dave Nemetz Which performance(s) knocked your socks off this week?

What's on: Supercars, MAGNT, Darwin Symphony Orchestra and more from June 21-22
WHAT'S ON THIS WEEKEND Buckle up, it's Supercars weekend! Tickets to the Darwin Triple Crown are still on sale, if you feel like a last-minute rev up. It's also a big weekend of Aboriginal arts, kicking off with the opening of the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards NATSIAA's this weekend at MAGNT! Always a favourite exhibition, 71 finalist works have been announced for this year's awards. But if your weekend is packed, do not despair – all of them will be exhibited at MAGNT until 26 January 2026! Between 10am and midday there are plenty of exhibitions to choose from while you grab your Mad About Coffee and Parap Markets laksa: check out the opening of Cassaria Hogan Young and Carol Young at Laundry Gallery in Parap at 10am, then head over to Warlukurlangu Artists – Rising Stars at Outstation Gallery, before checking out the artists talk with Gary Lee and friends for the Queer Territory exhibition at NCCA at 11am. If you're looking for some live music, Dan Sultan is performing with the Darwin Symphony Orchestra at the Darwin Entertainment Centre as part of Garrmalang Festival at 7.30pm tonight – tickets still on sale! On Sunday, head to the Green Ant Craft Fair at the Ski Club from 9am for handmade crafts, local food stalls and kids' entertainment. Then wind down with the Bloody Mary Book Club from 2.45pm at The Last Supper – bring along whatever you're reading or a favourite to share. SOMEWHERE YOU NEED TO EAT One of my favourite things about the Territory is that it usually is what it says it is on the box – unless, of course, you're going to Crab Claw Island – which you can drive to! To be fair, it is a tidal island, so do always check the tides – but there are worse places to be stuck for a few hours. I'd forgive you for thinking Crab Claw is one for the fishos, as it is in a prime spot for a flick. But it is only an hour and a half from Darwin city, so if you're looking for somewhere for a day trip, drive out there for lunch on their deck overlooking the ocean. You must try the tiger prawn salad … It's got mango, avocado, macadamia nuts and prawns, in a bowl made of toasted flatbread. If that doesn't scream tropical island lunch, I don't know what does. LOCAL'S TIP An early local's tip today: getting up with the sun is worth it. These cool mornings make you feel a little more alive, and so does paddling out onto the ocean at sunrise on a stand-up paddleboard. Did you know the Fun Supply team hire out paddle boards from Windsurfers Corner on Tuesday and Saturday mornings? The perfect weekend morning: Paddle over to De La Plage for a coffee, or just hang out on the ocean for a couple of hours between 6.30 and about 8.30am, and then get a Gracie's Toastie and eat it at the newly painted Windsurfers Corner benches. Bliss.

‘The Chosen' Season 5 Release Schedule—When Do New Episodes Drop On Prime?
The Chosen- The Last Supper Courtesy of The Chosen The first two episodes of The Chosen Season 5 are now streaming on Prime Video after debuting in theaters. If you're ready to watch the rest of the season, the rollout is a bit trickier than it is for other shows on the platform. Keep reading to see the full The Chosen: The Last Supper release schedule. Officially titled The Chosen: The Last Supper, the fifth season depicts the events of Holy Week – the period leading up to Jesus' crucifixion, during which the Sanhedrin and the High Priest plot to hand Him over to the Romans for execution. The season will highlight pivotal moments, including the Last Supper (Jesus' final meal with His disciples) and the Garden of Gethsemane, where He is betrayed and then arrested. 'The table is set. The people of Israel welcome Jesus as king while his disciples anticipate his crowning. But—instead of confronting Rome—he turns the tables on the Jewish religious festival,' the synopsis reads. 'Their power threatened, the country's religious and political leaders will go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus' last.' Jonathan Roumie reprises his role as Jesus Christ in Season 5 of The Chosen. He's joined by the full main cast from Season 4, including Shahar Isaac as Simon Peter, Elizabeth Tabish as Mary Magdalene, Paras Patel as Matthew, Noah James as Andrew, George H. Xanthis as John and Abe Bueno-Jallad as Big James. When I visited the set last July, Roumie shared his excitement about one of the season's most impactful moments: the scene in which Jesus enters the temple marketplace and flips over the tables of the buyers, sellers, and money changers. 'The marketplaces are just completely upended,' he said. 'It will be a wonderfully chaotic scene, and I can't wait for people to see it." Here's everything to know about watching The Chosen: The Last Supper, including the episode count, Prime Video release schedule and how to watch for free. The Chosen: The Last Supper Courtesy of The Chosen New episodes of The Chosen: The Last Supper will drop on Prime Video in three parts throughout the month of June.

Reza Diako: Philip filled with desperation, desire in 'Chosen' S5
1 of 2 | Reza Diako's "The Chosen" Season 5 is now streaming on Prime Video. Photo courtesy of HillTop Entertainment NEW YORK, June 15 (UPI) -- Reading Lolita in Tehran, The Persian Version and The Diplomat actor Reza Diako says his character Philip, Jesus Christ's apostle, is still grieving the loss of his friend, John the Baptist, and searching for a father figure in The Chosen Season 5, which began streaming on Prime Video Sunday. "Biblically, he is at the point where, in the text, he asks about, 'Where is the father?' It's a small phrase, but, for me, it sort of was the foundation of Philip's journey," Diako told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. "It's been almost like looking for a transcendent father figure constantly, but also wanting material representation of it in this world." Written and directed by Dallas Jenkins, the latest episodes of the hit, faith-based drama follows the events of Holy Week, leading up to the Last Supper, the eve of Jesus' crucifixion in Jerusalem more than 2,000 years ago. Leading the cast are Jonathan Roumie as Jesus and Luke Dimyan as his betrayer Judas, while Shahar Isaac, Paras Patel and Elizabeth Tabish play Peter, Matthew and Mary Magdalene, respectively. "What's interesting in the Last Supper is that we have these moments where we remember all the disciples are human," Diako said. "[Philip] cannot accept that he lost John and, now, he's going to be losing Jesus, as well," the actor added. "That desperation and desire was really lovely to be able to portray." Although Season 5 shows Jesus preparing his followers to continue preaching the word of their God after Jesus' execution, the mood on the production's set was respectful, but not somber, thanks to the closeness and good humor of the cast and crew. "It's really beautiful because I don't have brothers and, now, i suddenly have all these brothers and, also, multiple other sisters and aunts and uncles," Diako said. "It's so lovely to get to know them over time, outside of this historical piece," he said, noting breaks between takes might find the actors listening to music, playing video games, napping or challenging each other with trivia questions. "There's so much going on," he added. "I just love seeing the family and the humanity of it underneath. Everyone enjoys being together. It's a genuine connection." Season 6, which is in production now, will chronicle Jesus' public torture and murder at the hands of politicians who feel threatened by his popularity. Diako expects this cast and crew, who know each other so well, to continue to support each other as the story grows more intense. "I spent a lot of time with the disciples, so we know each other like brothers and it's cool because everyone knows how everyone else is, personally, so we get to laugh and get to have fun," he said "But then, also, when there are emotional moments, without even having to speak, there's like an unspoken understanding of how that person might need a moment to prepare or drop from something or decompress," Diako added. "Here, you can just literally be you and feel accepted like a family."
