Fans of The Chosen have been eagerly awaiting the beloved series’ next season, especially after Season 5 left viewers with an unforgettable cliffhanger. Although the writers, directors and actors are not the first to bring the story of Jesus and His disciples to life, they continue to find fresh, moving ways to tell it, keeping us emotionally invested and on the edge of our seats.

As Season 5 came to a close, audiences were left wondering how the series would approach the next chapter: the crucifixion.

With Jonathan Roumie delivering such a powerful portrayal of Jesus, many viewers may find it difficult to watch those heartbreaking final moments unfold on screen. But bringing that emotional weight to life is precisely why director Dallas Jenkins has remained so committed to authenticity throughout the making of The Chosen.

'The Chosen' Season 6 Preview: Dallas Jenkins Shares Emotional First Look

If you count yourself as one of the 280 million fans of The Chosen TV series, then you already know the heart behind it starts with creator and director Dallas Jenkins, who works overtime as the passionate storyteller who’s made it his mission to bring the life of Jesus to the screen in a deeply […]

To capture the crucifixion with the gravity it deserves, Jenkins brought the cast to Matera, Italy, a historic city that has served as the backdrop for other iconic biblical films, including Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ. Its ancient streets and stone architecture made it a fitting setting for one of the most pivotal moments in the series.

The experience proved deeply moving, especially for Jenkins himself. “As the director, my job is to keep everyone stable, and even I was struggling,” Jenkins admits.

“I had my first emotional breakdown on set that I’ve ever had, where I had to get away, cry, pray and recover in some way. I think that portends what this content will be. I do think that the sacrifices we were making are going to be worth it. I still know for a fact that filming in Italy was by far the best thing we could have done.”

Dallas Jenkins reflects on faith and the show’s global impact

Bringing this story to life has also challenged Jenkins to lean on his faith in ways he never expected. “Sometimes I trust myself more than I trust God, and that’s something that I’ve required to change about myself. That’s the only way I’ve been able to absorb a project that has gotten bigger than I’m capable of producing,” says Jenkins. ‘Okay, God, I can only do what I’m capable of. I can only work with the five loaves and two fish. You’re going to have to multiply it. And God has.”

With more than 300 million viewers and translations into 75 languages, The Chosen has made a remarkable impact on the world over the last seven years. Season 6, which begins streaming its six-episode season on Prime Video on November 15, will culminate in a global theatrical film, The Chosen Crucifixion, on March 12, 2027.

Here, Woman’s World went behind the scenes on the set of The Chosen to get Season 6 secrets and insights on set from beloved cast members — from the spiritual impact to moments of redemption, hope and the emotional journey to the cross.

'The Chosen' Season 7 Filming Begins—Here's What Fans Can Expect

Fans of The Chosen have spent years watching Dallas Jenkins, Jonathan Roumie and the cast bring the Bible-based show to life, and it all leads up to the seventh and final season. The historical drama has taken the world by storm and helped many people — Christians and non-Christians alike — come to understand the Bible […]

Jonathan Roumie opens up about spiritual warfare on set

The emotional and thought-provoking nature of Season 6 has required sacrifice from the cast and crew — especially for Jonathan Roumie, who portrays Jesus. Each season has brought him closer to Jesus in his own spiritual journey.

“Because of things I’ve experienced after filming that I just can’t quite explain — frustration, health issues, fatigue, self-doubt — I’m a firm observer of spiritual warfare in the many facets in my own life,” Roumie shares. “To me, this is generally a sign that what we’re doing is so spiritually potent and has the potential to do so much good in the world. I don’t quite understand how to handle all of this. But I have to trust, and I have to continue to pray and stay closer to Jesus through this whole process.”

Shahar Isaac says trusting the story was key to playing Peter

Filming Season 6 meant embracing the uncertainty of each moment and allowing the story to unfold naturally.

 “It was always day by day allowing the story to surprise me. The writers know where they’re going with it. So I just had to trust and let it happen,” says Shahar Isaac, who plays Peter. “I tried not to manipulate it in any certain way. It’s a pretty clear map that we just got to follow.”

That willingness to trust the process mirrors Peter’s own journey, reminding viewers that sometimes the next step becomes clear when we stop trying to figure out the entire path ahead.

Paras Patel on Matthew’s message of self-acceptance

For Paras Patel, playing Matthew has been a journey of personal growth and a way to help others feel seen and understood. His portrayal of the character, whom many viewers interpret as being on the autism spectrum, has also fostered meaningful connections with people around the world who see aspects of themselves reflected in his character.

“I don’t think anyone should see themselves as different, just perfectly unique,” Patel says. “I encourage people to be who they are and live their lives to the fullest. I like to say, ‘Be a Matthew.’ Matthew is someone who’s always trying to be a better version of himself, and he does that through learning and growing. We can all be a Matthew.”

Elizabeth Tabish on Mary Magdalene’s journey to trust

As the story moves toward its heartbreaking turning point, Mary Magdalene is searching for answers. But one scene filmed in Matera helped Elizabeth Tabish see how far her character has come in learning to trust Jesus, even in uncertain times.

“There have been so many moments where Mary Magdalene has been met with Jesus’ love and compassion, and there is a scene in this season where she realizes He is still bringing peace,” says Tabish. “That’s a quiet type of faith that I really admire in her character.”

To Tabish, Mary’s story shows that faith isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about holding on to peace when life is hardest.

Inside the emotional challenge of filming the crucifixion scene

Filming the crucifixion presented a unique set of technical and logistical challenges for the crew. “The crucifixion was actually one scene that I didn’t want to do because the way we actually crucified Jesus is a little different. He was actually raised on the cross. So we had machines raising [Roumie] on the cross, but had to make it look like people were raising him. I was up all hours designing this,” says production and set designer, James Cunningham.

The weight of the moment was impossible to separate from the journey that had brought the team there. “Dallas and I cried quite a few times on set because we filmed the pilot on a little farm in Illinois, and then all of a sudden we were standing in Matera, Italy, filming the crucifixion of Jesus,” Cunningham says. “It was very difficult, but it was very rewarding at the same time.”

Season 6 of The Chosen will begin streaming its six-episode season on Prime Video on November 15, and will end in a season finale global theatrical film, The Chosen Crucifixion, on March 12, 2027.

Nashville got a whole lot louder when Red Bull Jukebox rolled into Music City for a night of unforgettable performances and unexpected collaborations! Cassidy Daniels took the stage alongside John Osborne of Brothers Osborne, Kameron Marlowe brought the house down with his powerhouse performance, and Max McNown closed out the show with special appearances by Tom Higgenson of the Plain White T’s and the beloved Carly Pearce. It was a night to remember in Music City!

Before the show, Woman’s World caught up with Cassidy to talk about how her music career has evolved since appearing on Taylor Sheridan’s The Road, what it was like working with the acclaimed creator, her cameo on Dutton Ranch and what’s coming next for the rising country star.

What it’s really like working in the Taylor Sheridan universe

For Cassidy, one of the biggest surprises about stepping into Taylor Sheridan’s world has been the people behind the scenes. And as she explains, the experience has been nothing short of wonderful.

“The number one thing that is completely different about being in — we call it, “the Taylor-verse” — is that everyone there is genuinely so happy to be there and so kind. You can tell that they’re paid well, they’re taken care of, and honestly, that’s so refreshing to see in the industry because you know sometimes it’s hard out here for for talent and they really take care of their people out there,” Cassidy dishes about the Taylor Sheridan set.

Despite her success on The Road, Cassidy still never imagined where the show would take her next. “I can’t say enough good things about them. I never could have imagined anything happening from The Road itself, other than being on the show and getting that great opportunity to hang out with such amazing country superstars like Keith Urban, Gretchen Wilson, and Blake Shelton, the mentorship was really awesome,” she says. “But never in a million years could I imagine it would land me on so many different shows in the Taylor-verse. It’s been a pleasure!”

Cassidy Daniels dishes on meeting Taylor Sheridan for the first time

Of course, getting to work in the Taylor-verse also means getting to know the man behind some of television’s biggest hits. Cassidy recalled one first impression that she’ll never forget.

“One of my favorite Taylor Sheridan moments was probably the first time I met him,” she shares. “I was playing in Fort Worth, Texas, at Tannahill Saloon, and he’s kind of a really intimidating dude. He was standing with his arms crossed and he’s super intimidating with his Luccheses and his floor-length peacoat.

“And as soon as I started singing, he just went from like super intimidating to just having the biggest, warmest smile, and he truly does seem to have a soft spot for little old me. So I really love seeing that every time I’m around him.”

From her debut album to another Taylor Sheridan show — What’s next for Cassidy Daniels?

While her time in the Taylor-verse has opened some exciting doors, Cassidy has also been making big moves in her own music career. “This year, I released my debut album, which was a huge, huge, huge deal. I feel like I’ve waited my whole life to make my debut album, and now it’s here, and it’s like I stuck my flag in the sand and said this is who I am,” Cassidy Daniels says of her new album, ‘What Have I Got To Lose’ that released in September.

“I’m also going to be making an appearance on Marshalls, which will be coming out in December. So for any more fans of Taylor Sheridan, you might see my big old red head up on there singing!”

Red Bull Jukebox certainly knows how to shake things up in Nashville, bringing together some of country music’s most exciting voices for a night full of surprises, collaborations and incredible performances. And whether she’s lighting up the screen in the Taylor-verse or making waves in country music on her own, we’ll always be cheering Cassidy on. Something tells us this is only the beginning!

Wrestling fans have something big to look forward to next month! John Cena made a special appearance on Monday Night RAW live on Netflix last night, and Woman’s World was there to get all the exciting details. Trading his designer suits for his familiar T-shirt and baseball cap, the 17-time WWE champion returned to the ring in Brooklyn, New York, to share some major news about the highly anticipated John Cena Classic.

He revealed when and where the competition will take place (hint: It’s the most magical place on Earth!), unveiled a brand-new championship and announced the first Superstar invited to compete.

Here’s everything we learned!

John Cena Opens Up About His Marriage to Shay Shariatzadeh: ‘We Go Everywhere Together’

What did John Cena announce on ‘Monday Night RAW’?

Cena received a hero’s ovation as he stepped into the ring, and he wasted no time getting to the big news.

“If you have a big announcement, you bring yourself to New York City,” he told the crowd before sharing three major details about the John Cena Classic, which he first introduced at WWE Backlash in May.

First, the inaugural competition will take place on Monday, December 14, at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

Next, Cena unveiled the brand-new John Cena Classic Championship. The design is a nostalgic nod to his wrestling legacy, taking inspiration from his famous spinner WWE Championship belt.

For Cena, however, the event represents much more than a new title. “I have my heart and soul in this event. My name is on this event. It encapsulates everything I stand for. Perseverance, hustle, loyalty and respect,” he told the crowd.

Who is competing for the ‘John Cena Classic’ championship?

Then came the announcement fans were waiting for: Cody Rhodes is the first Superstar invited to participate!

Rhodes joined Cena in the ring, where the two shared a special moment. Cena reflected on his initial doubts about whether Rhodes could handle the responsibility of being WWE’s top guy, admitting that the champion had more than proved himself.

“You are carrying it better than Cena could,” he told Rhodes before making his invitation official.

But there’s more talent to come. Cena plans to visit NXT, Monday Night RAW, Friday Night SmackDown and Survivor Series as he scouts performers for the competition.

In a recent conversation with Woman’s World to promote her role in Dairy Queen’s Miracle Treat Day, the figure skater revealed what really happened on and off the ice at this year’s games. She also revealed what sport […]

What is the ‘John Cena Classic’?

The John Cena Classic is a special WWE competition that will bring together established Superstars from the main roster and rising talent from NXT. When Cena first introduced the concept at WWE Backlash on May 9, he explained that he wanted to create an opportunity for up-and-coming performers to share the spotlight with some of the company’s biggest names.

Think of it as WWE’s version of an All-Star Game! In a previous interview with Sports Illustrated, Cena used that description to explain his vision for the event: a showcase of talent rather than a traditional championship tournament.

There’s also an interactive element that gives fans a chance to get in on the action. Members of WWE’s Club WWE subscription service will have the opportunity to vote on certain tournament participants, with fan input also playing a role in determining the ultimate champion.

That means a Superstar’s popularity and connection with the WWE Universe could be just as important as what happens inside the ring.

When will the ‘John Cena Classic’ take place?

Mark your calendars! The inaugural John Cena Classic is scheduled for Monday, December 14, 2026, at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. And there’s an added treat for fans: December 14 will feature two episodes of Monday Night RAW! One will air from Perth, Australia, while a second special edition will take place later that night in Florida as part of the John Cena Classic—both airing live on Netflix.

One thing is certain: Although Cena has stepped away from in-ring competition, he’s finding a new way to make his mark on WWE. And this time, he’s giving the next generation of Superstars a chance to shine—with the WWE Universe helping decide who makes history!

Since the conclusion of All Creatures Great and Small Season 6, fans have been anxiously anticipating the return of the beloved Skeldale House crew. With the seventh season set to premiere on MASTERPIECE PBS on January 17, 2027, fans can at least find comfort that the next installment is within reach. If you’ve already rewatched the latest seasons ahead of All Creatures Great and Small Season 7, you may be curious about another take on James Herriot’s early years: the BBC’s Young James Herriot. Set during Herriot’s time at Glasgow Veterinary College, the 2011 series offers a heartwarming origin story for the beloved veterinarian. Though it’s a separate adaptation—not a direct prequel to the modern series—it draws from the same real-life inspiration: James Alfred Wight’s books, written under the pen name James Herriot. Here’s what to know about the often-overlooked series and the original books that inspired it all.

'All Creatures Great and Small' Renewed for 2 More Seasons—Details!

Life can be intense, so it can be nice every once in a while to wind down with a cozy film or television series that simply puts you at ease. Sure, we love high-stakes drama and intricate storylines, but sometimes, there’s nothing better than escaping, and All Creatures Great and Small is the perfect distraction. […]

‘Young James Herriot’ is a 2011 BBC prequel series about James Herriot’s veterinary-school years

While All Creatures Great and Small tells James Herriot’s story from the start of his tenure at Skeldale House, Young James Herriot takes viewers back even further, to Herriot’s days studying at Scotland’s Glasgow Veterinary College. As James cultivates his skills caring for animals, he forms bonds with new friends, navigates prickly professors and comes into his own as a veterinarian. In Young James Herriot, the title character is brought to life by Iain De Caestecker, and his performance in the show lines up with the early version of James we got to know in All Creatures, now played by Nicholas Ralph. 

While the All Creatures Great and Small book series and modern TV series chronicle James’ time as a vet post-college, Young James Herriot tapped into the past thanks to creator Johnny Byrne. Byrne actually worked on the original version of All Creatures Great and Small, which aired between 1978 and 1990. 

“Johnny was a great writer and he knew Alf and his family really well,” shared consultant producer Kate Croft with the BBC back in 2011. “Through his friendship with Alf he also came to know this wonderful story of how Alf became a vet. This was an amazing story and when he first told me—this was about 10 years ago—I knew it had to be a TV series. I had loved all of the Herriot books and I just ate up the original series.”

Young James Herriot is unfortunately unavailable to stream, but if you need something to hold you over while you wait for All Creatures Great and Small, now is the time to dive into the books that inspired the series. 

‘All Creatures Great and Small’ books to read while you wait for Season 7!

All Creatures Great and Small was inspired by the books by James Alfred “Alf” Wight, who wrote under the name of James Herriot. His beloved tales of his time caring for animals in the Yorkshire Dales are heartwarming, humorous and have been adapted into the TV series folks have loved for years. His books include:

• All Creatures Great and Small
• All Things Bright and Beautiful
• All Things Wise and Wonderful
• The Lord God Made Them All
• and Every Living Thing.

As co-host of NBC’s Today with Jenna & Sheinelle, Jenna Bush Hager’s mornings are full, and now, she’s taking on primetime as an executive producer of Line of Fire—a family drama and suspense thriller starring Peter Krause, Hope Davis and Charlie Barnett set to premiere on September 21, 2026 on NBC.

Here, during an NBC backlot event, Bush Hager gets candid about how her White House roots help inform this series about a dysfunctional family of federal law-enforcement officers who get pulled into a deadly conspiracy.

Plus, the New York Times bestselling author and founder of Read with Jenna reveals how playdates with her twin sister, Barbara Pierce Bush, led to her to this collaboration with Gossip Girl and Quantico alum turned Line of Fire creator, Joshua Safran.

On bringing White House experience to ‘Line of Fire’

Having been part of the Today family since 2009, Jenna Bush Hager hopes her morning show viewers will follow her to primetime to watch her new show, Line of Fire.

“We’ve seen Carson Daly do it with The Voice,” Jenna says. “We know it works.”

That said, Line of Fire’s executive producer maintains the real draw of her new series isn’t her day job: It’s the drama she’s helping showrunner Joshua Safran create onscreen.

The action centers on the Hollingsworths, a family that works across several branches of federal law enforcement, including the Secret Service, U.S. Marshals, FBI and Department of Justice. As their professional worlds collide and they become the target of a mysterious assassin, the series explores the balance between honoring sworn oaths to protect others and fulfilling their responsibility to each other.

“This is about family, and I knew these people—I had secret servicemen who would leave their family to protect mine,” says Hagar, whose father and grandfather served as President of the United States. “The dynamics of that are very much part of the DNA of what Josh has written, which I think is brilliant.”

Sometimes the most meaningful connections in our lives are ones we never see coming.

From kiddie parties to primetime collaboration

With family at the heart of the drama, Hager reveals she first teamed up with Safran over the screams and laughter of children at play.

“He lived across the street from my sister and their kids had playdates,” she sets up. “So I hung out with him at my sister’s kids’ second birthday, and we talked about this dynamic of this family of people that are putting other people first in many circumstances and therefore, what happens in their own family is complicated. 

“And I thought, ‘That’s something that I witnessed!’” she adds with a laugh.

Grounding the ‘Line of Fire’ in her White House experience

Due to her deep respect for those who’ve protected her and her family, Hager was determined to find a thread of realism in this world of make-believe.

 “One of the things that we did was bring on a former Secret Service man that I admire and adore as a consultant to work with Josh and the writers so that there’s real authenticity to it,” she says. “Because we’ve all seen the shows about our industries, where we’re like, ‘Wait…’

“I mean, I love The Morning Show… but they would never have a party in the studio because of the union laws, you know?” she cracks. “Of course, Josh was like, ‘Listen, some of it has to be made for TV.’ But we’ll also have some real truth to it, and that was important to all of us.”

‘Line of Fire’ has ‘This is Us’ energy

With a heroic yet messy family at its center, Hagar maintains Line of Fire fills a hole left by the drama This Is Us, not to mention Krause’s early Emmy-winning HBO hit.

“Before Pete was even cast, when somebody asked me about the show, I said it reminded me of Six Feet Under—not in all the ways, but in the way that it really is about a family and how their business affects their dynamics,” she explains.

“And it can be very funny,” she adds of the high-stakes drama. “These characters have this fast‑talking, almost like a dance that I don’t feel like we’ve seen on network TV in a while. I’m just so proud to be part of it.”

Line of Fire stars Hope Davis and Parenthood and 911 alum Peter Krause as U.S. Marshal Jane Hollingsworth and Agent Mike Hollingsworth, as well as Kat Cunning, Tommy O’Brien and Taylor Bloom as their adult children—an FBI agent, a Secret Service agent and a Department of Justice employee. Chicago Fire alum Charlie Barnett is also part of the cast.

 In the Line premieres Monday, September 21, 2026, at 10 p.m. ET/PT (10/9c) on NBC, with replay available on Peacock the next day.

‘Pride and Prejudice’

Pride and Prejudice first won hearts as the classic novel written by Jane Austen in 1813 and again in the form of the 1940 film, the 1995 miniseries and the 2005 film. Now, the beloved story is making its way to Netflix in the upcoming book-to-screen adaptation of the same name. The six-part series follows Emma Corrin as Elizabeth Bennet as she and her four sisters deal with the pressure to marry well in 19th-century England. Then enters Mr. Darcy (Jack Lowden), a wealthy, prickly man with whom she has a mutual disdain before they delve into a romance.

“Once in a generation, a group of people get to retell this wonderful story and I feel very lucky that I get to be a part of it,” screenwriter Dolly Alderton told Netflix. “Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is the blueprint for romantic comedy — it has been a joy to delve back into its pages to find both familiar and fresh ways of bringing this beloved book to life.”

Alongside Corrin and Lowden, the series also stars Olivia Colman as Mrs. Bennet, Rufus Sewell as Mr. Bennet, Freya Mavor as Jane Bennet, Rhea Norwood as Lydia Bennet, Hopey Parish as Mary Bennet and Hollie Avery as Kitty Bennet.

Although there is not yet a specific release date, Pride and Prejudice is set to premiere sometime in fall 2026, so keep an eye out for the adaptation.

‘East of Eden’

On October 1, fans of the 1952 published novel will have a chance to see the story unravel on the screen in the Netflix limited series. The story follows the struggle between good and evil, told through the stories of two families: the Trasks and the Hamiltons.

“It needs to be epic and intimate,” writer Zoe Kazan explained. “It needs to be as personal for me as it was for him [author John Steinbeck], even though he’s literally writing about his family.”

The series will star Florence Pugh as Cathy Ames, the woman who weds Adam Trask (Christopher Abbott) and becomes the mother of their twin sons. However, it isn’t long before Cathy’s manipulative and destructive nature is revealed. Meanwhile, Samuel (Ciarán Hinds) and Liza Hamilton (Anita Hegh) are raising their hardworking family nearby, contrasting the lives of the Trask family.

The upcoming adaptation of East of Eden will be available to watch only on Netflix on October 1, 2026.

‘Guarding Stars’

Enjoy this romantic holiday film this fall, based on the book The Bodyguard by Katherine Center. Guarding Stars follows the no-nonsense bodyguard, Hannah Brooks (Leighton Meester), who is hired to protect the charming action star, Jack Stapleton (Jared Padalecki), over the holiday season. What begins as a simple assignment soon turns into the unraveling of secrets and flying of sparks between Hannah and Jack.

“It’s been amazing to work closely with Katherine so far and to see her so excited about moving her witty story about a no-nonsense bodyguard [for] an A-list actor into the holiday season,” director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum shared. “It makes the most gorgeous backdrop for the sparks that fly between them to be even brighter.”

This adaptation was renamed Guarding Stars to avoid confusion with the already existing 1992 film The Bodyguard with Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner. You can catch Leighton Meester and Jared Padalecki in Guarding Stars on November 18, 2026, only on Netflix.

The stars of Crew Girl—Miku Martineau, Kyle Clark and Sam Braun—all use very different words to describe their upcoming series on Netflix, with passion, drama and abs being just a few of the descriptors they offered to give fans a taste of what to expect from the sports drama.

Crew Girl follows competitive high school rower Teagan Tao (Miku Martineau), who is forced to relocate to the East Coast after a family scandal. But when she discovers there’s no girls’ rowing team at her new school, Teagan joins the boys’ team as their new coxswain, the person in charge of a boat’s navigation and crew coordination. 

But nothing is as easy as it seems for her, especially once she gets caught between two of the team’s stars: the quiet townie Cam Dillinger (Kyle Clark) and the star rower, Josh Regis (Sam Braun). Especially as they have to deal with their familial drama.

Everything to Know About 'Crew Girl'

Move over Prime Video because Netflix is about to make its mark with their upcoming teen sports drama, Crew Girl. In the age of book adaptations, young adult romances and sports being everywhere, it’s the perfect time to get invested in all of these series and Crew Girl is about to be your new obsession. Find out […]

Woman’s World: Describe Crew Girl in 3 words to give our readers a taste of what they can expect.

Miku Martineau: Drama, abs, rowing.

Kyle Clark: I would say rivalry.

Miku Martineau: Ooh. Yeah.

Kyle Clark: Passion. Chemistry.

Sam Braun: Right on. Are there any words left?

Miku Martineau: Let me pull up the dictionary. 

Sam Braun: Charming. We’ve got handsome and stud muffins.

Miku Martineau: Yes, stud. 

Kyle Clark: That’s the best word I think. 

WW: Crew Girl has an enemies-to-lovers and a friends-to-lovers storyline—which trope is your favorite to watch or read about?

Miku Martineau: Ooh, outside of my personal life, I do love enemies to lovers. My personal life, no, I don’t want an enemy.

Kyle Clark: I like friends and lovers.

Miku Martineau: That’s on brand.

Kyle Clark: It is on brand. Yeah, which makes you [points to Sam] enemies to lovers, right?

Sam Braun: For sure, for sure.

WW: You’re all talented rowers on-screen, but which of you would actually make the best rower in real life?

Miku Martineau: Honestly, these guys are so great. I was so impressed by you guys during the rowing training. They took it so seriously. We had such great coaches, and they killed it on the boat and it was so amazing to see. I didn’t know anything about rowing going into it, so learning all of the technicalities of it and how precise it is and how much coordination and teamwork it takes, I was just blown away by you guys. So I think they could be rowers in real life.

Kyle Clark: I think Sam could. Sam rips. 

Sam Braun: That’s so sweet because when Kyle and I were rowing pairs, he started off in front [of the boat], and then as soon as we swapped and I went in front, I tipped the boat like six times, and we kept falling into the water. So I don’t know. 

Kyle Clark: You really like long-distance running and your form’s good—you’d be a good one. There’s some good rowers [on the show]. We learned how to row in, like four weeks, so we didn’t have a ton of time, but everyone wanted to do a good job and do their best, so people were really locked in.

WW: Which of you would actually make the best coxswain?

Miku Martineau: I would hope [me], but in the show, Teagan has been a competitive single sculling rower. Becoming a cox, it’s still in the world of rowing, but she knew nothing about it. She’s also learning how to become a coxswain, how to become a team player, how to lead a boat and how to do calls because you’re also switched on positions. They would also kill it.

Sam Braun: Miku is so good though because it really takes a special person to gather eight boys in a boat and kind of control them, and I was so impressed with your presence in the boat and on set, too. Miku was such a great person to have around.

Woman’s World: What is one piece of advice you’d give to your character if you could?

Miku Martineau: It’s okay to make mistakes, and I would give that advice to any young person.

Kyle Clark: Trust the process and where you’re at. You don’t have to have it all together right now.

Sam Braun: [I’d tell Josh to] take the pressure off his shoulders a little bit and just take a breath. It’s okay.

Kyle Clark: Yeah, they’re figuring it out.

America’s Tailgate airs on TV tonight but it was filmed last night beneath Nashville’s twinkling Broadway lights—and Woman’s World caught up with some of the star performers before they took the stage. 

Grammy winner Kristian Bush, one half of the multi-platinum country duo Sugarland, shared exciting news about the band’s upcoming tour. “We hit the road in October and November of this year,” he told Woman’s World. “It’s the ‘Ride or Die’ tour which is fun because we’re celebrating the second record we put out called ‘Enjoy the Ride’—you’d know it by songs like ‘Want To’ or ‘Stay.’ That record changed our lives so we’re going to play a lot of tracks off it.” 

We also caught up with country singer Gabby Barrett, who first captured hearts as a finalist on American Idol in 2018 before releasing her multi-platinum debut single “I Hope.” Recently, Barrett has been candid with fans on social media about the beautiful challenge of balancing motherhood and music.

“I just try to do the best that I can day in and day out and take it one day at a time,” she told us. “I feel like I’m in a very creative season right now with music, too. I’m living the coolest life just doing both—I’m grateful.” Gabby’s latest single “Every Minute of It” is out now.

Want to see Bush and Barrett perform together? You’re in luck! They team up for a very special musical tribute for tonight’s TV special!

Tune into America’s Tailgate at 8 p.m. ET on CBS tonight to watch all the fun.

After The Gentlemen made its Netflix debut, it didn’t take long for viewers to be swept up into the unexpected journey of Eddie Horniman. Portrayed by Theo James, the story begins with Eddie learning that his late father’s estate has been passed down to him—earning him the reluctant title of Duke of Halstead. However, it’s what lies beneath the property that changes the trajectory of his life, for Eddie comes to learn that his father allowed for the operation of a massive underground cannabis empire. Before long, Eddie finds himself enmeshed in the criminal enterprise run by drug lord Bobby Glass and his daughter, Susie Glass, played by Kaya Scodelario. With Season 2 having just hit screens, there’s much on the horizon for this crew as they embark on their next chapter, and with the series already renewed for Season 3, there’s talks of a certain someone with royal ties joining the cast. Here, an update on what’s to come.

Everything to Know About 'Crew Girl'

‘The Gentlemen’ Season 2 hits Netflix with big underground drama

On September 3, the second season of The Gentlemen debuted on Netflix, and fans are already chattering about the events that unfolded. In the second season, a year has passed since Eddie first came to be involved in this criminal underworld, and now, it’s safe to say he’s found his footing alongside Susie. 

“By Season 2, he is a man very much at the helm of it, and he’s bought into the possibilities of what both worlds can bring him, both as an aristocrat and a criminal,” said Theo James of his character in conversation with Tudum. “That ignites a fiery ambition in him, and it also starts to move the ego. It gives him the ability to make decisions based on this idea of wanting more.”

As the duo work together to expand their operations, establishing themselves in Italy amongst a rather intimidating crew of crime bosses, Eddie is also grappling with the flawed moves orchestrated by Bobby from behind bars—and his desire to distance himself from him only grows stronger. Though Season 2 has only just hit the streamer (watch it here!), it’s the show’s third season that’s garnered a lot of attention for the rumors surrounding its casting. Over the last several weeks, stories began circulating that claimed Meghan Markle was in talks to play a role in the third season—and Theo James had a hilarious response. 

Will Meghan Markle join ‘The Gentlemen’ Season 3 cast?

In 2018, Meghan Markle married Prince Harry, making her the Duchess of Sussex. However, prior to her royal title, Markle had a successful acting career, one of her most notable roles being in the legal drama Suits. Meghan hasn’t acted since then, but Deadline initially broke the news that she was being eyed for a role.

In response to the rumors, Theo James shared a witty response when asked by Town & Country about a former royal joining the cast for Season 3. “Yes, Fergie is joining. She’ll be playing my love interest,” the actor joked, referring to Sarah Ferguson. He continued, “No, I think that was mainly a lot of hot air. At the moment, we’re just trying to get as many eyes on Season 2, and then Season 3 will happen soon. But in terms of story, we have the overarching ambition of where we’re going to go. We’re going to expand the world, go to different countries. But in terms of the minutiae, I mean, it’s still very much up in the air.”

Meghan Markle’s participation in the series might be speculation at the moment, but fans are still excited about the possibility. In the meantime, tune in to Season 2 of The Gentlemen on Netflix now.
