Jonathan Roumie: Season 7 of The Chosen Feels Completely Different

Updated Jun 30, 2026

Jonathan Roumie says filming Season 7 of The Chosen feels dramatically different after the emotional weight of Season 6, which centers on Jesus' crucifixion. In this interview with Crosswalk Talk’s Michael Foust at the K-LOVE Fan Awards, Roumie discusses the new atmosphere on set, the one thing he hopes every viewer remembers, why he believes The Chosen has connected with millions beyond the church, and his prayer that the series will continue bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world. Season 6 focuses on the crucifixion, while Season 7 shifts to the resurrection, which Roumie says has brought a renewed sense of joy to the cast and crew.
