Sunday television is bringing biblical drama, Gilded Age power struggles and another mystery for Colter Shaw to unravel. Prime Video welcomes back The Chosen for its sixth season, HBO continues The Gilded Age, and CBS has new episodes of Marshals and Tracker. Between the betrayals, investigations and people determined to make terrible decisions, Sunday is giving viewers plenty to discuss before Monday arrives.
Netflix is also getting in on the action with Cunk on Cinema, a new comedy series that takes an extremely questionable approach to film history. Hallmark has another Christmas romance, MGM+ wraps up Treasure Island, and HBO closes out the season of Last Week Tonight With John Oliver. Football fans aren't being forgotten either, with the Steelers and Bengals facing off in a major AFC North showdown.
Streaming | Prime Video | Season 6 Premiere — Three Episodes
The Chosen returns for Season 6, bringing its story closer to one of the most significant events in Christian history. The new season focuses on Jesus' final day, exploring the people who stood beside him, those who turned against him and the political and religious tensions surrounding his arrest and crucifixion.
What makes this chapter particularly compelling is the opportunity to explore the events through multiple perspectives. The disciples are facing circumstances they cannot fully comprehend, while religious and Roman authorities have their own motivations for what unfolds. Viewers familiar with the biblical account already know where the story is heading, but the emotional journey remains central to the series.
Prime Video is releasing the first three episodes today, with the remaining installments arriving weekly. It's an ambitious chapter for a series that has built its following around making familiar biblical figures feel like complicated, recognizable people. With the stakes higher than ever, The Chosen earns our TV Cave Top Pick.
Top Pick — Season 6 Premiere, 3 Episodes
All times Eastern. Streaming releases are available on demand. NFL regional coverage varies by market, and CBS programming may be delayed by football overruns. PBS schedules may vary by station.
HBO's The Gilded Age continues its fourth season, and the battle for influence among New York's wealthiest families remains as complicated as ever. Bertha Russell has spent years fighting for acceptance in elite society, but gaining power doesn't necessarily make keeping it any easier.
Between the social maneuvering, family tensions and the constant pressure to maintain appearances, these characters could probably use a vacation that doesn't involve impressing anyone.
Tonight's episode brings another high-profile social occasion into the picture, with a presidential dinner providing the perfect setting for more maneuvering. Of course, when the stakes involve reputation and status, even a seemingly polite gathering can become a battlefield. The gowns may be gorgeous, but the people wearing them are rarely interested in playing nice.
CBS begins its scripted evening with Marshals at 8 PM. The latest episode, “Roughstock,” continues the dangerous work facing the team's law enforcement officers, where even a seemingly straightforward assignment can turn into something considerably more complicated.
At 9 PM, Tracker returns with “Blind Spot,” putting Colter Shaw back in the middle of another mystery. Colter has built a career out of finding people and uncovering answers, but his investigations have a habit of exposing problems that go far beyond the original assignment. Cupertino follows at 10 PM with “Celeste,” rounding out CBS's Sunday scripted lineup.
Netflix premieres Cunk on Cinema, with Diane Morgan returning as Philomena Cunk, the hilariously uninformed documentary presenter who somehow manages to ask experts questions nobody else would dream of asking. This time, she's turning her attention to cinema, examining everything from the earliest filmmaking experiments to the rise of computer-generated imagery.
The six-episode comedy comes from Charlie Brooker and promises another helping of Cunk's gloriously misguided observations. Watching serious experts attempt to answer her questions without losing their composure is half the entertainment, and the history of movies gives her an enormous amount of material to misunderstand.
For anyone who enjoys dry British humor and documentary satire, this could be one of Sunday's funniest releases.
Tamera Mowry-Housley and Kristoffer Polaha star in Mistletoe and Mimosas, the latest addition to Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas lineup. Mowry-Housley plays Claire, a Manhattan business consultant who inherits her late uncle's Christmas-themed bar, The Tipsy Reindeer, only to discover that the beloved establishment is drowning in debt.
Her biggest competition comes from Zach, played by Polaha, who manages a successful neighboring club and has his eye on acquiring the property. The two agree to a holiday-themed business competition, and naturally, their rivalry starts turning into something neither of them expected. Nothing says romance quite like trying to put each other out of business while surrounded by Christmas decorations.
Great American Family also premieres Christmas at Moose Lake, starring Britt Robertson and Ryan Paevey, while Lifetime offers In Another Life, a romantic drama about two strangers who meet while their spouses are hospitalized.
MGM+ brings Treasure Island to its conclusion tonight, closing out…
