We’re just about halfway through the first season of AMC’s Preacher; the small-screen adaptation of Gath Ennis and Steve Dillon’s cult comic-book, brought to life by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Sam Catlin; and AMC have just announced they will be renewing the show for a second season.
For those how haven’t seen the show, or read the comics, it follows a preacher with a dark past (Dominic Cooper, Captain America: The First Avenger) who’s suddenly bestowed with a powerful force, and also features his trouble-making girlfriend Tulip (Ruth Negga, Warcraft: The Beginning), and his best-friend Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun, The Last Witch Hunter) who just happens to be a vampire.
AMC President Charlie Collier says “Preacher is a special television program and we’re eager to share with fans the rest of this wild first season and, now, an expanded second season… What Sam, Seth, Evan and the entire creative team have achieved in bringing Garth Ennis’ graphic novel to the screen is extraordinary. We look forward to more time with these unforgettable characters be it in Heaven, Hell, Texas or beyond.”
Season two will also have more episodes than the first season’s ten episode run, comprising of a further 13 episodes, but before we see them the first season is still airing Sunday evening on AMC in the US, and landing on Amazon Prime every Monday in the UK.
