The prayers of Preacher fans have been answered. Today, AMC announced they’ve renewed the series for a second season.
Based on the comic by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, the comic-drama follows Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), a small-town Texas preacher who becomes possessed by a mysterious and powerful force. The cast also includes Ruth Negga, Lucy Griffiths, W. Earl Brown, and Joseph Gilgun.
Only five episodes into its first season, Preacher hasn’t been receiving the highest ratings. So far, the series has earned an average of .66 in the 18-49 demo and 1.755 million viewers.
From AMC President Charlie Collier:
‘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 [Catlin], Seth [Rogen], Evan [Goldberg] 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.”
What do you think? Are you watching Preacher? Are you glad the series has been renewed?
Hilarious. Did not start off strong but it definitely pulls you in. Absolutely looking forward to Season 2!!
yes thus show is fantastic keep it on
Great show! The season 1 ending was amazing. Main characters are fascinating and well developed. Cassidy is hilarious, loved his Justin Bieber comment during the last show climax. Can’t wait for season2!
Love the show can’t wait until season 2 begins!
This is a funny, bizarre and outrageous show! Love it! Very glad it was renewed!
Craziest show in tv history. And that’s a good thing. Haters keep hating. It brings in viewers. Thanks in advance. 😉
I wish comics readers would quit whining, endlessly, when a tv show doesn’t follow the exact comic storylines.
There are 2 types of people:
1= those that read , and
2= Those that watch
I love Preacher the way it is,…& am not a comics reader/wanna keep it that way.
I am a comic reader. I am usually a purist, it’s hard for me to accept the adaptation being too different from the source material (looking at you, The Shining. You’d be better as Stanley Kubrick’s Big Hotel of F*ckery) but Preacher works. I am so damn stoked for the finale.
So glad to hear Preacher will continue. This is the only series I have really enjoyed in a while. Love the character of Jessie
Could not have picked a better guy for the part. The rest of the crew is perfect as well.
I will continue to watch for all episodes
I wish I was as enthusiastic about the series up to this point as some other folks. The casting and tone are perfect, but the decision to keep Jesse, Tulip and Cassidy in town and not follow the plot of the Ennis series, to avoid any unwanted press due to the comic’s controversial story arc no doubt, has left the show directionless. Seven episodes in and it doesn’t feel like its progressed beyond the pilot. Hopefully this will change, but if it doesn’t before the end of the first season, I doubt I’ll be tuning in for season 2.
Looks like we’re alone bro lol. I won’t be returning either!
My husband and I love this show. Very entertaining and creative and getting bettter with each episode! So glad they are doing a second season. It takes a while for a show to catch on. There are a lot of shows on air and takes word of mouth to find out about it. Heck, I didn’t know about breaking bad until it’s second season and that was because a radio show mentioned it.
I love this show!!!!!!
I really love this show. It is awesome.
Great show. Glad it’s being renewed for a second season! Makes me confident enough to keep the DVR going for season 1!
Love this show. Very happy to get another season!
I couldn’t be happier !! This show is BRILLIANT !! I am looking forward to the rest of Season One even more now that I know there is a Season Two !!
