TV show description:
This supernatural, twisted and darkly comedic drama is based on a comic book series published by DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint.
A former criminal, Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) is trying to fulfill a promise to his dead father. He’s returned to his hometown of Annville, Texas, to lead his father’s church as the town preacher. But when he’s inhabited by a mysterious entity, he develops a highly unusual power and is forced to wrestle with a new kind of mission.
A volatile, hell-raising force of nature, Tulip O’Hare (Ruth Negga) is Jesse’s gun-toting ex-girlfriend — and his one true love. She’s also a gifted criminal who’s not afraid to steal, cheat, and kill to get what she wants.
Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) is an Irish vagabond and a vampire. A glutton for every possible vice, he stumbles across the weird town of Annville and quickly becomes Jesse’s wild-ass best friend. Up for any kind of adventure, his hedonistic lifestyle and humanist views are constantly at odds with Jesse’s faith.
A young widow and single mother of three, Emily Woodrow (Lucy Griffiths) excels in the practicalities of life. She juggles several jobs while also upholding her church duties for Preacher Custer. However, simmering beneath the surface, there’s a whole lot of dark and debased desires.
Odin Quinncannon (Jackie Earle Haley) is the most powerful man in town and the chief employer. He owns a 125-year-old family-run cattle slaughterhouse business.
Quincannon’s brawny right-hand man is Donnie Schenck (Derek Wilson). When Jesse resurfaces and publicly undermines Donnie’s role as the town bully, Donnie becomes hell-bent on evening the score.
Nicknamed “Arseface”, teenager Eugene Root (Ian Colletti) has the heart of a saint and the face of a monster. Despised by most, he finds solace in Jesse’s sermons and is the new preacher’s biggest fan.
Eugene’s father is Sheriff Hugo Root (W. Earl Brown), Annville’s local lawman. A tough, conservative redneck who loves his deformed son, he is dubious of Eugene’s faith in Preacher Custer.
Meanwhile, mysterious government agents Deblanc (Anatol Yusef) and Fiore (Tom Brooke) are heading up a top-secret investigation that has led them right to the doorstep of Jesse Custer.

What do you think? Do you like the Preacher TV show? Do you think it should have ended or been renewed for a fifth season?
really enjoy this show
Preacher is the best show on TV. Hands down.
Preacher and American Gods are the most original Television to make it on the Small Screen. It needs a full run. It is Epic! Funny, offensive, and though provoking.
You’ve left me wanting hanging! “KILLER” show!! Keep it!!!
Love, love the Preacher tv series.
Preacher is one of the best original shows introduced on TV. After watching a handful of episodes I was “sure” that the Coen brothers were behind it. Kudos to Seth Rogen and all others who brought this show from the comic version to this extraordinary and extremely entertaining show. Although I believe that the dip in ratings was due to the combination of a) necessary graphic violence, however in many cases hysterical due specific situations (metaphors) which I won’t spoil for those who haven’t been watching the show (WHICH MUST BE WATCHED IN TOTAL WITHOUT MISSING A SINGLE EPISODE), and… Read more »
I enjoy the show.
Preacher is the best show on television on mondays. I never miss an episode.
Absolutely love the show. We have Preacher Night where friends come over to watch the episodes. Keep it going!
Great show bring the short angel back from hell those 2 with your entire cast are great.
RENEW IT PLEASE!!!! This on the behalf of my mum and I. Please, renew it ASAP.
KEEP IT ON! Tired of shows being canceled just because I don’t watch within a few days. They need to change how they rate shows. Add what’s the deal with 18-49? There’s just as many people younger than 18 and older than 49 that watch TV.
Looking forward to it returning!
We need the Preacher, this show must continue!
Love the show and hope it continues, The intelligent shows usually do not last more then one or two seasons , sorry to say only real dumb shows with laugh tracts seem to make it.
If it wasn’t on AMC it would not stand a chance. Thank DOG for AMC!
Please cancel this show. I think they paid people for the high ratings. That or the episode of Preacher I watched was edited 100% differently.
You have to watch 3 or 4 episodes to get what is going on. It is a very nihilistic World it is set in. Give it another chance.
