What’s This TV Show About?

A dark comedy series airing on the HBO cable channel, The Righteous Gemstones TV show was created by Danny McBride and stars McBride, Adam Devine, John Goodman, Edi Patterson, Cassidy Freeman, Tim Baltz, Tony Cavalero, Greg Alan Williams, Skyler Gisondo, Walton Goggins, Jennifer Nettles, James DuMont, Jody Hill, Troy Anthony Hogan, Valyn Hall, Kelton DuMont, and Gavin Munns. Recurring actors include Stephen Dorff, Shea Wigham, Lukas Haas, Robert Oberst, Stephen Schneider, Iliza Shlesinger, Sturgill Simpson, and Casey Wilson. The comedy centers on the Gemstones, a family of televangelists. Although patriarch Dr. Eli Gemstone (Goodman) built an empire out of his televangelism and megachurch ministries, he finds himself and his family at something of a crossroads. In the third season, when the spoiled Gemstone children finally get their wish to take control of the Church, they discover leadership is harder than they imagined.

 

Season Three Ratings

The third season of The Righteous Gemstones averaged a 0.06 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 240,000 viewers. Compared to season two, that’s down by 29% in the demo and down by 19% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.

Telly’s Take

Will HBO cancel or renew The Righteous Gemstones for season four? This show’s ratings have been middle-of-the-road, and I suspect that HBO likes to be in business with McBride and keep his satirical comedy style on the air. Unless McBride feels like there’s no more story to tell, I think there’s a good chance that Gemstones will be renewed. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
