AMC’s new series Preacher will premier this March at SXSW, followed by the TV premiere this May. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg will be directing the series, which is based on the adaption of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s fantastic graphic novel by the same name.
For those who are not familiar with the comics, let me explain. Preacher follows Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), a preacher from a small Texas town, who was pushed into his profession by his effing insane family. Jesse, after being possessed by Genesis, an entity that is half angel and half demon, sets out to find God. He is accompanied by his ex girlfriend Tulip O’Hare (Ruth Negga) and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun). The angels, desperate to have Genesis back in his cage, send “The Killer of Saints” to find him. If the series is anything like the graphic novels, it will be dark, twisted and controversial.
