Amazon has today announced that the third series of the critically-acclaimed supernatural show, Preacher, will return to Prime Video in the UK this June, with the first episode launching on Monday 25th June and new episodes following weekly. Three first-look images have been released ahead of the new series’ return, which you can check out below.
Based on the popular cult comic book franchise, Preacher tells the absurdly twisted tale of Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), a small-town preacher inhabited by an angel-demon spawn that gives him the power to make people do his bidding, Tulip (Ruth Negga), his volatile true love, and Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun), a 119-year-old Irish vampire.
In series two, after Jesse accidentally discovered that God is absent from Heaven, the three of them set out on a road trip to find Him, all while being hunted by the Saint of Killers (Graham McTavish), an unstoppable, mythical killer from Hell. The trio’s pursuit led them to New Orleans, where they dodged local gangsters, dangerous agents, and other unimaginable mayhem on their way to uncovering an even bigger secret. Now, with Tulip’s life and Cassidy’s friendship in the balance, Jesse must rely on a mysterious figure from his past in order to save his friends and continue on with his mission.
The new series, consisting of 10 episodes, is inspired by the second volume of the comic book franchise, Until the End of the World.
The Sony Pictures Television and AMC Studios co-production was developed for television by Seth Rogen (Bad Neighbours, 22 Jump Street), Evan Goldberg (Sausage Party, Neighbours 2, Superbad) and showrunner Sam Catlin (Breaking Bad). The series is executive produced by Catlin, as well as Rogen, Goldberg and James Weaver for Point Grey Pictures, Neal H. Moritz and Ori Marmur for Original Film and Vivian Cannon, Jason Netter, Michael Slovis, Mark McNair and Ken F. Levin.
Preacher series three stars Dominic Cooper (Mamma Mia), Academy Award® nominee Ruth Negga (Loving), Joseph Gilgun (Lockout), Ian Coletti (Baby Mama), Graham McTavish (Outlander), Noah Taylor (Peaky Blinders, Game of Thrones), Pip Torrens (Star Wars: The Force Awakens), Julie Ann Emery (Better Call Saul, Fargo), Malcolm Barrett (Dear White People), Justin Prentice (13 Reasons Why, Awkward), Ronald Guttman (Mozart in the Jungle, Mad Men) and new comers Betty Buckley (Supergirl), Jeremy Childs (Nashville), Colin Cunningham (Falling Skies) and Liz McGeever (Homeland).
