AMC’s ‘Preacher’ Now Has A Premiere Date!

Briefly: Those of you lucky enough to be attending SXSW festival may have had an opportunity to see the Preacher premiere earlier this week, but the rest of us now now just when we’ll be able to see the pilot episode of the anticipated series.

AMC has just announced that Preacher will premiere on Sunday, May 22nd at 10PM, following the mid-season final of Fear the Walking Dead. New episodes will then follow beginning on Sunday, June 5th!

Based on the twisted and popular ‘90s comic book franchise of the same name, “Preacher,” created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, is the story of Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) a conflicted Preacher in a small Texas town who is inhabited by a mysterious entity that allows him to develop a highly unconventional power. Jesse, his ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Ruth Negga), and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) embark on a journey to, literally, find God. The Sony Pictures Television and AMC Studios co-production was developed for television by Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg (“This Is the End,” “Superbad,” “Neighbors”) and showrunner Sam Catlin (“Breaking Bad”). The series is set to premiere mid-2016.

I thought that the trailer looked pretty spot-on, and I simply can’t wait to see what AMC has done with the property. Are you looking forward to the premiere? Be sure to let us know what you think!
