Say your prayers, PREACHER fans, because Seth Rogen has announced that the upcoming fourth season of the AMC series will also be its last.
This afternoon PREACHER co-creator Seth Rogen posted a brief teaser video to his personal Twitter account, wherein amidst a technicolor nightmare of sight and sound, the footage announced "The end is now," for the DC/Vertigo-adapted series filled with sinners, vampires, and some of the most repugnant Southerners televisied fiction has ever seen. The end in nigh, my friends, and the apocalypse is scheduled to begin on August 4, when PREACHER Season 4 arrives for one last Hail Mary.
The show being laid to rest after its fourth outing might come as a shock to fans of the series, particularly after AMC Networks entertainment programming president David Madden spoke so highly of PREACHER when it was renewed last year. "We are thankful to our partners at Sony and to Seth, Evan [Goldberg] and Sam [Catlin] for everything they have brought to this series, which we are pleased to renew for a fourth season. Like the superfans of Preacher, we can’t wait to see where this journey leads next," said Madden in a statement. Be that as it may, I suppose that all good things must come to and end. And hey, it's better that the show go out on a high note, right? After all, no one wants to see a good program go to waste, or be dragged through the mud kicking and screaming to an uninspired conclusion.
AMC's PREACH stars Dominic Cooper as Jesse Custer, Ruth Negga as Tulip and Joe Gilgun as Cassidy the Vampire, with Pip Torrens as Herr Starr, Malcom Barrett as Hoover and Julie Anne Emery as Featherstone. Betty Buckley (Gran’ma), Colin Cunningham (T.C.), Jeremy Childs (Jody) and Jonny Coyne (Allfather D’Aronique) also play a part in the sinful antics of one of AMC's most off-the-wall adaptations.
PREACHER Season 4 will debut on August 4th on AMC.
