God may pay for his crimes yet! AMC has officially ordered Preacher Season 4.
Production moves to Australia for season 4, per a TVLine report. The original comic series by Garth Enis remained set in the United States (and other various heavenly and hellish realms) for the duration of its run so it’s unlikely that Preacher will go the Leftovers Season 3 route and actually be set in Australia. It’s more likely that Australia has some nice tax credits and is versatile enough geographically to resemble parts of the United States.

Preacher Season 4 Release Date
Preacher Season 4 is now officially set to premiere on AMC on August 4!
…The bad news? Season 4 will mark the end for the series, as co-creator/executive-producer Seth Rogen reveals in this apocalyptic tweet.
Preacher Season 4 Cast
Preacher Season 4 will have more use for its kind-of Messiah than in years’ past. And that means an increase of role for one of the show’s weirdest characters. Tyson Ritter has been upped to series regular to Preacher Season 4, according to Deadline. Ritter (who is also the frontman for band The All-American Rejects) plays Humperdoo, the tragically inbred descendant of Jesus Christ.
Preacher Season 4 Trailer
Finally! Here it is in all its profane glory. The Preacher season 4 trailer has arrived following the show’s panel at SDCC 2019. Til the end of the world, friends.
Here are some first looks at Preacher Season 4 courtesy of AMC. The first is titled “Jesus” and you’ll see why in a minute.
Next up is “Nuke.” The name is similarly self-explanatory.

Preacher Season 4 Details
“Preacher is a show unlike any other on television. A passionate base of fans found their way to Jesse, Tulip and Cassidy and have followed along with their adventures, at times indescribable adventures, for three seasons,” David Madden, president of programming for AMC Networks, said in a statement. “We are thankful to our partners at Sony and to Seth, Evan and Sam 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.”
AMC clearly loves its comic book adaptations and has all but declared that its flagship property, The Walking Dead, will last forever. Until now, Preacher hadn’t been quite as lucky. Preacher Season 3’s finale, “The Light Above,” aired on August 26, 2018. It took until now for AMC to renew for Preacher Season 4.

Still, as AMC’s statement suggests, it must have been hard to not want to keep working with Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Sam Catlin, Dominic Cooper, Ruth Negga, and Joseph Gilgun.
When Preacher Season 4 arrives there are still plenty of foes for Jesse, Tulip, and Cassidy to confront. Angelville and the L’Angelles will be in the rearview but Herr Star and the Grail are still out there. As is The Saint of Killers, who is emboldened after killing Satan for funsies and his heading back to Earth to find Jesse with Eugene in tow.
