Glory, glory, and praise the Lord, Preacher Season 2 is coming in 2017.
PreacherSeason 2 was confirmed by AMC back in June, long before we got to the season finale. Preacherhas been one of the strangest little shows on TV, and it's far from a straight adaptation of the comic book source material. Even if you're a fan of the books, the show is taking a different route to its big story, so there's plenty to keep you guessing. A second season should only continue that.
Oh, and they'll have more episodes to do it with. PreacherSeason 2 will feature 13 episodes instead of 10.

“Preacheris a special television program and we’re eager to share with fans the rest of this wild first season and, now, an expanded second season,” said Charlie Collier, president of AMC, SundanceTV and AMC Studios in a statement. “What Sam, Seth, Evan and the entire creative team have achieved in bringing Garth Ennis’ graphic novel to the screen is extraordinary. We look forward to more time with these unforgettable characters be it in Heaven, Hell, Texas or beyond.”
Deadline has word that the show has just added six new actors to the cast to play new characters since, y'know, not many survived season one.
Noah Taylor (Game of Thrones, Deep Water), Pip Torrens (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Crown) and Julie Ann Emery (Fargo, Better Call Saul) have signed on as series regulars, and Malcolm Barrett (War on Everyone, Dear White People), Ronald Guttman (Homeland, Mozart in the Jungle) and Justin Prentice (13 Reasons Why, Malibu Country)
Now, there aren't any character details available at the moment, but, Pip Torrens...
...kinda looks like he'd be a good fit for Herr Starr, doesn't he?
They're in production now, and we know (thanks to Seth Rogen) the first episode is called, appropriately, "On The Road."
And check out a perhaps more gruesome look at the early days of production. This, too, is "on the road." Literally.
Place your bets on whose intestines those are.
Preacher Season 2 Premiere Date
No premiere date has been announced yet, but expect it to air roughly at the same point on the calendar it did this year in 2017. AMC needs to fill those supernatural gaps between The Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead.
