Developed by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Sam Catlin for AMC, the show is based on a popular comic book franchise. The series stars Dominic Cooper as a West Texas preacher who becomes the vessel for Genesis, an unholy entity born from an angel and a devil. Following a supernatural event at his church, the preacher embarks on a mission to locate God and force him to account for abandoning the world. He is accompanied on this journey by his love interest, a gun-toting Texan named Tulip, and his best friend, an alcoholic Irish vampire named Cassidy. Throughout their quest, the trio encounters angels, demons, cowboys, and a secret religious sect. The narrative explores a world inhabited by holy and hellish forces as the protagonist attempts to set the world straight with its creator.
