Overview
Preacher is an American supernatural adventure television series that aired from 2016 to 2019. 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. The program is available for streaming on various platforms and features a cast that also includes Joe Gilgun, Ruth Negga, and Ian Colletti.
