Thank heaven, AMC<\/a> has released a whole new batch of cast pictures from their upcoming Preacher<\/em><\/strong> TV series (via SlashFilm<\/a>), based on the Vertigo comics by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon.<\/p>\n

These shots give us a good look at Dominic Cooper as Jesse Custer, Ruth Negga as Tulip O’Hare, Joseph Gilgun as Cassidy, W Earl Brown as Sheriff Hugo Root, Ian Colletti as Arseface,\u00a0Derek Wilson as Donnie Schenck,\u00a0Anatol Yusef as DeBlanc,\u00a0Tom Brooke as Fiore, and Lucy Griffiths as Emily, who is a new character created by the show’s writers.<\/p>\n

Those writers are, of course, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who also directed the pilot, and Breaking Bad<\/em><\/strong> veteran Sam Catlin will be the showrunner. We absolutely can’t wait.<\/p>\n

“Preacher<\/em><\/strong> is a supernatural, twisted and darkly comedic drama that follows a West Texas preacher named Jesse Custer, who is inhabited by a mysterious entity that causes him to develop a highly unusual power. Jesse, his badass ex-girlfriend Tulip and an Irish vagabond named Cassidy come together and when they do, they are thrust into a crazy world populated by a cast of characters from Heaven, Hell and everywhere in between.”<\/p>\n

Preacher<\/em> will air on AMC from 22 May 2016, with a UK air date to follow. For more news about the biggest TV series, pick up the latest issue of SciFiNow.<\/strong>
