AMC has announced that production is officially underway on the third season of Preacher, and the network has also revealed who will be bringing life to three of the most heinous characters from the comic.

Fans of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's source material should be all too familiar with Jesse Custer's evil grandmother and her hired hands Jody and TC, and they'll be a big part of season 3's story. They'll be joined by a character named Christina, who is not part of this particular arc in the comics.

The only Christina we can think of from the comics is actually Jesse's mother, but given the age of the actress playing her that seems highly unlikley.

Below, you'll find out which actors have been cast in these key roles, as well as a little more about each character.

Tony winner Betty Buckley (Supergirl, Split) joins the cast as a series regular playing “Gran’ma,” a spiritist with true powers, who can cast spells and even bring back the dead (for a price). Pay the fee or pay with your soul to feed Gran’ma’s thirst for eternal youth. She is weathered, tough, and mean, but also intelligent beyond measure. She’s Jesse’s only living family and she loves him.

Colin Cunningham (Falling Skies) plays “TC,” a man born of the bayou and the loyal caretaker and soldier for Gran’ma. Weaselly and wiry, he’ll gladly tell you about his perversions whether you ask him or not. While he seems like the friendliest guy you’ll ever meet, don’t make the mistake of turning your back on him.

Jeremy Childs (The Last Castle, Nashville) is “Jody.” Massive and intimidating, Jody is the enforcer for Gran’ma and the only man Jesse’s never beaten in a fight. He’s nobody’s fool, and not someone to cross.

Liz McGeever (Star, Nashville) will play “Christina.” Capable and efficient, Christina has a face that lures customers in for her family business. Christina hides it well, but she hates her job and has dreams and aspirations outside of her current life – but suffers to protect her child.

I’ve only seen the first episode of season 1. I loved it, but I never kept up with it. Is it worth catching up before season 3?

@ArkhamClown - yes. However there are a few files eps you could live without and if your a fab of the traveling aspect of the comic they don't go very far. I wouldn't call season 2 great but very good.

Season 2 wasn't as good as 1 for me, but I still enjoyed it. Hope season 3 is good. It'll be nice to dive into the L'Angell clan.

Season 2 got really uninteresting halfway through. Overall Herr Starr was the best thing about it. Didn't care for the other characters AT ALL.

Hopefully bringing back Jesse's family does something. My guess is they cast this actress to play Jesse's mom in flashbacks and may age her.

Colin Cunningham was great in Falling Skies, he played the best character, he was really badass, can't wait for season 3
