Aside from that recent key art, we haven't had so much as an official still from AMC's Preacher adaptation, and yet the first trailer is imminent. You'll get to see the very first footage from the show on November 1st during a special 90-minute episode of The Walking Dead, as detailed in the press release below. AMC has also provided the first Preacher synopsis, and from the sounds of things it's sticking pretty close to Garth Ennis' source material... as far as the basic premise goes, at least.

AMC is bringing fans “The Walking Dead Mega Sunday” event on November 1st at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. During the all-new extended 90-minute episode of “The Walking Dead,” AMC will air the world premiere of the trailer for AMC’s upcoming, highly anticipated series “Preacher,” as well as the television premiere of the “Into the Badlands” trailer.

In this all-new episode of “The Walking Dead,” “Here’s Not Here,” written by Scott M. Gimple and directed by Stephen Williams, the survivors must ask themselves who can be trusted, and better yet, can they change? Critics continue to praise the series, including Verne Gay of Newsday, who calls it “exceptional.”

Based on the twisted and popular ‘90s comic book franchise of the same name, “Preacher,” created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, is the story of Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) a conflicted Preacher in a small Texas town who is inhabited by a mysterious entity that allows him to develop a highly unconventional power. Jesse, his ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Ruth Negga), and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) embark on a journey to, literally, find God. The Sony Pictures Television and AMC Studios co-production was developed for television by Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg (“This Is the End,” “Superbad,” “Neighbors”) and showrunner Sam Catlin (“Breaking Bad”). The series is set to premiere mid-2016.


Preacher stars Dominic Cooper as Jesse Custer, Joseph Gilgun as Cassidy, Ian Colletti as Eugene “Arseface” Root, W. Earl Brown as Arseface’s father, Elizabeth Perkins as Vyla Quinncannon, Ruth Negga as Tulip, and Jamie Anne Allman and Derek Wilson as Betsy and Donny Schenck. Will the Saint of Killers make an appearance? We'll have to wait and see.

@typicalfanboy
is this dc? then i hate it. if not, i'm sure it's fine.


It is DC, and it is a f ucking amazing read. I can't believe Preacher is going to be on TV. But I guess you'll be missing it since your a closed minded fanboy.

Old school Vertigo...it was a great time for comic book fans and people who love original work. By and large, DC left those creators alone to make stories that you just couldn't see anywhere else. Any one of those titles would work great on an AMC, HBO or Netflix.

I really hope they do this justice. Been a looooooong time fan of Preacher and just finished reading The Boys for the first time... If Preacher goes well they really need to make The Boys... Although I should think it'll need to be on HBO!
