AMC Renews ‘Preacher’ For An Expanded Second Season!

Briefly: Well that didn’t take long.

After releasing just five episodes, AMC has renewed Preacher for an expanded second season.

While the series, which is the #2 new series on cable this year, will run just ten episodes during its debut season, next year we’ll be watching 13.

“‘Preacher’ is a special television program and we’re eager to share with fans the rest of this wild first season and, now, an expanded second season,” said Charlie Collier, president of AMC, SundanceTV and AMC Studios. “What Sam, Seth, Evan and the entire creative team have achieved in bringing Garth Ennis’ graphic novel to the screen is extraordinary. We look forward to more time with these unforgettable characters be it in Heaven, Hell, Texas or beyond.”

The series stars Dominic Cooper as Jesse Custer, Joseph Gilgun as Cassidy, Ruth Negga as Tulip, Lucy Griffiths as Emily, W. Earl Brown as Sheriff Root, Anatol Yusef as DeBlanc, Tom Brooke as Fiore, Derek Wilson as Donnie Schenck and Ian Colletti as Eugene/Arseface.

I’ve only had an opportunity to watch the pilot thus far (which I certainly enjoyed). Those of you who have been following Preacher weekly, are you excited that a second season is happening? Sound out below!
