Preacher centers on Reverend Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), a conflicted Texas minister who merges with a spiritual force called Genesis. In doping so he is granted the powers and voice of God. He is joined by his girlfriend Tulip (Ruth Negga) and the Irish vampire Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun). Lucy Griffiths (Emily Woodrow) and Ian Colletti (Arseface) also star in the project.

Preacher was one of the first comics series I completely read when I came back into comics back in 2005 so I’m really looking forward to seeing it come to life. My favorite casting in the show is Joseph Gilgun, I enjoyed his run on Misfits and I can tell he’s is going to embody that Cassidy persona like no one else could.
