Jamie Anne Allman, Derek Wilson Join AMC’s ‘Preacher’

Briefly: Following the long-rumoured addition of Dominic Cooper just a few weeks back, the cast of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldber’s Preacher adaptation has grown yet again.

This time, The Killing‘s Jamie Anne Allmand and Rectify‘s Derek Wilson have boarded the project in recurring roles.

Allman will portray Betsy Schenck, “a meek wife who appears to suffer beatings by the hand of her husband, Donny. When the Preacher checks up on her, though, she tells a different story.” Wilson will play her husband Donny Schenck, “a Civil War re-enactor and abusive thug who gets into altercations with Jesse Custer (the Preacher) but nevertheless shows up to church on Sundays.”

Preacher was one of the first comic book series that I read through in its entirety, and as such, I’m more than looking forward to the adaptation. Allmand and Wilson join Elizabeth Perkins as Vyla Quinncannon, Dominic Cooper as Jesse Custer, Ruth Negga as Tulip O’hare, Lucy Griffiths as a new character named Emily Woodrow, Joseph Gilgun as Cassidy and Ian Colette as Arseface.
