The Gemstones, your favorite corrupt televangelist family is back, from just over a month now. After the series premiered right before the pandemic, then taking almost three years off, we have a new season right around the corner on Sun. Jun. 18th.

As with anything where McBride is at the helm, you got to know that the stakes are going to be raised and raised really quick. From the looks of the first official trailer for season 3 of The Righteous Gemstones, Jesse Gemstone is about to get himself in a whole heap of trouble by racing a stock car (probably with almost no experience whatsoever) just to settle a dispute and there is a Steve Zahn-led-assault-rifle-toting Christian militia afoot.

Also, it’s intriguing to note that season 3 will be premiering on Max (formerly known as HBO Max), which we’re “sure” won’t lead to any more brand confusion between what counts as HBO or not.

Take a gander at what the Gemstones are getting into this time right here.
