Get Your First Look at Season 3 of The Righteous Gemstones

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.

Righteous Gemstones Season 2 Gives a Better Look at How Ludicrous Season 2 Will Be

We’ve already gotten a taste of season 2 of The Righteous Gemstones with this delicious teaser, but, as of today, we get a full taste of what’s to come with the Gemstones’ conniving televangelist ways. Boy howdy, the Gemstones are not wasting any time at all in descending into more, very unchristian chaos (especially with the inclusion of Eric Andre as another Christianity profiteer).

Danny McBride, John Goodman, Edi Patterson, and Adam Devine seem to be in even more peak form for being a corrupt family from the looks of this trailer. Can’t wait to see how the pro wrestling match figures in this season’s arc.

Look for season 2 of The Righteous Gemstones on Jan. 9th on HBO/HBO Max.

Fall 2019 was not necessarily an innocent time, but definitely more innocent that where we have been and where we are now. That just happen to be the time when Danny McBride’s latest series The Righteous Gemstones dropped on HBO and it’s satirizing of televangelist empires was undeniable. A season 2 was pretty much unquestioned, but then COVID-19 did, you know, what it’s still doing.

In fact, that time was so long ago that we almost forgot that there was even going to be a second season the searing dramedy that is Danny’s biggest undertaking thus far. Thankfully, the world of faith for profit is more than ripe for picking apart especially with how much religious gatherings have thrown a wrench into COVID-19 protocols.

Thus, you ought to look forward to second season of The Righteous Gemstones on Jan. 9th on HBO and HBO Max. From the looks of the trailer, they’re going bigger than in season 1. DeVine has his literal own christian army, McBride tries to hug someone through a plastic tarp on TV because of COVID, and Eric Andre is going to be tangling with the Gemstones. See all the wondrous madness for yourself here.

Looks like Danny McBride, John Goodman, Adam Devine, and Edi Patterson are going to serve up something, if we may, so damn “righteous” in this televangelist family satire, The Righteous Gemstones. Every bit we see of this looks like the perfect follow-up for McBride after Vice Principals and, thankfully, the premiere isn’t too far from now on Aug. 18th on HBO.

In the meantime, please enjoy the full trailer for The Righteous Gemstones here.

Fans of Eastbound & Down, Vice Principals, and anything Danny McBride may rejoice as McBride is returning to HBO with his televangelist satire The Righteous Gemstones.

Set for its series premiere on Aug. 18th, it sure looks like McBride is back in full, lovable scoundrel form along with a perfectly cast John Goodman and Adam Devine. Together, they’re playing a scandalous televangelist family and you’ll probably want to set a reminder to watch when it debuts.

HBO Orders Televangelist Comedy ‘The Righteous Gemstones’ From Danny McBride to Series

HBO Orders Televangelist Comedy ‘The Righteous Gemstones’ From Danny McBride to Series

Amateur baseball. High school administration. And now, televised ministry.

If you can imagine it, it’s three points in an ever expanding Danny McBride-HBO universe (including Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals) that paints an always entertaining, but razor sharp satirical portrait of America.

Danny McBride’s latest project The Righteous Gemstones just got a series order at the premium cable network and will feature him squaring off against John Goodman within a family of a televangelists. Of course, they wheel and deal in greed as much as they do with “the good book”. 

We’ll be looking forward to when this premieres, we’re guessing sometime later next year.

Now, we can’t help but wonder if there ever will be any crossing over between McBride’s shows (even if it’s only some one-off sketch released online).

A “Roseanne” Revival Is Being Shopped Around Right Now

A “Roseanne” Revival Is Being Shopped Around Right Now

The original cast of Roseanne Barr, John Goodman, and Sara Gilbert are on board for bringing back Roseanne. This revival is indeed being shopped around various networks and it wouldn’t be at all surprising if it found a home pretty fast.

While we can really feel this reboot/revival fatigue setting in, especially with TV these days, a sitcom of the 21st century Roseanne (you know, the one that keeps running for President) and an even more hardboiled, Coen Brothers-esque John Goodman is something we’d be up for. 

Such a thing might be unlikely, but you can’t really tell what reboots/revivals will bring these days (i.e. the Archie-based TV series Riverdale hardly resembles your dad’s Archie comics).
