Preacher Season 3 Comic-Con trailer promises more mayhem, violence & bees!

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

AMC's PREACHER may already be four episodes in to its third season of madness and riotous portrayal of religious figures, but that's not going to stop a new promo from spreading the good word at this year's San Diego Comic Con. For those of you who are familiar with the lore of PREACHER – created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon and published in 1995 courtesy of DC's Vertigo imprint – you'll be stoked to know that the latest promo for the show features more of the repugnant Allfather as well as the 350-year-old vampire Eccarius. Oh, and is that Hitler slinging dishes in a diner? What the hell is going on here? Of course, no PREACHER spot is complete without some witty back and forth between Tulip (Ruth Negga) and Jesse (Dominic Cooper), so there's a little bit of that, too.

At the SDCC panel for PREACHER, executive producer Seth Rogen was asked about the vile nature of the Allfather, the Grand Poobah of a nefarious organization known as The Grail. Rogen responded by detailing a scene for the crowd, signaling just how far the show is willing to go to make fans of the original comic book series happy.

"He has a little wand to stick down his throat to make him throw up sometimes," he said, courtesy of CBR. "There’s a scene where they eat a horse. It was one of our favorite characters from the comics and is truly just a bizarre character and we hope to make good on that promise."

PREACHER Season 3 will continue to air on AMC this Sunday, July 22nd, with an episode titled "The Coffin." As someone who has read the entire series, I can promise you that things are only going to get more outrageous (and more offensive) from here on out. Buckle up, say your prayers, and don't miss this gem of a mature comic book TV adaptation.
