The thirteen episode second season of Preacher, an adaptation of the amazing Garth Ennis comic book, begins airing on AMC in June, and a little over two months out from the premiere a trailer for the season has been released. That trailer can be seen below and is packed with fun, action, and bizarre images, all accompanied by "Come On Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners.
Developed for television by Sam Catlin, Evan Goldberg, and Seth Rogen, Preacher follows
a West Texas preacher named Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), who is inhabited by the renegade spawn of an angel and demon and gains the power to control people with just a word. The series’ second season premieres this summer and follows Jesse, his badass ex-girlfriend Tulip (Ruth Negga) and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) as they embark on a road trip to find God, dealing with issues both worldly and otherworldly along the way.
I skipped the first season of Preacher because it sounded like the show strayed too far from the source material, but I have to admit that this trailer for the second season makes it look like a hell of a good time.
Preacher returns to AMC airwaves on June 25th. The "Come On Eileen" single was released on June 25, 1982.
