Preacher already renewed for Season 2
Honestly we never thought we'd see an adaptation of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's Preacher on any type of screen, least of all on a channel with some content restrictions like AMC. And yet the new series spearheaded by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg has turned out to be a bit of a triumph, and an ideal replacement for Game of Thrones.
The 5th episode has only just aired in the US with things starting to heat up for Jessie Custer - a small town preacher with an interesting past who becomes possessed with an unearthly power. It's a much slower opening act than in the original comics, but that's just because Ennis' book was basically insane.
