The Righteous Gemstones has been renewed for a third season, HBO announced today.
The irreverent comedy series tells the story of a world-famous televangelist family with a long tradition of deviance, greed and charitable work.
Season two sees the blessed Gemstone family threatened by outsiders from both the past and present who wish to destroy their empire.
“After a season of literal fire and brimstone, blood, sand, and rollerblading, who wouldn’t come back for more?” said Amy Gravitt, executive vice president of HBO Programming, in a statement on the renewal. “The Gemstone family makes us laugh like nobody else.”
The nine episode second season kicked off on Jan. 9 on HBO and HBO Max. The season finale will air on Feb. 27, 2022.
Season 2 two cast includes Danny McBride, Adam Devine, Edi Patterson, John Goodman, Cassidy Freeman, Tony Cavalero, Tim Baltz, Skyler Gisondo, Greg Alan Williams, Walton Goggins, Jennifer Nettles, Jody Hill, Valyn Hall, Kelton DuMont, Gavin Munn, Jason Schwartzman, Eric Roberts, Eric Andre and Jessica Lowe.
The series is created, written and executive produced by Danny McBride (HBO’s Vice Principals and Eastbound & Down), and marking his third HBO comedy series from Rough House Pictures.
Jody Hill and David Gordon Green also serve as executive producers and directors.
