The much-anticipated adaptation of the cult comic book Preacher finally premieres this weekend. We’ve had a series of imagery, clips, and trailers for the supernatural thriller over the past few weeks, and now AMC have put the first four minutes of episode one online. Check it out below:
The show stars Captain America‘s Dominic Cooper as a smalltown preacher who is possessed by a supernatural creature and controlled by opposing forces of both good and evil. It was developed by Seth Rogen and his regular filmmaking partner Evan Goldberg, and co-stars Ruth Negga and Joseph Gilgun.
It has also been reported that Amazon has signed the rights to show Preacher in several countries outside the US. According to THR, Amazon Prime Video will stream the show weekly in the UK, Austria, Germany, and Japan.
AMC has announced that a live discussion show called Talking Preacher will be broadcast after both the pilot episode and the season finale in July. The Talking Dead proved to be a highly popular weekly post-episode analysis for the channel’s zombie smash The Walking Dead, and if Preacher is a success, season 2 could see Talking Preacher take a regular slot.
Preacher was created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, and first published in 1995 by the DC imprint Vertigo to huge acclaim. It ran for a total of 75 issues, including several one-off specials and a limited series.
