Seth Rogen Stars In Preacher Parody Video

Preacher executive producer Seth Rogen is best known for his work in comedy, and he'll be damned if that's going to change just becuase he co-wrote and co-directed one of the most anticipated drama pilots of 2016.

The episode, which premieres on May 22, will likely be the subject of a lot of heated debate. An adaptation of the beloved Vertigo series from writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon, Preacher takes a lot of liberties with the source material, but still manages to churn out a pilot that's received mostly positive reviews from mainstream critics.

So with things looking good for the series, Rogen apparently decided it was alright to have a little fun with the dark, serious tone of the show's promotion.

Based on the twisted and popular '90s comic book franchise of the same name, Preacher, created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, is the story of Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) a conflicted Preacher in a small Texas town who is inhabited by a mysterious entity that allows him to develop a highly unconventional power. Jesse, his ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Ruth Negga), and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) embark on a journey to, literally, find God. The Sony Pictures Television and AMC Studios co-production was developed for television by Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg (This Is the End,Superbad, Neighbors) and showrunner Sam Catlin (Breaking Bad).

After years in development hell, AMC's Preacher premieres Sunday, May 22 at 10 PM ET on AMC.

Rogen will not actually star. Really, we promise.
