'Preacher' Looks Ready To Get On With A Third Season

AMC's irreverent action-comedy Preacher is already gearing up for a third season.

While there hasn't been any official announcement just yet, rumor has it that AMC is already making arrangements to continue filming several more episodes of Preacher in its current location, New Orleans (via CBR).

Preacher debuted with a six-episode season in 2016. That season served as a kind of prequel to the original comic books, taking place in Jesse Custer's hometown of Annville.

The show is currently nearing the end of its 13-episode second season on AMC, which involves the road trip that kicked off the Vertigo Comics series.

Based on the popular cult comic book franchise of the same name, Preacher is an absurdly twisted and action-packed thrill ride. When Jesse Custer, a small-town preacher with a criminal past, realizes God is absent from Heaven, Jesse sets out to find Him. Along for the ride are Tulip, Jesse's volatile true love, and Cassidy, a 119-year-old Irish vampire and Jesse's best mate. The gang ends up in New Orleans, where they must dodge local gangsters, dangerous secret agents in white suits, and the Saint of Killers, an unstoppable killer cowboy from Hell.

Preacher airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.
