AMC has released a new 20-second teaser today for Preacher, the anticipated series based on Vertigo’s graphic novel by writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon. It’s a very mysterious trailer that touches on the mysterious nature of Genesis, the entity that inhabits West Texas preacher Jesse Custer. We also get another good look at Eugene, aka Arseface, and a lot of destruction and chaos.
“Preacher” is a supernatural, twisted and darkly comedic drama that follows a West Texas preacher named Jesse Custer, who is inhabited by a mysterious entity that causes him to develop a highly unusual power. Jesse, his badass ex-girlfriend Tulip and an Irish vagabond named Cassidy come together and when they do, they are thrust into a crazy world populated by a cast of characters from Heaven, Hell and everywhere in between. The series stars Dominic Cooper as Jesse Custer, Joseph Gilgun as Cassidy, Ruth Negga as Tulip, Lucy Griffiths as Emily, W. Earl Brown as Sherriff Root, Anatol Yusef as DeBlanc, Tom Brooke as Fiore, Derek Wilson as Donnie Schenck and Ian Colletti as Eugene/Arseface.
