This week's
Preacher delivered one of the most explosive and exciting episodes of the season. While viewership declined halfway through the show's run it seems people are back and hungry for more Preacher. The finale,
Call and Response, received 1.722 million viewers, with 765,000 among 18-49 demographic.
That's higher than last week's episode, and while not big numbers, they're pretty good for AMC because while the network has a plethora of originals, most of them decline and barely score a million (and more) viewers, so judging by that, Preacher is most definitely a big success. For those unaware,
Preacher has been renewed for a second season premiering in 2017.
Fulfilling a promise to his deceased father, one-time outlaw Jesse Custer returns home to West Texas to take over his dad's church. Jesse's mission, however, becomes twisted when his body is overcome by a cryptic force that unleashes within him a highly unconventional power. Together with hell-raising ex-girlfriend Tulip and Irish vagabond Cassidy, the preacher-in-training embarks on a journey to find God in a world inhabited by holy, hellish, and everything-in-between characters. The darkly comedic "Preacher" is based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's popular 1990s comic book franchise of the same name. Executive producers include Sam Catlin ("Breaking Bad"), and Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg ("Superbad," "Neighbors").
