Can I get an Amen? After a two-year delay caused by the pandemic, HBO is resurrecting The Righteous Gemstones. It’s the story of a world-famous televangelist family with a long tradition of deviance, greed, and charitable work, and will start its nine-episode second season with two back-to-back shows on Sunday, Jan. 9 from 10 PM-11:25 PM ET/PT.
The premiere will be followed by additional half-hour episodes on subsequent Sundays at the same time. The series debuts on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.
The series was created, written and executive produced by Danny McBride (HBO’s Vice Principals and Eastbound & Down), marking his third HBO comedy series from Rough House Pictures. McBride collaborators Jody Hill and David Gordon Green also serve as executive producers and directors.
Season two finds the Gemstone family threatened by outsiders from the past and present who wish to destroy their empire.
