AMC’s new series Preacher will kick off the network’s summer TV lineup in May, shortly after the Fear the Walking Dead midseason finale. According to Entertainment Weekly , the show is a dark comedy based on a popular 90s comic series about a preacher named Jesse Custer with supernatural powers. Custer uses his powers to literally search for God in a small Texas town. Those attending SXSW this year were able to see the pilot episode before the premiere.

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 - 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, and an Irish vampire named Cassidy embark on a journey to, literally, find God.
AMC ordered 10 episodes of its latest comic book adaptation, which premieres on AMC Sunday, May 22 at 10 p.m. Fear the Walking Dead Season 2 will be released on April 11.
