AMC has announced that filming on the third season of its comic book adaptation Preacher, with the show also adding four new additions to the cast in Betty Buckley (Split), Colin Cunningham (Falling Skies), Jeremy Childs (Nashville) and Liz McGeever (Homeland).
Per AMC, here are the official character descriptions for the new additions:
Betty Buckley joins the cast as “Gran’ma” – A spiritist with true powers, who can cast spells and even bring back the dead (for a price). Pay the fee or pay with your soul to feed Gran’ma’s thirst for eternal youth. She is weathered, tough, and mean, but also intelligent beyond measure. She’s Jesse’s only living family and she loves him.
Colin Cunningham joins the cast as “TC” – A man born of the bayou and the loyalcaretaker and soldier for Gran’ma. Weasely and wiry, he’ll gladly tell you about his perversions whether you ask him or not. While he seems like the friendliest guy you’ll ever meet, don’t make the mistake of turning your back on him.
Jeremy Childs joins the cast as “Jody” — Massive and intimidating, Jody emanates danger. He’s the enforcer for Gran’ma and the only man Jesse’s never beaten in a fight. He’s nobody’s fool, and not someone to cross.
Liz McGeever joins the cast as “Christina” – Capable and efficient, Christina has a face that lures customers in for her family business. Christina hides it well, but she hates her job and has dreams and aspirations outside of her current life — but suffers to protect her child.
The third season of Preacher is slated to get underway later this year, and sees the return of Dominic Cooper as Jesse Custer, Ruth Negga as Tulip and Joe Gilgun as Cassidy the Vampire.
