The Righteous Gemstones Renewed for Season 3 at HBO
Perhaps this will push the fractured Gemstone family toward reconciliation: HBO has renewed The Righteous Gemstones for a third season, TVLine has learned.
The pickup comes just three weeks into the comedy’s current second season, airing Sundays at 10/9c. Five episodes remain in the sophomore run, with the finale set for Feb. 27.
“After a season of literal fire and brimstone, blood, sand and rollerblading, who wouldn’t come back for more?” said Amy Gravitt, HBO’s executive vice president of programming. “The Gemstone family makes us laugh like nobody else.”
Created by Danny McBride, The Righteous Gemstones follows the members of a world-famous televangelist family with a long tradition of deviance, greed and charitable work. John Goodman stars as patriarch Eli Gemstone, while McBride, Adam Devine and Edi Patterson respectively co-star as Eli’s children, Jesse, Kelvin and Judy.
Thus far in Season 2, Eli has been forced to revisit his violent past as amateur wrestler Maniac Kid, while Jesse and wife Amber have attempted to strike up a business partnership with preaching power couple Lyle and Lindy Lissons (played by Eric André and Jessica Lowe). The Season 2 cast also includes Tim Baltz as Judy’s husband BJ, Tony Cavalero as Kelvin’s right-hand man Keefe and Walton Goggins as Baby Billy Freeman.

Love this show!
HBO will likely announce Euphoria Season 3 in the not so distant future(Probably a few weeks away?).
Umm … this article is about an entirely different show. “Drop a comment with your reaction to the news [of “The Righteous Gemstones” renewal).”
Any time I get to watch Walton Goggins, especially singing in a white wig, is a good day.😁
Let’s not wait 2 years (or was it 3?!) for Season 3, mmKay?
.
And I wonder if Kevin will EVER come out of that closet! Do it for Keefe, do it for yourself Kev! And really stick it to Judy and Jesse somehow as you come out!
Yay; really enjoying this season!
Great, love those foul-mouthed preachers.
Discovered this show 1 week ago after a friend recommended it, watched the first episode of season 1 and got hooked immediately. Binge watched rest of season 1 and all of season 2 up to and including the most recent episode last night. The show provides some really genuine laughs and all the characters are great, especially Walton Goggins who I’ve been a big fan of since “The Shield” and “Justified.” His portrayal of Baby Billy is a real hoot, just looking at him gets me laughing and when he starts talking or preaching I laugh even more. I’m glad I didn’t know about the series until now, because after learning about the very long gap between seasons I would’ve been ticked off waiting for it to start up again. In any case I’m glad to have discovered it, I am really enjoying it, and very happy that there will be a season three in the works.
Very surprised they are doing another season, Season 2 finale was very much like a series ending, all loose ends were tied, all enemies vanquished, all hatches buried. What’s left to tell??
